(1) In engineering, the monitoring of system output to compare with expected output and taking corrective action when the actual output does not match the expected output. (ISO/IEC 2010)
(2) In engineering, the monitoring of system output to compare with expected output and taking corrective action when the actual output does not match the expected output. (ISO/IEC 2010)
(3) Comparing actual performance with planned performance, analyzing variances, assessing trends to effect process improvements, evaluating possible alternatives, and recommending appropriate corrective action as needed. (PMI 2008)
(4) In an IDEF0 model, a condition or set of conditions required for a function to produce correct output. (IEEE 1998)
(5) In risk management, the formal name for the mitigation risk handling option. (DAU 2003a)
