Which three major types of management control should be effected when undertaking operations in an organization?

Answer 1

Three types of control :

1- Feed forward control: Feedforward control focuses on the regulation of inputs (human, material, and financial resources that flow into the organization) to ensure that they meet the standards necessary for the transformation process. Feedforward controls are desirable because they allow management to prevent problems before they arise , these control require timely and accurate information that is often difficult to develop , This types of controls are designed to detect deviation some standard or goal to allow correction to be made before a particular sequence of actions is completed.

2- Concurrent control takes place while an activity is in progress. It involves the regulation of ongoing activitiesthat are part of transformation process to ensure that they conform to organizational standards. Concurrent control is designed to ensure that employee work activities produce the correct results. It requires a through understanding of the specific tasks involved and their relationship to the desired and product. it often involves checkpoints at which determinations are made about whether to continue progress, take corrective action, or stop work altogether on products or services.

3- Feed Back control : This type of control focuses on the outputs of the organization after transformation is complete. It often is used when feedforward and concurrent controls are not feasible or are too costly. Feedback provides managers with meaningful information on how effective its planning effort was. If feedback indicates little variance between standard and actual performance, this is evidence that planning was generally on target. If the deviation is great, a manager can use this information when formulating new plans to make them more effective.
