Study Notes

System Definition and Key Concepts

A system is a set of interrelated components that work together to achieve a common goal or set of goals.
The system of interest refers to the specific system being studied, analyzed, or designed.
Systems thinking refers to a holistic approach to understanding complex systems by analyzing the relationships and interactions between components.
Systems engineering involves designing, developing, and managing complex systems, integrating multiple disciplines and stakeholders to achieve a common goal.

Categories of Systems

Natural systems: exist naturally, e.g., ecosystems, biological systems.
Human-made systems: created by humans, e.g., machines, infrastructure, organizations.
Hybrid systems: combine natural and human-made components, e.g., agricultural systems, environmental systems.

Systems Engineering and Systems Thinking

Systems engineering involves a holistic approach to designing, developing, and managing complex systems.
Systems thinking is a mindset that considers the system as a whole, focusing on relationships, interactions, and interdependencies between components.
