| Abstract: | To assess the degree to which systems thinking enters into considerations of modern manufacturing, several interconnected, schemes are developed which provide a taxonomy of manufacturing problems. It is shown that each problem exists at a certain hierarchical level, the lowest being Raw Materials, the highest Values. Each problem can be labeled as a Design, Production or Distribution problem. It is shown that each problem has associated with it, one or more fundamental system concepts lending the problem its system flavor. |
