Writing
S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Recommendations
I have used the SMARTER
acronym for a number of years as a means of testing the quality
or relevance of my corrective actions in routine investigations.
The other terms in the three right hand boxes are variations
of the SMARTER acronym.
If your are looking
for a corrective actions validation method there are more than
enough terms here to use for a checklist of attributes you need
to ensure your corrective actions do what you intended, reduce
the potential of future incidents!
