7.2 System Modeling and Variable Identification


Typical decision variables in systems include,

- mass
- volume
- power consumption
- component cost
- factor of safety
- signal-to-noise ratio
- transmission rates
- etc.

A model of the system should relate the decisions to be made mathematically. These relationships oftem include performance measures,

- cutting speeds
- cycle times
- power
- capacity
- flow rates
- etc.
