MILESTONES OF
SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
Why Systems?
We live embedded in systems.Structures of active agents and elements with
interaction and feedback.Environment, climate, societies, organizations,
economies, industries, family…
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Being Better with Systems
Systems evolve over time.
Can be complicated sometimes complex.
Provide leverage points for improvement.
Seeing – thinking – acting
Better structures and behaviour
Systems Tools
Structuring, IdentificationModelling, Simulation
StatisticsOptimization, Games
Decision making, ControlRisk-, Efficiency Analysis
Better decisions and improved understanding
“Operations Research - The science of better”
