Control Systems

Chapter 5 in The Control of Staff-Related Overhead, 1976, pp 52-67 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Clearly, work measurement by itself achieves nothing and the only value of administrative work measurement depends on positive use being made of the measurement standards. That use can be to achieve control of clerical cost. We can suggest therefore that control in this area normally has one overall fundamental objective, namely action by management to achieve and maintain higher productivity and lower cost in matters relating to white-collar operations.
