Define key action steps. The definition of key action steps establishes the sequence and priority of steps required to attain objectives. Specifically, major steps are lined up in the order in which they are to be performed; this list in cludes the evaluation of risks for the steps planned, the definition of contingency steps to ensure the expected results, and the specification of who is responsible for each step and who is accountable for achieving the target value associated with each step.
Action steps must be reasonably implementable.After the expected results are
defined, engineering managers should plan these steps with the active participation of involved workers to benefit from their creativity and expertise in the subject.
