Explain the universal systems model (i.e., input, process, and output).
Explanation should include
- inputs (i.e., resources)
- people
- materials
- information
- tools and machines
- energy
- capital
- time
- process (i.e., the way the input is changed to arrive at the output)
- output (i.e., product or end result).
Process/Skill Questions:
- How do input, process, and output make up a system?
- What are examples of the systems model?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the universal-systems model?
- What are the implications of a failed-systems model in manufacturing?
- How can a system be improved when all parts are functioning properly?
