6. System Approach
• Technique based on the systems concepts and basic
parameters of understanding
• System approach tries to control the situations/
parameters

7. Steps
• 1: System Analysis
– Identifying elements, their organization, functions
or performance or as a whole in order to
determine the need to make adjustment to ensure
the achievement of system, namely input, process,
output and environmental constraints
• 2: System Design and Development
• 3: Systems operation and evaluation

Associate Professor, IITE, Gandhinagar

8. • 2: System Design and Development
– Determination of objectives
– Selection of appropriate devices, methods,
strategies and approaches
– Formulating a comprehensive scheme of
comprehensive programmes for working of the
system in relation to its parameters and objectives

Associate Professor, IITE, Gandhinagar

9. • 3: Systems operation and evaluation
– Manipulating the elements or inputs of the system
– Pulling the functions of elements or inputs
– Controlling the process and interaction among the
elements of the system
– Manipulating the environmental constrains of the
system

• System design and development: by generating
alternative strategies ( change in input, process or
constraints)
