ITEC54 QUIZ 2 Flashcards
It is the process of collecting and interpreting facts, identifying problems, and decomposing a system into its components.
System Analysis
It is the process of planning a new system or replacing an existing one by defining its components to satisfy specific requirements.
System Design
It focuses on systems, processes, and technology.
System Analysis and Design (SAD)
A system must have structure and behavior, interconnectivity, interdependence, and prioritize the organization’s objectives.
Constraints of a System
It is the arrangement of components that helps to achieve predetermined objectives.
Organization
It is defined by the manner in which the components operate with each other.
Interaction
It refers to how components depend on each other, where the output of one becomes the input of another.
Interdependence
It is concerned with how system components are connected and work together within the system.
Integration
It is the central purpose of the system, either real or stated, that drives its design and operation.
Central Objective
It involves information that enters into the system for processing.
Inputs
It is the outcome of processing within a system, producing useful results for its users.
Outputs
It is the operational component of a system that transforms inputs into outputs.
Processor
It is the decision-making element that guides the system’s activities, including inputs, processing, and outputs.
Control
It provides information to the system for corrective action and performance improvement.
Feedback
It is the external environment or supersystem within which the organization operates.
Environment
These are limits that define the system’s components, processes, and interrelationships.
Boundaries
They are systems that can be physically touched, such as desks or a computer system.
Physical Systems
It is a conceptual or non-physical entity, such as formulas or models.
Abstract System
It is a system that interacts with its environment by receiving inputs and delivering outputs.
Open System
It is a system isolated from environmental influences and does not interact with the outside.
Closed System
It responds to changes in the environment to improve performance and survive.
Adaptive System
It is a system that does not respond to environmental changes.
Non-Adaptive System
It is a system that operates for a long time, like business policies.
Permanent System
It is a temporary system set up for a specific time and then dismantled.
Temporary System
It is a system created by nature, such as the solar system.
Natural System
It is a man-made system, such as rockets or computers.
Manufactured System
