I have learned that a system can be represented with different
models like integrated circuit simulation, 3D computer aided
model, software design and architecture models etc. After
learning the 2nd week lecture notes and some other supporting
materials I have learned about the details components of a
system. I have learned that the behaviour and nature of any
system can be characterized through complexities and
emergence.
I have also learned that in order to enable any system the actual
interest of those systems should be identified first based on the
operational environment. I have learned details activities offered
by the product system, service system, enterprise system and
system of a system capability
Apart from that, I have learnt about the details of risk
management plan and the way through which risk management
strategies can mitigate the potential challenges. Whether a risk
is acceptable or not is also measured through risk tolerance
matrix and that measurement approach is also learnt from the
week 2 lecture notes. I have also learned about all the
components of system thinking in terms of control behaviour,
effectiveness, survival behaviour, regularity and goal seeking
behaviour
