Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The preventative maintenance program established by Ron is an example of feedforward control. This type of control mechanism aims to prevent problems before they occur by identifying and addressing potential sources of problems in advance. By servicing the machines on a regular basis, Ron is taking proactive steps to prevent breakdowns and other issues that may result in production delays or disruptions. This is an example of feedforward control because it addresses potential problems before they occur, rather than reacting to problems after they have already happened (which is the focus of feedback control).
