Title: Explain the universal systems model (i.e., input, process, output, and feedback).
Course: Technology of Robotic Design (21009-18) > Section: Exploring Robotics and Automation Systems

Explanation should include

- inputs (resources)—

  - people
  - materials
  - information
  - tools and machines
  - energy
  - capital
  - time

- process—the way the input is changed to arrive at the output
- output—product or end result
- feedback—information provided about how the process is working.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How do input, process, output, and feedback make up a system?
- What are examples of the systems model?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the universal systems model?
- What are the implications of a failed systems model in manufacturing?
