Synthesis of Several Techniques

Abstract

Business systems analysis can have many forms and names, accounting, Industrial Dynamics, 1 operations research, motion and time study, and budgeting, etc. These should not be considered as separate, but as systems where each can contribute enormously to the power of the others--the integrated whole is immensely greater than the sum of the parts. Each produces an analog of an enterprise system or subsystem, and these analogs simulate the behavior of the system caricatured. I contend that each would gain enormously in power if all were merged into a single analog as against their treatment as separate independent analogs.
