Control: The Control phase ensures that the improvements are sustained over time bymonitoring the process and preventing regression to old habits. Control charts, standard operatingprocedures (SOPs), and regular audits are used to maintain consistency and ensure that the processcontinues to meet the desired performance levels. Teams also establish feedback mechanisms toaddress any deviations promptly.Example: Regularly scheduled maintenance checks and ongoing operator assessments could helpmaintain reduced downtime levels.Implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is essential for maintaining control oversystems because they establish a consistent, repeatable framework for operations.

The difference between Training and evaluation data is to make sure that the algorithm is not memorizing certain aspects of fire but actually learning to identify fire across different scenarios. If deep learning is used in future work, certain performance metrics such as, precision, recall, and a F1-score, will be used on the evaluation dataset to measure accuracy and robustness.III.
