Objective evidence required?

Hello all,

Hope you can help with a quick query I have - apologies if this has been asked before.

My organisation has recently published some new objectives for our production areas.

Delivery/Quality/Safety targets etc - all of which have tracking systems/sheets behind them to evidence our current performance vs target.

However one Environment target is causing me concern, it is for production areas to conduct power down operations - the target is "Completed: Yes/No"
Where areas have put "Completed: Yes" I have asked for evidence behind this, such as, Specifically what power down tasks have been completed? what power down tasks are required for the area? how often should these be completed? are management reviews conducted to ensure completion? etc.
I've been told it isn't required to document any of this, it's up to the area's local knowledge and to just put Yes if completed or No if not completed.

Is there a potential that we're offside somewhere here? or am I looking too much into this?

Thanks in advance for any help/guidance.

 

Objective is defined as "result to be achieved" and is required to be monitored. According to clause 9.1.1: "The organization shall retain appropriate documented information as evidence of the results". Therefore, it is just proper to ask the basis for the "Yes" answer.

 

Pending your response to @Andy Nichols very appropriate questions, when you say the above, it sounds like it IS documented (they wrote "Yes"?). Not very strong but it is documented and probably defensible.

Besides maybe counting 'yes' responses, what is the overall objective here? Reduced electrical bills?
