Description:
The Advanced Research Projects Agency has sponsored a partnership between the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of New Mexico to develop a dynamic systems model of a manufacturing process. The main goals are to design a computer model that can be used in graduate education of students in business and engineering and that can be also served as a analytical and planning tool for managers in the US manufacturing sector. A central feature is the use of interactive simulation, where key decision-makers each control dynamically linked sub-models. The promotes a better understanding of the human dimension of complex systems and allows exploration of both teaming and competitive scenarios. At the time of this writing, we are lessons, at the least from our perspective, about the utility and the proper sphere for system dynamics modeling.
