Q. Feed-forward control - prevention rather than cure?

Feed-forward control would be a system that in a pre-emptive way, reacts to changes in its environment, normally to maintain some kind of desired state. Feed-forward control systems react to future performance expected e.g. make control adjustments, before adverse conditions expected do occur.

Forecasting ahead and doing something now before the event occurs
Examples include cash budgeting or strategic planning
Control action would be 'closing the stable door before the horse bolts'
