Directional and Process-related Facts of Systems

World is a multifaceted, comprehensive and intricate entity which can be analyzed through interrelated and unified theory of systems. The system can be defined or distinguished on the basis of its boundary or territories within which is assembled all the inputs at the disposal of an individual and

the external factors such as environment and other surroundings which has direct or indirect impact on its future behaviour.

These inputs to simplify the matter can be considered as the objective and the output can be interpreted as purposes. A system is a process to efficiently, resourcefully and economically convert inputs into outputs. Unlike the traditional school of thoughts that centred on tackling problems on the individual and units level, the contemporary mode of systems management recognizes and respects the importance of the entity as a whole and handles it accordingly.

For any elaborate and complex system process to run successfully and lucratively a directional and process related facts of systems is a must. Many a times it has been observed that a scheme of plans if not executed through proper channels and adequate directional guidance do not reach its conclusion for the simplest of causes.

Theory of systems emphasises on a realistic, unified and harmonized approach to any problem as a benchmark for its success. A strong directional management, detailed clear plan policy and process related documentation are the crucial factors in systems implementations.

Identifying and analyzing the problem, formulating integrated multiple options and defining and establishing a selection and assortment technique through directional and process related facts keeping in consideration the interlinked and interconnected prime forces like time, cost and quality are the standard yardstick to approach any problem.

Any one area or region of a system cannot be demarcated from its other section, hence a crucial sequence tackling along with an amalgamated and coordinated attack on all the fronts as a whole rather than in parts is best recommended for identifying the cause and the cure and prevention of the problem.
