Systematic process

A systematic process involves use of a defined system for defining of a problem, the searching of alternative solutions in general through analysis of alternative models, and the selection of the best alternative model that will eventually decide the course of action.

Adoption of a systematic process in in management or scientific decision making approach may involve the following steps:

1. Definition of a problem for analysis

2. Object or subject observation

3. Collection of data

4. Declaration of hypotheses

5. Design of experiments for data testing

6. Formulating a theory

The complexity of systems in management forces the analyst to use simplified models or use equally complex technologies and methodologies to capture the relevant relationships.

Mathematical models have been shown to be very effective in helping to find the alternative best suited to a number of diverse situations applicable to the data.
