c) Setting measurable standards

Every controlling mechanism will have to lay down standards against which

actual performance can be measured. These standards have to be measurable

and within time frames.

If any activities have to be carried on during a period of say,six months, the

standards will show expectations of progress every say, week or fortnight. They

may relate to incomes, costs, use of materials, results achieved etc. If

standards are not measurable, control will be difficult. The points at which the

measurements have to be made are called critical points.

G. Co-ordination

a) Meaning

Co-ordination is the function that ensures that all activities are happening in

proper sequence in time and in space.
