Definitions

checklists taken from policy letters on or related to management by statistics and interpretation of statistics. They are inspection checklists. The items are all taken directly from the PLs and the only change in the wording of any of them consists of making each one a negative. Thus if in using a checklist the inspector or observer asks himself, "Does this item on this checklist exist here?", and finds that it does exist, then the PL the item belongs to is to that degree, violated, and he knows that he has his hands on an error, an out-point, or a possible why. As the subject is broad and has a lot of materials on it, the checklists have been divided into 4 parts. Part A is to do with the indicators and consequences of not having and using stats. Part B concerns the admin and preparation of graphs for inspection and use. Part C has to do with handling statistics, reading statistics, analyzing statistics. Part D concerns inspection of areas with down stats, actions to take on stats, and what to do about the conclusions arrived at in reading or analyzing the stats. (BPL 29 Sept 72R I)
