Correct answer: new procedures are implemented.
Why: when a procedure is new there’s little or no historical data, performance is unstable (learning curves, setup problems, unforeseen bottlenecks), and measurement methods may not be settled. That makes any early standard unreliable.
Practical fixes: run pilots or time studies, collect data over a stabilization period, involve employees who do the work, and revise standards as real performance data accumulate.
