Feedforward is a preparatory control.
EX. Smelling food leads to salivation and production of stomach acid in preparation of food. OR Starting to exercise increases heart rate and breathing rate in preparation of running low on oxygen for muscles.
Feedback is a control mechanism where the product of the end mechanism either enhances or inhibits the start of the mechanism
Positive feedback enhances
Negative feedback inhibits
Temperature control is regarded as an example of negative feedback because it is used in homeostasis.
The endocrine system has four major mechanisms of control that regulate its functions. They are: Hormonal control, neural control, negative feedback, and positive feedback.
The three main components of the feedback loop are; soliciting information, collecting information and compiling the information into a report. The last component of the feedback loop is implementation of the information
1) Use ONLY feedforward control if:The physics/chemistry of the application are well knownYou can easily measure or calculate the variables in the equationsThere are no significant process disturbancesThe accuracy of the measurements used is an order of magnitude better than the application specifications2) Use ONLY feedback control if:Significant un-modeled process disturbances existYou cannot measure or calculate variables in the equations describing the physics/chemistry of the application.The accuracy of the measurements used is NOT an order of magnitude better than the application specifications.3) Use both when:The physics/chemistry of the application are well knownYou can easily measure or calculate the variables in the equationsThe accuracy of the measurements used is on the order of the application specificationsYou want to prevent saturation of the controller integratorsYou want to improve trajectory tracking, but 2nd and higher order dynamics in the plant limit your controller bandwidth

One major advantage of feedforward controls is that it prevents large disturbances in your output
In Control function of Management,Critical control point (CCP) is a point, step or procedure at which controls can be applied to the system (feedback or feedforward) and a disturbance can be prevented, eliminated or reduced to acceptable (critical) levels.
Sometimes feedback controls are called preliminary controls, they are accomplished before a work activity begins. They make sure that proper directions are set and that the right resources are available to accomplish them
It begins with the establishment of clear standards of performance, involves a comparison of performance to those standards, takes corrective actions, if needed, to repair performance deficiencies; is a dynamic, cybernetic process, and uses three basic methods-- feedback control, concurrent control, feedforward control.
Feedforward.
One major advantage of feedforward controls is that it prevents large disturbances in your output. A disadvantage is that it may not account for all potential disturbances in the input, leading to large disturbances in the output.
difference between feedback and control
Cybernetic controls include Routine Expert Trial-and-error Learning takes place here through feedback and feedforward Non-cybernetic controls include Intuition Judgement Power and politics Learning does not take place as objectives are ambiguous, outputs are not measurable and the effects of intervention are unknown
Temperature control is regarded as an example of negative feedback because it is used in homeostasis.
In industry closed control is a closed loop feedback where a pump or motor has an encoder or feedback device to keep the operation regulated.
The endocrine system has four major mechanisms of control that regulate its functions. They are: Hormonal control, neural control, negative feedback, and positive feedback.
