Programmed (Routine) Decisions: Programmed decisions are routinely repeated decisions. Such decisions are implemented in the same way as they have been once taken. Most of the daily decisions are considered as this type of decisions. Managers don’t need to allocate time for these types of decisions. Most of the decisions taken by lower-level managers and mid-level managers are scheduled decisions. Decisions related to staff affairs or decisions related to the purchase of raw materials and supplies are examples of this type of decisions.
