I shouldn't get involved in this group if I follow the traditional track.
I mean, I am doing research in the Operation Management field, trying to
crank out a paper with the Wall Street buzz words of Supply Chain
Collaboration, BPR (Business Process Re-engineering), my basic idea is: from
the System's point of view, if we set the view point at the supply chain
level (suppliers and buyers' network), instead of just one single company,
there are many greate opportunities to optimize the bigger system at the
supply chain level.
In order to build models to study the problem, I found myself run into the
same field with my roomate. He is a control engineering major. I took the
class of system engineering, and then I eventually find the gaps in
diiferent field, it was so confusing because they are all talking about the
same thing, but the language, tools, are so different.
System engineering seems to have a strong hold in Military and big project,
they are closer to management, and could be better named as engineering
management. They want to create the guideline for engineering design
process, however, I gather most engineers at least don't follow the same
jargon.
I peeked the first two chapters of my roommate's Discrete Event Simulation
textbook, and find the text is very helpful. the models are good, but not
very much mentioned is, how you come out with the model, in what process.
I am just curious, when you do the modeling, do u find the system
engineering process useful?
What do you think is the difference in modeling a machine system and a
process (business process, chemical manufacturing process)?
Did you ever see anyone use Simulink to do business process analysis?
Thanks!

packages around that do these things
If your into soft systems then Peter Checkland is the main Guru these do not
use computer packages thou
