Taking a Look at Control Process

Management is the allocation of scarce resources against an organization 's objective, the setting of priorities, the design of work and the achievement of results. Most important, it 's about controlling.

Overall Strength: in general, the article provides structure to a concept that is very intangible by: (a) describing the nature and the functions of control; (b) segregating the MCS into categories: core control system, organizational structure, and organizational culture; (c) illustrating how to apply the control model (satisfied my approach) (d) provides a basis for designing and evaluating the system. The manner, in which the model is presented, with its use of figures, further emphasizes the structure of the model. See below on further emphasis on parts (a) -(c).

The second aspect of management used to investigate the issue is Controlling. Control is a concern that is facing every manager in every organisation today. Many businesses continually look to improve relationships between all levels of staff in order for a healthy working environment. To effectively control a business the organisation requires information about

2) (1 point) What kind of control is this control procedure – a preventive or detective control? Explain.

The quality standards for an organisation set down the ‘rules’ around the products and services the business provides, the suppliers and services they use, how staff are recruited and trained and how customer service is dealt with.

These are the day to day quality standards of the organisation where detailed analysis of quality is measured.

Controlling is monitoring the performance of the organization, identifying deviations between planned and actual results, and taking corrective action when necessary. With all these four functions that are involved in the process of management, if all are followed correctly the organization will be properly ran and will have few complications.

The basic processes of the Project Execution and Control are the execution of the project plan and reviewing the metrics and producing the status reports. The change control process defines the procedures to handle the changes that are introduced during the project execution and control phase.

Process control plays a crucial role in the chemical engineering industry. The aim of process control is to have a safe plant operation, to attain the design product output, to obtain quality standards from maintaining the product composition and to operate at the lowest production cost (Sinnott, 2005). A process control system is there to eliminate or implement corrective actions on any disturbance that occurs during operation of a process. Achieving these actions is done through using control loops that measure specific process variables, compare a desired output to these variables and control another variable to correct any deviation in the set-point of the system being investigated (Svrcek, Mahoney, & Young, 2006).

The performance standard is zero defects: This is a technique used in the organization to make employees aware that the cost of their

Performance standards are a very integral part in the underlying business operations of any firm. Competition, particularly from foreign entities is becoming more intense. As such, standards must be created in order for companies to maintain their competitive advantage over their peers in a particular industry. One only needs to look at the auto industry to see how a lack of standards and oversight can be a detriment to business. Many foreign firms, due to competition have entered into the auto market that was once dominated solely

Management Control Systems are systems that are put into place within organisations to help ensure that managers within organisation’s act

Controls are measuring sticks to see if the desired goals are being met. Successful managers create parameters for their employees and implement controls within a criteria to confirm if the job is being done to standard. Case in point, I give quarterly performance counseling’s to each subordinate in my department on performance, being efficient at the job and using problem solving techniques. Controls to an extent border along the lines of micromanaging, but it can also be used to emphasize how well the subordinate is doing too. All quarterly counseling’s are not corrective in nature, but it is a great assessment tool for exceptional job performance as well. The usage of controls is part of my responsibility as a supervisor to ensure the goals are being achieved to standard.

A good control system provides timely information to the manager which is very much useful for taking various decisions. Control simplifies supervision by pointing out the significant deviations from the standards of performance. It keeps the subordinates under check and brings discipline among them.

The most important part of the report was the control process, here I have suggest some control techniques to make the business more effective and developed contingency plans to come out successfully if any unpredicted or incident happen in the internal or external environment.
