- Description:
- This poster is concerned with the application of system dynamics as a decision support tool to assist the five-year development planning process in Kuwait.The Kuwaiti Government, and in particular the Ministries of the Interior and Planning, have been progressively introducing more elaborate procedures for development planning. A five year plan currently exists and is being implemented. Work is now in progress on the extension of the plan into the 1990's and a system dynamics group is to be formed to consolidate and extend existing support of the planning process. The group will use micro computer software (DYSMAP2) and plans to train Kuwaiti technicians are underway.This poster presents an example of how system dynamics is being used in Kuwait to analyse objectives and plans for feasibility and compatibility prior to implementation. The example concerns police labour force planning and preliminary results and conclusions are presented.
