It is an integrated set of components or entities that
interact to achieve a particular function or goal.
Systems have characteristics such as boundaries,
outputs and inputs, methods of converting inputs into
outputs, and system interfaces
They are composed of interrelated and interdependent
subsystems
Every system has a boundary that defines its scope of
activities
Systems may consist of numerous subsystems with
elements, interactions and objectives
mp
The system¶s environment consists of people,
organizations and other systems that supply data to or
receive data from the system
Open Systems
These are the systems that operate in an external
environment and exchange information and material
with that environment
The external environment consists of the activities
external to the system boundary with which the system
can interact
An open system needs to receive feedback to change and to
continue to exist in its environment mm
i
Closed System
It is relatively self-
self-contained and does not exchange
information with its environment
Closed systems do not get the feedback they need from
the external environment and so tends to deteriorate
ma

System feedback
A system needs feedback that is an indicator of current
performance rates when compared to a set of standards,
to do its job
With effective feedback, continuing adjustments in the
activities of a system can be made to assure that the
system achieves its goals
Measuring performance against a standard is an
effective control mechanism

Systems Entropy
This corresponds roughly to chaos or disorder-
