Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thinking in systems allows you to view problems as parts of a whole and gives you a tool set to address those problems. In this activity, you will use your knowledge of systems thinking methodologies to analyze a scenario and map the relationships between the parts of a system.<\/p>\n

Prompt<\/strong><\/p>\n

To successfully complete this activity, address the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Define the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0following systems-thinking concepts in your own words:\u00a0\n
      \n
    1. Define systems \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0thinking<\/em>, providing an example of how this is used in the IT field.<\/li>\n
    2. Describe \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0collections and how they are distinguished from systems.<\/li>\n
    3. Define feedback \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0loop<\/em>, providing an example of how this is used in the IT field.<\/li>\n
    4. Define stock \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and flow diagram<\/em>, providing an example of how this is used in the IT \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0field.<\/li>\n
    5. Define casual \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0loop diagram<\/em>, providing an example of how this is used in the IT \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0field.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    6. The following \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0scenario describes the system used for fulfilling an online order at Lost \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pines Outfitters, a medium-sized outdoor clothing store. Read this \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0scenario and create a basic map of the system using Microsoft Visio.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0Lost Pines Outfitters (LPO) Online<\/strong>
      When a customer places an order through LPO\u2019s online portal, the order is sent directly to the warehouse, where an associate takes (pulls) the selected items from warehouse shelves. Warehouse associates use a single computer to track incoming orders, locate items in inventory, and pull inventory for fulfillment. Once LPO\u2019s warehouse associates have pulled the items from inventory, they manually update the inventory tracking system and the item is sent to the fulfilment department. In the fulfillment department, associates package the items for delivery to customers and assign the shipment a tracking number through the U.S. Postal Service. Once the order has shipped, an associate in LPO\u2019s fulfillment department manually checks the tracking information and updates the order\u2019s delivery status. Once the customer receives the order, an associate sends a card, thanking them for their purchase and requesting they leave a review of the item and their experience shopping with Lost Pines Outfitters.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Once you have mapped this system, you will map relationships contained within the system. First, identify relationships within your system diagram that represent feedback loops, and represent those loops within your model. Then, identify a relationship within the system that could be modeled with \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a stock and flow or causal loop diagram, and model that diagram in Visio.<\/li>\n
      2. Compose a \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0brief, 250- to 500-word summary of the given system as well as the interactions and relationships present in the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What to Submit<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Upload a Word document that must include your written descriptions and your diagram of the system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
