Standards of effectiveness must be separately established to suit the needs of an enterprise, and will represent a compromise between cost, speed, error rate, reliability, level of service etc. Since administrative work involves the processing of information, O & M studies rely on tracing its flow, analysing the action required in processing it, evaluating the time involved, and devising flow pattern, staffing, physical disposition, equipment and business forms to suit the purpose.
