Disadvantages And Disadvantages Of Standardization

Standardization or standardisation is the process of developing and implementing technical standards. Standardization can help to maximize compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability, or quality. It can also facilitate commoditization of formerly custom processes. In social sciences, including economics, the idea of standardization is close to the solution for a coordination problem, a situation in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. This view includes the case of "spontaneous standardization processes", to produce de facto standards.

Standardization means to cause to conform to a standard. The advantage of standardization is that a person knows what to expect and when to expect. Due to standardization it creates a brand name. The customer has confidence on what type of food or service they are going to receive. It is cost effective leading to higher profitability. There is consistency and uniformity in the service. Management becomes easy. Also, future planning can be done on the basis of past experiences.

The disadvantage is that, it does not allow man to show its own creativity. Sometimes even the customers may get bored of repetitive type of food or service. It does not allow the stores to show its uniqueness. So the major compromise is between the security that comes with being part of standardized brand and the uniqueness that comes with a lack of standardization. Lot of training is required for
