  "definition": "1. Systematic planning is a planning process that is based on the scientific method. It is a common-sense approach designed to ensure that the level of detail in planning is commensurate with the importance and intended use of the data, as well as the available resources. Systematic planning is important to the successful execution of all activities at hazardous waste sites, but it is particularly important to dynamic field activities because those activities rely on rapid decision-making. The data quality objective (DQO) process is one formalized process of systematic planning. All dynamic field activities must be designed through the use of systematic planning, whether using DQO steps or some other system. See also Data Quality Objective.\n\n2. EPA uses systematic planning to plan projects and link goals, cost and schedule, and quality criteria with the final outputs. Systematic planning ensures that all participants understand the needs and expectations of the customer and the product or results to be provided by the supplier. {ORD} {OPP} {OAR/OAQPS} {ORCR}\n\n3. A planning process that is based on the scientific method and is based on a common sense, graded approach to ensure that the level of detail in planning is commensurate with the importance and intended use of the work and the available resources. A systematic planning process is performed to ensure that all organizations and/or parties who contribute to the quality of the environmental program or use the results are identified and that they participate in this process. The systematic planning process also provides for direct communication between the customer and the supplier to ensure that there is a clear understanding by all participants of the needs and expectations of the customer and the product or results to be provided by the supplier. {OW/EAD}\n\n4.
