This document discusses system engineering concepts and provides examples of different types of systems. It describes a generalized model of a system with inputs, processes, and outputs. It also discusses system control using feedback loops, hierarchical system structures, and techniques for handling complex systems. The document provides examples of different system types and classes. It proposes general models for different information systems and discusses managing systems after implementation.

3. System Concepts
The word System is used in day to day in life with describing the subjects
for example education system, business system etc
System provides a meaningful framework for describing and
undertanding the functions and features of subjects
System is defined as a set of elements arranged in an orferly manner to
accomplish an objective
System is always deigned to fulfill a perticular task with special objectives
for example Student information System will give complete detail of
student.

Computer Input, Process and output Process data and provide
devices, OS information

Accounting Financial transactions, Process the transactions
Accounting principles and and produce monthly
rules, Transaction books of account and
processing methods and information about financial
tools. management
Business Organization People , Plant and Produce goods and
Machinery, Product and services to achieve the
services,Communications business objectives of
,Transport and Material Service, Turnover and
profits.

6. System Control
First control is regarding measuring output of system
Then set standard of the output as an index as system performance
If the measurement of output is not according to plan then feedback
provided to system and stop the operations
This process take place in comparison unit
Mechanism which provide a signal to system about quality, performance
is called feedback mechanism
The process of measuring output, comparing with standard, Sending
signal to the corrective unit and corrective unit active according to it is
called control.
It is done threw this diagram

9. Types of System
A system is defined and determined by its boundaries and objectives
System is an arrangement of smaller system in logical order where many
smaller system together make a larger system.
A large system can be spilicit or decomposed into subsystems up to a
certain level.
The system can be classified in different categories based on
predictability of its output and the output is known with certainty
Some Examples are:
- Determistic vs Probabilistic
- Open vs Closed System
- System vs Subsystem

11. Handling System Compexity
There are some methods used to deal with system complexity which are
- Identify the subsystems which have together for the function ‘cohesion’
- Form cluster of these subsystems and identify interconnection of this
cluster
- Form cluster of the remaining subsystems
- Connect the cluster with interface
Page 11
12. System Efficiency and Effectiveness
The performance can measured 2 ways the efficiency and effectiveness
The efficiency indicates manner in which inputs are used by the system
The effectiveness is the measure of deciding whether a system provide a
proper output or not.
A system has to be effective and efficient for the highest utility of the
system
The effectiveness I measured goodness of output
Efficiency is a measured a productivity of system

13. Post Implementation Problems of system
There are lots of problem occurs after system has implemented
successfully so to navigate this problem following steps has to be taken
- A periodic review of system
- User meeting to assess the current utility of the system and the level of
satisfaction
- Subjecting the system to an audit check threw the test data
- Running the system under audit trail
- Bringing out system modification
Page 13
14. Post Implementation Problems of system
The key terms to handle the post implementation problems in system are:
- The core design must be comprehensive and flexible to undergo a quick
change
- The associated sub systems must be built under flexible design
The most successful way of handling these problems is to have a
business analyst in org provide proper information with decision making
authority to them.

15. Classes of System
MIS should Classifies systems in 5 ways
- Data processing System(DPS)
- Transaction Processing System(TPS)
- Application Processing System(APS)
- Business function processing System(BPS)
- Integrated Information Processing System(IPS)

21. General Model Of MIS
The MIS is an arrangement of data processing and information systems in
an orderly manner to support the management in achieving the business
objectives
Mis is designed to provide the information
The performance of the mis design starts decaying in the post
implementation period
Mis provide complete mechanism to bring back the system original
equilibrium
Mis provide hierarchical structure for proper system implementation
Mis provide complete overview of system and ability to access
Mis is useful to measure performance of system and helpful to system
control
