Standard Fields
Title
The Title or text of the standard. Standards are used in the task analysis for tasks, subtasks, and steps (aka skills) to state how well the skill must be performed when it is performed. Standards describe the minimal acceptable level of performance to include accuracy, speed, quantity, and quality. Standards should be objective, observable, measurable, and should relate to the skill. The standard defines an acceptable product, an acceptable process, or both.
The standard should be defined as a product if the product is observable and can be inspected; the process by which the product was created cannot be easily observed; and the process is unimportant compared to the product. Product-based standards generally describe the product in terms of quantity (how many products created in what period of time), accuracy, tolerances, completeness, format, number of errors, and/or clarity.
The standard should be defined as a process, if the performance of the skills does not result in an observable product; and failure to use the correct process could result in damage to equipment or endanger personnel. Process-based standards generally describe the process in terms of sequence, completeness, accuracy, and speed of performance.
When a standard combines both product and process, both the end result (the product) and how it was created are important. For example, delivering mail to a residence is a product standard, but if the delivery person destroys every other mailbox during the delivery process, the product standard alone would not be enough. Instead a standard for delivering mail could be: 'to every residence receiving mail without incident'.
