Lax Oversight + ???

[AlbertBel]

Would it be correct (and natural) to say "...lax oversight on controlling the process."?

 

[Tarheel]

That is not a sentence.

Please give us the entire sentence from which those words come.

I am afraid there is no sentence from which those words come. I am trying to form a text using that expression, and trying to understand its proper usage (which is the really important thing). For instance: Officials found lax oversight on controlling the processes. With this sentence I try to say that officials, after inspecting a factory (for instance) observed a negligent control of processes. Is it right? In other case, I would like to know how to use it.

You could say "While inspecting the factory, officials observed negligence involving the control of processes".

 

[AlbertBel]

Thanks for the answer Mike, but it is the expression "Lax Oversight" and its usage what I am interested in, and not an alternative way to express the meaning.

 

[MikeNewYork]

You could substitute "lax oversight" for "negligence" in my sentence, but I don't see that as an improvement.

 

[AlbertBel]

I could, but I do not want, because I want to use the expression "lax oversight" in the text. And understand its usage. Whether it is possible or not to use it with the gerund.

Lax oversight on the controlling of processes.

Lax oversight in/on the control of processes.

Lax oversight on the control of processes.

Lax oversight on the part of officials in the control of processes.

Just "lax oversight of the process." Oversight includes control.

 

[José Manuel Rosón Bravo]

Just "lax oversight of the process." Oversight includes control.

Yes, it is right, but perhaps we should use "control of processes", as something related to technical department or applied instrumentation in factory production, with the same meaning of a negligent supervision of the control of processes.

In the same way as oversight of Control Center Operations, oversight on the control agencies, etc.

I see nothing wrong with "lax oversight on controlling the process" since controls, in Quality Assurance lingo, are specific tests which themselves have to be managed and supervised. That's what QA managers do.
