As with any complex system, the day to day decisions required to run a manufacturing operations system involves the need to understand and manage the dynamic behavior associated with such systems. Without a thorough understanding of these dynamics, it is very difficult to design appropriate control systems to decide when it is necessary to intervene and what the optimum intervention policies should be. The natural dynamics of the system play a crucial part in deciding how the management control systems should be set up. A dynamic model can be used to gain the understanding that is required to better manage operational systems.
