Which action signals the standardization of a successful process across the unit?

• A. Act
• B. Develop countermeasures
• C. Standardize successful processes
• D. Confirm results

Answer: (C)

Standardizing a proven method means turning the improved process into standard work that everyone in the unit follows. Once an improvement has been shown to work and the results are solid, codifying it—through documented steps, checklists, training, and standard operating procedures—lets the method be consistently applied across the entire unit. This durability and repeatability are what allow the gains to scale rather than stay isolated. Acting on improvements is about implementing changes, but standardization specifically codifies that method so it becomes the default way of doing things. Confirming results is about verifying outcomes, not spreading the process. Developing countermeasures focuses on addressing issues, not establishing a uniform, repeatable approach.
