Baseline Control

Baseline control refers to a foundational approach in managing systems or processes, where a standard or reference point is established to maintain stability and prevent deviations. Think of it as setting a standard "normal" condition or level, which serves as a benchmark. When the system operates within this baseline, it indicates normal functioning. If the system moves away from this baseline, control mechanisms can activate to bring it back to the desired state. This concept is used in various fields, including engineering, automation, and project management, to ensure consistent performance and facilitate effective monitoring and adjustment.
