Information

This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL).

Blocks are information processing systems or (on a lower level of aggregation) processes with information inputs and outputs only. Typical examples will be management seen as a subsystem of a company receiving information from production systems, processing them and sending out information according to decision making policies. On a lower level a simple transformation of information may be modeled as a block.

Notes

• Given the origin of system dynamics in electrical engineering the term "block" is a clear reference to signal-flow processing and control engineering, where such systems are represented in a block-diagram.


• Blocks are exceptional in the absence of material connectors such as stock or flow ports.
