Validating a Method of Modeling a Man-Organized System
Abstract
The man-organized system is characterized by elements such as people, material, money, and information. The set of elements together with the relationships, define the man-organized system. The man-organized system to be considered in this thesis is a large governmental agency. In general, the method of modeling developed herein is not restricted to this type of organization. It will be seen that the method may be applicable to other organizations. In the modeling of this large governmental agency, it was required that the modeling effort be performed in a reasonably short time. The model must characterize the system through use of elemental quantities related to basic system operation. Every variable in the system need not be accounted for in the model. This results in a gross representation of the system and this was the desired approach.
