CONTROL

                                                         

CONTROL:

                                  Every management function and activity has to be planned and controlled in order to achieve the desired result. Control is of as much importance in management as planning. Control involves the processes for ensuring that behaviours and performance conform to an organization standards including rules, procedures and goals.
                      
                       Controlling ensures that there is effective and efficient utilization of organizational resources so as to achieve the planned goals. It also involves carefully collecting information about a system, process, or group of people in order to make necessary decisions about each.

The basic control process involves three steps:

1.Establishment of plans and standards

2.Measurement of performance

3.Corrective (or prevention) of Deviations

Establishment standards: 

                        Standards can relate to criteria of performance and methods of performance. Standards are the benchmarks towards which efforts of entire organisation are directed. Standard is for managers to know what to measure, when and where, and what is desirable.

 Measurement of performance:

                        Measurement is the key for ensuring performance, which implies that all plans and goals should be made measurable in order to judge performance against the standards set by management.

Correction of Deviation:

                       Prevention should be the ultimate goal of controlling, but most control system are focused to correct the situation unless specifically designed for prevention by feedforward control. Corrective actions are at the center of not only controlling systems, but also the entire management system. Managers must be able to control and guide the event to lead to the desired results according to plans.

Feedback control:

                      It is designed to provide feedback information and measurement that can be used to compare performance with a standard, and allow initiation of corrective action.

Corrective control model:

There is very wide scope of control in an organization. Control system can be designed to cover almost all management activities in a business enterprise.
