   1. (a) Clearly identify and resolve problems as early as possible.
   2. (b) Utilize DRP components in a low-to-high-cost sequence.
   3. (c) Allow flexibility in the use of the components.
   4. (d) Provide for appropriate involvement of affected and responsible parties.
   5. (e) Provide as much process certainty as possible.
