prompt/timely follow-up (by operating/plant manager/management)


Explanation:
As an answer to the question "How are corrective actions followed up/tracked and measured?", the German "zeitnahe Begleitung" sounds rather odd in this context, hence my suggestion.

Betriebsleitung could be "plant manager/management" or "(operating) site manager/management".

close monitoring


Explanation:
"Prompt follow-up" is probably spot on, but due to lack of context (what is this all about), I see the possibility that my suggestion might fit.

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: though 'close' needn't refer to time - how about '(near) real-time monitoring'?

  -> Good idea - although we don't know about "real-time" - it's the lack of context which keeps us guessing. :-)
