OPS.18:2 - Problem

Different quality questions are often compressed into one status: the process looks stable, the customer objective was met, the lot passed or the service is restored. Each statement needs different evidence and supports a different action.

A dashboard can therefore look satisfactory while the actual service remains impaired. The opposite failure reacts to every fluctuation as a process change, consuming effort and destabilizing work without a suitable monitoring basis.
