4. 4 Introduction Both managers and systems developers can apply the systems approach when solving problems The approach consists of three phases of effort: –Preparation consists of viewing the firm as a system, recognizing the environmental system, and identifying the firm’s subsystems –Definition involves proceeding from a system to a subsystem level and analyzing system parts in a certain sequence –Solution involves identifying the alternative solutions, evaluating them, and selecting the best one

7. Transformation Process Control Mechanism Input Resources Output Resources A Closed-Loop System Feedback 6-7

8. Management Transformation Process Input Resources Output Resources Information The Physical System of the Firm as a Controlled System 6-8

9. Information is Gathered from All of the Physical System Elements Management Transformation Process Output Resources Input Resources Information Information 6-9

10. Management Information Processor Output Resources Input Resources Information Data Transformation Process The Information Processor Transforms Data into Information Data into Information 6-10

11. Conceptual System (cont.) n Dimensions of Information –Relevancy –Accuracy –Timeliness –Completeness Too Much Information is called ‘Information Overload’ 6-11

12. Conceptual System (cont.) n Standards –Measure of acceptable performance –Usually stated in specific terms –Used to control physical system –Consists of: »Management »Information processor »Standards n Objectives –Overall goal that a system is to obtain –Systems have one or more objectives 6-12

13. A Comparison of Objectives and Standards Objectives Standards of Performance Achieve an annual sales volume of at least $25 million Maintain a 20% share of the market Maintain an annual growth rate of 15% Pay dividends to stockholders each quarter Maintain the price of the firm’s common stock above $85 per share Realize an after-tax profit of 15% of sales Maintain a record of accident-free days Keep employee turnover below 10% Invest in a minimum of 15% of sales revenue in research and development Achieve stockout on no more than 2% of the items in inventory during the year Keep the number of backorders to less than 5% of all orders processed Have no plant shutdowns due to unavailable materials Have no legal actions filed against the firm by customers, suppliers, and the government Satisfy Customer Needs Produce a return on investment for the owners Operate efficiently Invest in the future Develop sources of supply Operate ethically 6-13

14. Output Resources Input Resources Management Information Processor Transformation Process Standards Information Data Performance Standards are Made Available to Both Management and the Information Processor 6-14

15. Conceptual System (cont.) n Management by exception –Compares standards with information output of system –Manager becomes involved when system falls outside range of acceptable performance –Capability provided by CBIS 6-15

16. Conceptual System (cont.) n Critical Success Factors (CSFs) –A CSF is one of the firm’s activities that has a strong influence on the firm’s ability to meet its objectives –Firms have multiple CSFs –CSFs focuses attention on a portion of a firm’s activities 6-16

17. Standards Management Information Processor Output Resources Transformation Process Input Resources Data InformationDecisions Changes are Made in the Physical System Through the Decision Flow 6-17

18. Conceptual System (cont.) n Decision Flow –Data is transformed into information by the information processor –Manager transforms information into decisions 6-18

19. The General Systems Model of the Firm Standards Management Information Processor Output Resources Transformation Process Input Resources Data InformationDecisions Environment Physical Resources Physical Resources Information and Data 6-19

20. General Systems Model in Context n Helps adjust firm n Provides a sense of stability n Provides mental picture of what to expect 6-20

21. Problems -- Good and Bad n Problem solving –Suppress harmful effects –Capitalize on opportunity for benefit n Decision –The act of selecting a strategy or action 6-21

22. Elements of Problem Solving n Desired state n Current state n Constraints –Internal -- limited resources –Environmental -- pressures to restrict resource flows } Difference = Solution Criterion 6-22

23. Problem Standards Information Problem solver (manager) Solution Alternate solutions Constraints Desired state Current state Elements of the conceptual system Elements of the Problem-Solving Process Elements of the Problem-Solving Process 6-23

24. Problems versus Symptoms Know the difference –Symptoms are produced by the problem –The problem causes the symptoms –When the problem is corrected the symptoms will cease, but not vice versa 6-24

25. Problem Structure n Structured –Elements and relationships understood n Unstructured –No elements or relationships understood n Semistructured –Some elements understood n DSS concept of managers and the computer working jointly towards a solution 6-25

26. Problem Structure DSS Computer Solve Manager Solve StructuredSemi-structured Unstructured 6-26

27. 27 THE SYSTEMS APPROACH John Dewey identified three series of judgments involved in adequately resolving a controversy 1.Recognize the controversy 2.Weigh alternative claims 3.Form a judgment During the late 1960s/early 1970s, interest in systematic problem solving strengthened Management scientists and information specialists produced a recommended framework that became known as the systems approach—a series of problem-solving steps that ensure the problem is first understood, alternative solutions are considered, and the selected solution works (Figure 7.1)

28. Phase I: Preparation Effort Step 1.View the firm as a system Step 2.Recognize the environmental system Step 3.Identify the firm’s subsystems Phase II: Definition Effort Step 4.Proceed from a system to a subsystem level Step 5.Analyze system parts in a certain sequence Phase III: Solution Effort Step 6.Identify the alternative solutions Step 7.Evaluate the alternative solutions Step 8. Select the best solution Step 9.Implement the solution Step 10. Follow up to ensure that the solution is effective Phases and Steps of the Systems Approach Decisions are made at each step of the definition and solution phases 6-28

29. 29 The System’s Approach (cont.) 1.If a manager can also regard the levels of management as subsystems, the importance of information flows becomes clear 2.A problem trigger – a signal that things are going better/worse than planned – usually stimulates a definition effort 3.A top-down analysis then begins of the system for which the manager is responsible 4.As the manager studies each system level, the system elements are analyzed in sequence (Figure 7.3)

30. The Systems Approach Requires Decision Making DefinitionEffort SolutionEffort PHASESTEPDECISION 4. Proceed from a system to a subsystem level. 5. Analyze system parts in a certain sequence. 6. Identify alternative solutions. 7. Evaluate the alternative solutions. 8. Select the best solution. 9. Implement the solution. 10. Follow up to ensure that the solution is effective. Where is the problem? Do new data need to be gathered, or do data already exist? How will data be gathered? What is causing the problem? How many alternatives should be identified? Are these alternatives feasible? Which criteria should be used? How does each alternative measure up to each criterion? Do all criterion have equal weight? Is there enough information to make a selection? Which alternative measures up best to the criteria? When should this solution be implemented? How should the solution be implemented? Who should perform the evaluation? How well is the solution meeting the objectives? 6-30
