The 4 quadrants described in the article “Operations
Innovation & Transformation – the 4 Types Part 1 of 5" positions the
upper right quadrant as a strategy for governing business processes and teams
of human assets in a new way.
In the upper right hand quadrant, managers and supervisors
use consistent measures and business processes to adjust targets for
specialists and other workers, using the industrial automation concept of a
“control loop.” One example of this control loop is where
managers negotiate the next day’s production targets each day using the same
business process for all specialists and industrial locations.
