Question #2
Identify how queues are different than items flowing into and out of stocks as characterized by systems dynamics.
System dynamics perceives all dynamic behavior - or flow - to arise in stocks due to the Principle of Accumulation. In other words, it asserts that all dynamic behavior in the world occurs when flows accumulate in stocks. This can be both helpful and not helpful since -- given that flow is dynamic - both informational and noninformational entities can flow along with the…
