Applied systems thinking for product and service design. Construction and analysis of linear and non-linear models of interconnected systems relevant to product design such as growth/decay, population dynamics, social media behaviours, urban dynamics, sensor-response feedback loops, supply and demand, pollution modelling, consumer and end-user behaviours.
Learning outcomes1. An understanding of how products give rise to and depend critically upon complex supply chain systems 2. Develop and analyse dynamics of integrated systems in a range of application settings.3. Identify and explore relative importance of direct and indirect variables on overall system dynamics.4. Translate conceptual system designs into representative qualitative and quantitative dynamic models.5. Use systems thinking to analyse and refine innovative product or service designs through introduction or control of user-accessible features.6. Understand and communicate the effects of quantitative and qualitative responses to user interactions with a product or service.
