Systems Thinking
SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION
System optimization is a tool or strategy used to enhance the performance of any system. It offers numerous benefits when used properly and these benefits include reduction in cost, better security, less time consumption, increased productivity etc. However optimization doesn't refer to increased or enhanced activity on a certain system, rather it refers to enhancement to the extent desired. In other words, when a system is optimized, it works in the manner which is most suitable for a particular organization. Let us take the example of a security system. In its enhanced mode, this system might cover a large area, offer strictest security, and offer protection to vast number of people. However while such a system might work for a large building such as airport, shopping malls and government buildings, they are more or less useless for say a Wal-Mart outlet. For this reason, optimization is what we are looking for so it best serves the needs of a specific organization. System optimization can also apply to the organization itself where the primary goal is profit maximization. Since an organization also runs as a system, it is important to get all its resources pooled together in the manner that best meets the specific needs of the organization. Optimization thus should not be confused with speed, increased activity, higher technology etc.
We know a system is working well when it is meeting all the needs of the organization in helping it achieve its targets and goals. There must not be any bottlenecks and delays for us to conclude that the system is working properly. System optimization helps in attaining just the right kind of balance required to produce the best results. This optimization level may be too low or too high for another firm but as long as it meets the needs of this organization, we can safely conclude that the system is working.
These learning opportunities will ensure that the University maintains and indeed improves its reputation for excellence among existing and future students. Hence, the growth of the University will be ensured. Organizational learning opportunities also exist within the balancing feedback loop. The geographic expansion of the University means the appointment of additional personnel, as indeed indicated by Robert Silberman (2009). As representatives of Strayer University, these personnel will need to be trained
The second and third runs, therefore, were largely based on making adjustments to the first run strategy. In each instance, the adjustments made increased the total profit over the four years and it is believed that continuing along that same path of making slight adjustments would consistently increase the profits earned. It is for this reason that the strategy changed little -- there was no insight that was believed
Third, subsystems engineers are more attuned to how their specific product and technology areas are driven by external market forces and market dynamics than system engineers typically are. The reason is that subsystem engineers, both hardware and software, seek to understand how customer and market needs impact their existing and future designs. As both of these classes of subsystem engineers are more focused on how to create valuable contributions
Decision Support System (DSS) Assuring a safe and secure it (IT) atmosphere for that exchange of business has been a significant problem.

Management Control System Designing Management Control System (MCS) In the contemporary world, most companies apply the use of energy to plan, manage, and execute their operations in accordance with the demands of the market and the industry. This makes energy the most vital aspect of production in business entities. Energy is crucial in running machines, recording of information, execution of communication activities, and provision of lighting within the context of the company.
