Look for CAT 4 items to return into which categories?

• A. CAT 1 or CAT 2
• B. CAT 3
• C. CAT 4
• D. CAT 2 only

Answer: (A)

When organizing items, start by funneling higher-level classifications back into the simplest, most broadly used categories so they can be handled with the standard procedures. CAT 4 items are best placed into the two basic buckets that cover routine work: one for inspection/reporting and one for straightforward maintenance or repair actions. Depending on what the CAT 4 item actually involves, you would file it under the basic inspection/reporting category or under the basic maintenance/repair category. This keeps the workflow consistent and avoids keeping items in a higher-level category when the standard, lower-level processes apply.
