Steps in the Control ProcessCybernetic control system is self-contained in its performance-monitoring and correction capabilitiesStep 1ЎXestablish objectives and standardsPerformance objective should represent key results that one want to accomplish. The focus on planning should be on describing Ў§criticalЎЁ or Ў§essentialЎЁ results that will make a substantial difference in the success of the organization. The standards are important too and they must be considered right from the beginning.
Two types of standards:Output standards-measure performance results in terms of outcomes like quantity, quality, cost, or time of accomplished work.Input standards-measure effort in terms of the amount of work expended in task performance. They are used in situations where outputs are difficult or expensive to measure.
Step 2ЎXmeasure actual performanceThe goal is to accurately measure the performance results and or the performance efforts. The measurement must be accurate enough to spot significant differences between what is really taking place and what was originally planned.
Step 3ЎXcompare results with objective and standardsThis can be expressed as the following control equation: Need for Action=Desired Performance ЎV Actual PerformanceThere are different ways to compare desired and actual performance:Historical comparison uses past performance as a benchmark for evaluating current performanceRelative comparison uses the performance achievements or other persons, work units, or organizations as the evaluation standard.Engineering comparison uses engineered standards set scientifically through such methods as time and motion studies.Step 4ЎXtake corrective action as neededThis process can be applied to personal planning as well.This step is to take any action necessary to correct or improve things and it allows for a judicious use of management by exception the practice of giving priority attention to situations that show the greatest need for actions. This approach can save valuable time, energy, and other resources, while allowing all efforts to be concentrated on the areas of greatest need. Two types of exceptions may be encountered:
Problem situation in which actual performance is below standard. Corrective action is required to restore performance to the desired level.Opportunity situation in which actual performance is above the standard. Actions should be taken to continue this higher level of accomplishment in the future.
Management by exception focuses managerial attention on substantial differences between actual and desired performance.An after-action review formally reviews results to identify lessons learned in a complete project, task, force, or special operation.Types of ControlsThree major types:Feedforward ensure that directions and resources are right before the works begin. Also called preliminary controls, are accomplished before a work activity begins. They ensure that objectives are clear, proper directions are established, and that the right resources are available to accomplish them. They are designed to eliminate the potential for problems later on in the process by asking an important but often-neglected question: Ў§What needs
