System view




Traditional views of an enterprise Ø Describe the actual shape of the enterprise Ø Identify main processes § Marketing, Sales, R&D § Planning and Logistics, sourcing and delivery § Production, Quality, maintenance, Engineering... Ø Example: SCOR, VRM, PERA System view Ø Does not care about the actual shape and inner functioning Ø Only considers a high level meta model to map the main external interactions Ø Focuses on the what influences this shape

System approach: « understand » the whole




An enterprise is an extraordinary complex system Ø No way to understand and figure out every aspect Ø Many aspects can be handled and seen differently Ø Beyond the specific product related knowledge, apparently trivial activities might be organized and taken differently § Maketing, sales, production scheduling, facility maintenance, research... are critical activities that might have unic approach in a given enterprise Public methods and theories offer basis for their handling. Example: TOC, Lean and 6 Sigma in Production. However, implementation is always specific given the particular organization and context. However, its I/O can be more easily captured and classifed Ø The Cybernetics introduced the concept of « Black Bok » § Giving up understanding the inner complexity of a system § Analyszing its external behaviour

System approach: acting locally for global results




The system approach consist in Ø Defining and measuring the right enterprise metrics based on its external interactions Ø Finding internal weaknesses and fixing them to improve is external ­ gloobal ­ behaviour The intial steps are Ø Identifying the enterprise system I/Os § To help developping appropriate metrics § A high level meta model of the enterprise Ø Defining a classification framework for systemic improvement § To identify the key system components acting on its behaviour

Enterprise is an Open, Complex System
Physical interactions: Ø Earth, other Enterprises, internal Resources Noospherical interactions: Ø Goals of the World, Humanity, Humans, Owners, other enterprises Social interactions: Ø Nations, NGOs, Trade unions, Family Complies with cybernetics' laws... Ø Statistical behaviour on input change ...Not always Ø Unpredictable reactions to unexpected events A thermodynamic entity Ø Consumes energy, applies it on matter Ø "Heat" (waste energy) when badly controlled (thermal entropy)

Note : JDR represents only 2 flows: money and "energy" - Energy represents actually the 3 entities Energy / Matter / Information

The enterprise black box: Energy Chain
Simplification for Industrial enterprises : Energy / material grouped into Energy chain Information not a managed outcome

Industrial Enterprise System






An industrial enterprise's purpose is to make money by selling products Ø as goods, energy, services (workforce or information) An industrial enterprise interacts with many external "parties" Ø Employees as "workforce contractors" ­ not exclusive part of the enterprise Ø Government imposing regulations, collecting taxes Ø Shareholders investing capital and retrieving interests Ø Nature providing free resources and bearing nuisances Ø Other enterprises as suppliers, customers, contractors, banks, insurance An industrial enterprise has 3 main interaction domains Ø Measurable input/outputs of the system Ø Product (matter, energy, information), Money, Knowledge

Product processing






Creates Objective syntropic Value Ø by combining simple elements of matter/energy/information into more complex elements of higher potential usage / energy / information § Saleable products Handles physical flows and transformation, includes Ø Facilities engineering providing processing capabilities Ø Sourcing, subcontracting, delivery Ø Operations (production, Utilities, Logistics, maintenance, quality ..) Domain of responsibility Ø To serve the Money processing diligently Ø To manage its resources efficiently § Avoiding waste § Minimizing entropy

15

Money Processing








Creates Economic Value Ø for shareholders, employees, government Ø by connecting the product processing capabilities to the Market, Ø By creating Economic "subjective" value perceivable by customers Includes activities not related to product processing Ø Marketing, Sales, Purchasing Ø Planning Directs the (product) Knowledge processing Ø Translating the Market expectations into saleable products in terms of features, cost and timing Directs the Product Processing Ø Defining its mission (what to do, how to do, what to use) Ø Supervising its activities and Monitoring its performance § for what it is important for the money perspective
MI - Enterprise System Meta model and taxonomy 16

Knowledge processing










Exploit available knowledge, develop internal knowledge Ø to improve Money processing and sustainability Encompass knowledge about Ø Marketing, Product, Facilities engineering Ø Operations, Organization Knowledge is developed and used by Ø People (methods, theories Ø Machines (mechanics engineering, electronic computing algorithms) Supports the Money processing Ø Process market requirements for feasibility and costing Ø Implements new products development Supports the Product processing Ø Operating procedures and continuous improvement support
