Who Make PlansAs has been mentioned that one of the functions of managers is to plan. So it is clear that the managers in charge of making plans. It does not mean that managers are accountable to the state, and making plans. Who makes the plans, depending on the circumstances, and there is some possibility of anyone making such a plan. In other words a manager can assign people or certain agencies to make plans. Making a plan can be assigned to the planning committee, the planning, and / or staff.
a. Planning Committee
in the preceding description has explained that not every manager's functions is done directly. Given a manager is a man who has limited time, attention and knowledge, then some of the functions delegated to the performance is done by certain people both inside the company or from outside the company.
Planning tasks in the company is a task that is not continuous. For the implementation of the plan with the cooperation, the leaders often formed a planning committee held a planning charge.
The person elected as planning committee, specifically only the heads of sections, can also be skilled people from outside the company may, also a combination of both. So there is teamwork in the implementation of the plan, companies should employee included, such as section chief and head - the head section. To get support from the community to plan, then well too if there are elements that are included in the nature of society in such planning.
Examples of the planning committee, seen from our country with the formation of a National Planning Agency. Agency national designer who designed the construction of five years of development guided by the mandate of the president, both orally and in saying in his written mandate. Likewise with the company, the leader must give guidelines on what will be planned so that the planning committee have guidelines that must be addressed toward which the plan. The planning committee after a planned task, was dissolved by the manager, but later can be assigned to conduct the assessment will be the implementation of the plan, or is responsible for providing guidance in the implementation of the plan.
b.Planning Bureau/Sector/Departmen/Division
often task planning is a continuous task and is very complex as in the industrial company which produces various pieces. In circumstances such as these often formed a part of planning within the company, which is especially in charge behind the planning. Part of planning have equal position to other parts of the plan of all things, especially the plan of production tasks.
c.Staff
in a company, we often come across groups of employees. Group thinker and implementer groups. In general, the planning group should be someone who can think and can see the future, and can analyze the facts are available. People like these, often called the staff, the task analyze the facts and then plan a something to be submitted to the manager. Given time and knowledge managers are very limited attention to plan what actions will be implemented later, the job can be delegated to be performed by staff. These staff make a plan, which would be guided by the wherewith outlined by the manager to be approved by the manager. So, just as the service staff for the manager to formulate a plan that will be executed later by the company.
Workers who makers the plans, not actual experts agree. Terry giving four possibilities as follows.
1) Manager do all this planning own.
2) Quality Manager but it plans by utilizing suggestion from his associates.
3) Manager supplies broad Outlines of plans, subordinate WHO fills in the details.
4) Subordinates do managers planning to submit plans for approval.
The preparation of the plan can be done by various parties, but because of some things the experts argued that in order for the plan can actually be there in do some partipation join in making them. Rarely did something that the plan created by a single person. This is expressly stated WHINEWMAN as follows:
"Rarely are plans made by a single individual working alone. The executive or staff man who is developing the plan Almost always consults with a number of other people. He gets some advice on what Might be done seeks facts from many sources of checks with his tentative plan Who Will be Affected These before he is done and probably will from the initial idea Modify considerably."
Or Terry said as follows:
"In planning planner usually negotiate with others to ask for his advice, seek the facts and hear the opinions of others, and so forth. Consultation with others having the possibility, namely to improve the plans, and readily accepted a subordinate."
Strictly speaking, so the plan can be accepted by all parties, it's good opinion requested from various parties or entered into a compromise in the preparation of the plan.
