• None of the above

Answer 1

Measuring Actual Performance

Explanation - 

Measuring Actual Performance: After the standards have been established, the next step is to assess the activities' actual performance. Personal observation, sample checking, performance reports, and other methods may be used to accomplish this. Checking should be done precisely and consistently to ensure that the right measurement is taken for comparison. Measurement can be done both after an activity is completed and while it is in progress. For example, before putting together small elements of a larger machine, the parts can be verified. This would ensure that both the minor pieces and the finished machine are constantly monitored.
