Objectives
*An objective is a goal that a company or organization wants to achieve, or is the target set by a process or an operation. An objective allows you to highlight the features in a process or operation that require improvement.
An objective can be quantitative (directly measurable), or it can be qualitative.
Reduce order delivery time (quantitative objective)
Improve product quality (qualitative objective)
