Exploring the Effect of Hiring Rules on Quality in a Large Engineering Company Using System Dynamics
PubblicoAfter perceiving decay in the quality of their products, A Large Engineering Company (ALEC) sought to understand the reasons behind it. Adopting a systemic approach to analyzing the structure and dynamics of the organization was proposed. System dynamics, a novel methodology that relies on feedback loops, causal link, and stocks and flows, clearly is an appropriate tool for shedding light and stimulating insight, from a holistic point of view, on the dynamics that may have caused the quality decay. The model illustrates ALEC's workforce supply chain and how its structure affects the production's quality.
