- Description:
- This paper explores the advantages of System Dynamics as an enquiry method for analysis of blood bank management Systems which exhibit far reaching social implications. Causal loop diagrams are developed connecting various system components. The integration of individual causal loops is presented in the form of an influence diagram representing the ‘dynamics’ of a blood bank. Simulation model is built on the basis of causal loop diagrams. The system response exogenous disturbances or policy changes are analyzed. The catastrophe model of blood bank system is developed and the parameters forming the control surface and behaviour surface are correlated with those of the System Dynamics model.
