Feedforward control takes place before operations begin and includes policies, procedures, and rules designed to ensure that planned activities are carried out properly. Feedforward control is future oriented; its aim is to prevent problems before they arise. Instead of waiting for results and comparing them with goals, a manager can exert control by limiting activities in advance.
