The document outlines three types of control: feedback control, concurrent control, and predictive/feedforward control. Predictive control anticipates and mitigates issues before they arise, while concurrent control focuses on real-time monitoring and immediate corrective actions. Feedback control evaluates completed tasks to improve future performance through assessments and adjustments.

1. Types of control
There are three types of control
• Feedback Control
• Concurrent control
• Predictive/ feedforward control

2. Predictive/ feedforward control: This type of control helps to foresee
problem ahead of occurrence. Therefore action can be taken before such a
circumstance arises.
• Feedforward control is a proactive management process that anticipates
potential deviations and takes corrective action before they occur. This
method involves identifying potential issues, analyzing their causal factors,
developing preventive measures, and continuously evaluating their
effectiveness.
• By recognizing possible obstacles or deviations from the desired outcome,
understanding their root causes and contributing factors, and
implementing strategies to prevent their occurrence, feedforward control
helps to ensure successful outcomes.

3. Concurrent control: It is also called real-time control. It checks any
problem and examines it to take action before any loss is incurred.
Example: control chart.
• Establish standards: Define performance expectations and quality
benchmarks for concurrent control.
• Real-time monitoring: Continuously observe operations to ensure
adherence to concurrent control standards.
• Immediate corrective action: Address deviations promptly to maintain
control over concurrent control.
• Employee training: Provide staff with the necessary skills to effectively
execute concurrent control.

4. Feedback Control: This process involves collecting information about a finished
task, assessing that information and improvising the same type of tasks in the future.
• Identify the need for control measures based on performance evaluations.
• Implement control mechanisms to monitor and regulate processes and outcomes.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of feedback control measures through regular
assessments and feedback loops.
• Adjust control strategies based on feedback to maintain or improve performance.
• Ensure that control measures align with organizational goals and comply with
industry standards.
