Systems Theory in Manufacturing

Systems theory views a system as comprising interconnected parts that work together to achieve a common goal. Key aspects of systems include inputs, outputs, feedback between components, and relationships with the external environment. Systems can be open, closed, or semi-open/closed depending on their permeability. The systems approach analyzes objects, situations, and matters by considering the general system and relationships between constituent parts.

Systems Theory

Sandra Rojas Gabino


System
To have a system, we must be able to identify the parts that
compose it and there must be a relationship between them such that
when one is modified, the others are also modified, generating
predictable patterns of behavior.
Every system has a relationship with its environment, to which it
conforms to a greater or lesser extent and concerning which it must
always be able to differentiate itself.
In 1950, the Austrian
biologist Ludwig von
Bertalanffy first
presented its
foundations,
development, and
applications.
Key to this formulation were the studies of Charles Darwin
and the father of cybernetics, Norbert Wiener. It was the
support for more complex and later theories based on the
basic notion of systems, such as Chaos Theory (1980), or
more recent developments that attempt to apply General
Systems Theory to human groups and the social sciences.
Principles of systems theory

• inputs
• outputs
• throughput
• Feedback
• Environment
System Types

• Open systems
• Closed systems
• Semi-open or semi-closed systems
Systemic Approach
● It is the approach of an object, situation, or matter under the
rules of a system

● goes from the general to the particular

○ Structural: Consists of the identification of the interior of the


system, detailing its components, its structure, and the
functions between them.
○ Integral: Consists of the evaluation of the functioning of the
system and the relevance of its elements, evaluating aspects
such as performance, entropy, and effectiveness

Indicators:
● These are metrics that evaluate a company's performance
against a set of pre-established objectives or expected
results over a specific period.
Indicators:
The word KPI comes from the acronym of the phrase “Key
Performance Indicators”.

What characteristics should a KPI have?


• Achievable: The objectives set should be realistic.
• Measurable: Although it sounds obvious, a KPI must be
measurable.
• Relevant: Don't fill up with data, select only the most
important ones.
• Periodic: The indicator must be analyzable periodically.
• Exactly: Choose only the most accurate part of all the
information collected.
