System Dynamic: An Intelligent Decision-Support System for Manufacturing Safety Intervention Program Management
摘要
System Dynamics (SD) has been recognized as one of the computational technique approaches used in studying the behavior of complex feedback systems over time in diverse fields of engineering, health, social, agricultural, and management systems. This chapter deals with SD and its applications in various disciplines; simple considerations in drawing causal loop diagrams; stock and flow diagrams; and safety management systems. Furthermore, its interaction with computer programming and the application of SD in manufacturing for safety strategy selection and cost-saving are discussed. Thus, it reveals its application as one of the modeling and computational techniques useful in manufacturing safety systems for intervention strategy allocations.
