Common Elements of a System:
1. Input
The energy & raw material transformed by the system
2. Output
The product or service which results from the system's throughput or processing of technical, social, financial & human input.
3. Throughput or process
The processes used by the system to convert raw materials or energy from the environment into products that are usable by either the system itself or the environment.
4. Feedback
Information about some aspect of data or energy processing that can be used to evaluate & monitor the system & to guide it to more effective performance.
5. Control
cybernation the activities & processes used to evaluate input, throughput & output in order to make corrections
6.Environment boundary
the line or point where a system or subsystem can be differentiated from its environment or from other subsystems. Can be rigid or permeable or some point in between. Systems or subsystems will engage in boundary tending.
7. Goal
the overall purpose for existence or the desired outcomes. The reason for being. Currently, many organizations put their goals into a mission statement.
