This paper is based on the premise that there is a need to formalise the procedures used in system dynamics. outside the area of computer simulation analysis, to create a stepwise procedure for systemic analysis. This need arises within the subject when applications encroach on areas where quantification is difficult or unacceptable or when a full qualified analysis is not an economic proposition or limited by time factors. The paper suggests that qualitative system dynamics should be propogated through the medium of a general framework for system enquiry. The need for general systemic methodologies is examined and the major elements of system dynamics are used to formulate the basis of such a methodology. This formulation presents a means for qualitative problem analysis in terms of the organisational structure and process control structure of systems using generally proven results developed from quantitative system dynamics models.
