Controlling
Mr. Jai Prakash Gupta is the general manager of “ Bhagwati Udyog Pvt .Ltd.” With a view to running his business in a careful manner, he divided all the activities into seven departments. These Departments were: purchase, Marketing, production, personnel, finance, Accounting, and Correspondence. Later on, he realized that accounting and correspondence department can be merged into finance department. Thus, all business activities were divided into five departments. Mr. Gupta is now thinking on the lines as to which are the department, out of these five that will have significant role in the success of the business, After complete analysis, he concluded that marketing, production, and finance were the department on which success of the business depended, It meant that even if some shortcoming occurred in the departments of purchase and personnel, it would not affect much the success of the business, Thereafter, Mr. Gupta determined deviation tolerance limits of these three main departments. It meant that if a deviation of these departments remains within this tolerance limit, then it will be looked after by the concerned manager. However, in case the deviation is beyond this limit that same will be brought to the notice of General Manager.
