Arrange the following steps of controlling process in the correct sequence:
(A) Setting standard
(B) Comparison
(C) Measurement of Actual Performance
(D) Applying critical point control
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (C), (B), (D)
(A) Setting standard — first. Controlling begins by fixing the standards against which work will be judged.
(C) Measurement of Actual Performance — second. The work actually done is then measured, in the same units as the standard.
(B) Comparison — third. Actual performance is compared with the standard to find the deviation.
(D) Applying critical point control — fourth. This is part of analysing deviations. The manager does not check every small gap. He looks at the key result areas and the deviations beyond the allowed limit. Corrective action is taken after this.
