Defines the requirements for process measurement frameworks for use in process assessment.

This International Standard sets out the requirements for process measurement frameworks for use in process assessment. The requirements defined in this International Standard form a structure which establish the requirements for process measurement frameworks in the context of process assessment, establish the requirements for the validation of process measurement frameworks for use in process assessment, and establish requirements that are applicable to any process measurement frameworks to develop composite measures across domains. This International Standard is applicable to the development of process measurement frameworks for any process quality characteristic across all application domains. AnnexA presents a map of terminologies used in this International Standard. AnnexB provides an explanation of construct specifications. AnnexC reviews statistical validation methods. AnnexD provides some methods including references that can be utilized in implementing the requirements for process measurement frameworks. These Annexes will be moved to a guide for constructing process measurement frameworks to be developed as part of the set of International Standards. NOTE ISO/IEC33020 is a process measurement framework for assessment of process capability based on this International Standard.
