<p>Management Control-GPT-01-20-2026</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Management Control =<br /> Management control is the set of feedback processes used to steer a project or organization toward its objectives. Control does not eliminate uncertainty; it detects variance early and enables corrective action.<br /> <br /> == Cybernetic control model ==<br /> A classic model treats control as a &#039;&#039;negative feedback loop&#039;&#039;:<br /> # set goals/standards,<br /> # measure performance,<br /> # compare performance to goals,<br /> # identify variances and causes,<br /> # take corrective action and adjust plans.<br /> <br /> == Management control in civil engineering ==<br /> Typical control domains:<br /> * cost control (budgets, earned value, forecasting),<br /> * schedule control (critical path, look-ahead planning, productivity),<br /> * quality control (inspection/testing, nonconformance management),<br /> * risk control (risk registers, triggers, response tracking),<br /> * safety control (leading indicators, incident learning).<br /> <br /> == Designing controls ==<br /> Effective controls are:<br /> * timely (information arrives early enough to act),<br /> * reliable (data quality is understood),<br /> * decision-linked (connected to authority and action),<br /> * proportional (control effort matches consequence).<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Management Plans and Sub-Plans]]<br /> * [[Civil Engineering Processes]]<br /> * [[Civil Engineering Projects]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Project Management]]</div>
