PLC 7: Control System Design

                                                       Control System Design 

Background 

At my College , there is a student organization that focuses on raising awareness and advocating for

 causes related to environmental concerns; I am a member of that organization. We are working

 toward a variety of goals, some of which include bringing attention to issues concerning climate

 change and the environment, educating people about sustainable practices, and advocating for

 changes in policy. The members of the organization come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but

 they are all united in their commitment to promoting environmental awareness and advocacy. It is

 essential to have a robust control system in place in order for us to effectively achieve our goals. This

 system should be able to effectively monitor the progress of our efforts and assist us in identifying 

   areas in which we can make improvements.

 

Controls 

One variety of control system, known as output control, is an example of one that works

 exceptionally well for our company. The output control strategy places an emphasis on the results or

 outcomes of our work, such as the degree to which our events were successful, the number of people

 who attended, or the amount of money that was raised. Through the process of monitoring our

 advancement and evaluating our achievements, output control can assist us in locating places where

 we can make improvements and establishing new objectives. For instance, if we were to host an

 event that did not turn out to be as successful as we had hoped, output control would make it

 possible for us to evaluate the results and figure out what we could do differently in the future to

 increase our rate of success. The control of output also enables us to measure our progress over time

 and observe the results of our labors to determine whether or not they are fruitful.

 

Another type of control system that would work well for our organization is one that focuses on

 changing people's behaviors. The actions and behaviors of our members are being observed and

 evaluated as part of this form of control to ensure that they are conforming to the standards set forth

 by the organization. We are able to ensure that all of our members are working together toward the

 same goals and that no one individual is working against the organization's goals because we

 monitor the behaviors of our members. Controlling members' behaviors can also be useful because it

 enables us to cultivate a culture of accountability and inspires our members to perform to the best 

of their abilities in their work. This has the potential to assist us in ensuring that our organization is

 always working toward the accomplishment of its goals.

 

The final type of control system that works well for our organization is one that is based on clans. 

Developing a sense of community and fostering a spirit of cooperation are two of the primary goals 

of clan control within an organization. Clan control has the potential to assist us in developing an 

environment that encourages cooperation and support among our members by promoting an 

atmosphere characterized by trust, respect, and teamwork. This can assist us in ensuring that 

everyone is cooperating with one another to achieve our shared objectives. Clan control contributes 

to the formation of a sense of unity within the organization, which in turn can assist us in 

maintaining our drive and keeping our attention fixed on the accomplishment of our objectives.

 

In conclusion, the three different types of control systems are appropriate for the objectives, 

projects, or tasks that are being pursued by our organization. Controlling our output allows us 

to measure our progress, controlling our members' behaviors enables us to evaluate their 

performance, and controlling our clans enables us to foster a sense of community and encourages 

collaboration. All three types of control systems collaborate with one another to bring about the 

desired outcomes. We are able to ensure that our organization is always striving to achieve its goals 

and that our members are working together in a unified and collaborative manner by putting in 

place a robust control system that is currently in place.
