Definitions

1. the verbal or written direction from a lower or designated authority to carry out a program step or apply the general policy. (HCO PL 29 Feb 72 II)

2. some program steps are so simple that they are themselves an order or an order can simply be a roughly written project. (HCO PL 29 Feb 72 II)

3. the program step itself or the verbal or written project to get the program step fully done. (HCO PL 29 Feb 72 II)

4. the direction or command issued by an authorized person to a person or group within the sphere of the authorized person's authority. By implication an order goes from a senior to juniors. (HCO PL 25 Nov 70)

5. policy is the broad general outline originated by top management. Orders are the instructions issued by the next lower level of management to get things done that result in products. (FBDL 12)

6. orders are what are issued to get the actions called for in policy done so that a product results. (FBDL 12)

7. the program is the big solution to a problem. The little problems inside that big solution are solved by projects and inside the projects the littler-littler problems are solved by orders. (FO 2192)

8. chaos is the basic situation in this universe. To handle it you put in order. Order goes in by being and making stable terminals arranged to handle types of action and confusion. In organizing units, sections, divisions, departments, orgs or areas of orgs you build by stable terminals. You solve areas by reinforcing stable terminals. Executives who do not grasp this live lives of total harassment and confusion. (HCO PL 27 Oct 69)

9. good line and particle control. The difference between order and chaos is simply straightforward planned flows and correct particles. (HCO PL 27 Feb 72)
