SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS - ASPECTS
Material flows Chain of command Information flows
§ Each system can be analyzed based on particular filters that highlight specific Aspects of a
System
§ An industrial firm may be considered by specific aspects like material flow, information flow,
paths
§ Elements of a system may be relevant as to several aspects and may appear in several
illustrations, e.g. Department is relevant as to material flow, information flow, etc.
§ The different aspects of a system serve only for temporary reduction of complexity but show
interdependencies among each other, like material and information flow
§ The insights drawn from representations are strongly influenced by the respective aspect
§ The consideration of a system through different aspects is the basis for the description of the
layered structure of a system
