Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The goal of decreasing waste by 6 percent over the next six months is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), making it an appropriate goal for an MBO (management by objectives) program. The other goals may also be important to the organization, but they are not as specific or time-bound, making them less suitable for an MBO program.
