ABSTRACT This assignment asserts that problem identification and problem solving processes can be integrated into work processes by imbedding tests that evaluate system-performance. These tests are imbedded in individual work activities‚ in the connections that link those who provide a product‚ service‚ or information with those who receive it‚ and in the overall construction of pathways over which products‚ services‚ and information take their final form. These immediate tests are possible
