Steven Robbins and Mary Coulter control is the process of monitoring, comparing and correcting work performances. Whereas Henry Fayol believed that control consist of verifying whether everything occurs in conformity with the plan adopted, the instructions issued and the principles established. Thus control allows managers to carry out a plan which enables them to pin point any errors and carry out appropriate action to correct them. There are a number of controls still used by managers in various

Designing a Speed Control system of a DC motor based on PID algorithm using MATLAB SIMULINK DC motors have variable characteristics and are used extensively in variable-speed drives. DC motor can provide a high starting torque and it is also possible to obtain speed control over wide range. Why do we need a speed motor controller? For example, if we have a DC motor in a robot and we just apply a constant power to each motor on a robot, then the poor robot will never be able to maintain a steady

Questions: 1. Where is the theater’s control system lacking? The main problem of theater’s control system is in Management control, especially in Motivational problems. Employees are not motivated enough to generate profit. Moreover, you shouldn’t forget about strategic control, because as said in the book “strategy may have become obsolete… in more dynamic environments” p. 8. which will cause even more problems in the future. 2. Are the controls themselves weak or incomplete, or are the

main disadvantage is most motors operate with a fixed frequency resulting in an almost constant speed, adjustable-speed drives are increasingly introduced into a diversity of applications. Such a cause must include a power electronic converter to control the magnitude and frequency

By defining the parameters and relation in CATIA final gear model will look like Fig.2 and by changing the parameters, angular degree (a), module (m), and number of teeth (z) we will get different gears. Fig.2 Solid model of gear in CATIA Hertz theory assumes the gear teeth as an equivalent contacting cylinder. Therefore the gear can be modelled by two contacting parallel cylinders with the properties described in following
