definitions
The following definitions may be helpful when considering this subject. These come
from the ARC and the MDD.
Assessment??”An appraisal that an organization does to and for itself for the
purpose of process improvement.
(Process) Appraisal??”An examination of one or more processes by a trained
team of professionals using an appraisal reference model as the basis for determining,
at a minimum, strengths and weaknesses.
Evaluation??”An appraisal in which an external group comes into an organization
and examines its processes as input to a decision regarding future business.
(Note: This definition is somewhat misleading since evaluations can be
either Acquisition/Supplier Selection or Process Monitoring. Process Monitoring
includes incentive/award fee decisions or risk management planning.)
Organizational unit??”That part of the organization that is the subject of an
appraisal (also known as the organizational scope of the appraisal).
