Proper management of a business enterprise implies control over all its components. If you lose sight of this leverage, the system quickly disintegrates, on its own. Competent control begins with planning, setting goals and assigning responsibilities.
Instructions
Step 1
Identify the tasks that need the most management oversight. In any company there are main divisions that perform the main production functions, as well as support departments, whose activities are not decisive and do not directly affect the final result. By creating a hierarchy of functions, you can identify priority areas that require special attention.
Step 2
For each structural unit or stage of work, if we are talking about an unfolding business project, appoint people who will provide leadership. Clearly define the terms of reference for line managers and the scope of their authority. To control his area of work, each manager must have a real opportunity to influence the state of affairs and intervene in the production process.
Step 3
Develop and implement a system of standardized reports from the heads of structural divisions. You should systematically receive information that characterizes the performance of the company in all areas. This is one of the important conditions when setting up a control system. The data are brought together, systematized and correlated with the planned indicators.
Step 4
Introduce it into practice for the management of the enterprise to visit individual production areas. This will make it possible to assess on the spot how efficiently the work is going, and will also create the appropriate motivation for the staff. Knowing about the possibility of sudden inspections, employees will be more responsible in carrying out their duties. Visiting grass-roots departments also provides an opportunity to get the feedback needed to make management decisions.
Step 5
In those areas where possible and appropriate, use technical means of control over production. The installation of open video cameras will help not only to constantly monitor important production processes, but also increase the level of discipline, as well as allow to objectively assess the quality of work of the company's services and divisions and resolve disputes.
