THE
ESSENCE OF MANAGEMENT, THE ROLE OF MONITORING IN THE CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE
REGIONAL STRUCTURE AND TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE AGRO-FOOD SECTOR
The most complete essence of management may be disclosed through its
functions, under which, in general, can be understood as a special type of
management, highlighted in the process of division of labor and specialization
in the management and represents a relatively independent section control. At
the moment various authors found significant differences of opinion when
determining the number of control functions. A number of studies, some authors
admit mixing functions manage and control subsystems, resulting in the
inclusion of the number of management functions of logistics, financing and
other non-management functions.
Many authors are limited, usually only a simple transfer of management
functions or give while the most common characteristic of their nature; others
- have different definitions of the contents of the same control functions. But
to describe the content of a control function, you must have one definition.
Often, the number of management functions include the organization of
the authors. Although, in our opinion, the organization is nothing other than
the specific elements of the managed subsystem (e.g., human), are in a certain
interaction with each other. The result is that the organization itself feels
the need to manage; It can hardly be considered legitimate, and the inclusion
of the management responsibilities stimulation, which refers to the management
methods with which ensured the optimum interaction of the various parts of how
to manage and control subsystems. When you select among management control
functions, some authors consider it on par with other functions, without
distinguishing what is monitoring the aggregate function that combines two
other functions - accounting and monitoring.
The department can be identified the following four broad functions:
planning, accounting, monitoring and regulation.
The main purpose of planning as a management function is to provide
direction and parameters of managed objects in the near future (shift per day,
five days, and so on). The plan is a pre-determined direction of action for
achieving this goal. The plans put into practice the technical, economic and
social policy of management. Increased production of planning requires further
substantial, improving planning. Science and practice suggest that one of the
ways the transition to a qualitatively new level of planning and management
should be considered the use of science-based standards for planning, allowing
for close and complex relationship of operational, current and future plans.
Another function of management, it is part of the account. The main
objective of accounting is to reflect the actual daily running processes and
ensure on this basis, monitor the implementation of the production plan as a
whole and in each of its parts and for each period of time. By using a special
methodology for continuous collection of information on the actual development
of business processes, its classification and generalization, accounting thus
allows timely identification of different kinds of deviations from the planned
direction and parameters of development. In this capacity, the account acts as
a base for monitoring, control and life support managed objects.
The next important function of management – monitoring. His appointment
is a qualitative transformation of planning and accounting information, as a
result of which reached an understanding of the processes and nature of
exposure to both objective and subjective factors. Monitoring allows the course
of the production process to obtain a quantitative and qualitative assessment
of changes in the development of managed objects with respect to the given
parameters, quickly identify trends and patterns of development of managed
objects, detect losses and their causes, identify the reserves of increase of
efficiency of activity. In this context, monitoring is the basis for
development control decisions.
One of the main and responsible management functions – regulation, which
consists of the development and adoption of management decisions, as well as
the implementation of their execution. The most active part of the regulatory
function - implementation of the decisions taken or the regulator, which is the
final link in the technology management. The main task of the regulator is to
block unwanted effects of factors on a managed object and hold various
parameters of these situations processes within predetermined or optimum.
The regulatory function is carried out on the basis of monitoring is to
make decisions on the adjustment plans, improving accounting, the technical,
economic and organizational activities that contribute to addressing the
identified deviations and optimization of the process being controlled. This
regulating effect on the controlled process may be provided either through a
plan or directly on the process elements within the plan period. B. practical
scientific and industrial associations and industrial enterprises is one of the
solutions implemented in the functional areas, and the other - in the line
where directly have an impact on the process. Correct decision made in a given
situation requires a comprehensive accounting of controlled (depending on the
decision maker) and unmanaged (at which the decision can not affect) the factors
and constraints.
All of these management functions are closely interrelated and together
form the management of the closed loop created by the control part, a managed
object, and links that display their interaction. The circuit allocated control
actions directed from the control part to the object management, and feedback
is provided from the object to the control part.
Correlation functions gives an understanding of the general principles
of management, so that it is invariant with respect to the different management
processes. However, it should be borne in mind that in actual correlation
functions is somewhat more complicated. For example, monitoring data are often
used to perform scheduling functions - in this case, a correlation functions. In
addition, between the functions of management, there are still methodological
connection: accounting methodology depends on planning methodology; monitoring
methodology – the methodology of planning and accounting and more.
