“Fashionable” Business Management Controls


                       
Business management control has become more a matter of fashion and less what it’s intended to be. The idea is constantly marketed by consultants as business management break-throughs.

Well-known more recent ones were known and are still referred to as Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma systems. They are simply just old-fashioned quality control procedures.
                       
But doesn’t everyone believe in production or process improvement or quality control? Whatever label you put on them? A good business
manager inherently knows this without the labeling.

The trick is in implementation. Motivation is essential in sticking to such programs on an ongoing basis. Boredom always is the fly in the ointment, so periodic appraisals are essential. Furthermore, management needs to employ in-house or outside experts to check on processes and results.
                       
Forget the titles that you assign your project. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at twitter.)
