14. CONTROLLING
• The process of measuring performance and
taking action to ensure desired results.
• Has a positive and necessary role in the
management process.

right way, at the right time.
15. What is the control process?
• Steps in the control process –
• Step 1— establish objectives and standards

• Step 2— measure actual performance
• Step 3— compare results with objectives
and standards
• Step 4— take corrective action as needed
17. What is the control process?
Step 1—establishing objectives and
standards
• Output standards
Measure performance results in terms of
quantity, quality, cost, or time.
• Input standards
Measure effort in terms of amount of work
expended in task performance.
18. WHAT IS THE CONTROL
PROCESS?
Step 2—measuring actual performance
• Goal is accurate measurement of actual
results on output and/or input standards.
• Effective control requires measurement.
19. Step 3—comparing results with objectives and
standards
• Control equation
• Need for action reflects the difference between
desired performance and actual performance
• Methods of comparing desired and actual
performance
1) Historical comparison
2) Relative comparison
3)Engineering comparison
• Benchmarking using different comparison
methods
20. • Step 4—taking corrective action – Taking
action when a discrepancy exists between
desired and actual performance.
– Management by exception
• Giving priority attention to situations
showing the greatest need for action.
• Types of exceptions –
1)Problem situation –
2)Opportunity situation
