Participative Design Using Soft Systems Methodology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Participative design is an effective tool for designing organizational systems where conflicting and diverse goals of users and clients from different organizations must be reconciled. This paper presents a methodology for participative design based on Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). A brief overview of SSM is first presented. The design methodology is then presented within the SSM framework. The design methodology prescribes a set of activities to accomplish participative design, and uses two design tools from the manufacturing and process engineering fields Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and the IDEF0 functional modeling method. Experiences using the design methodology are also presented.

متن کاملPartiSim: A multi-methodology framework to support facilitated simulation modelling in healthcare
Discrete event simulation (DES) studies in healthcare are thought to benefit from stakeholder participation during the study lifecycle. This paper reports on a multi-methodology framework, called PartiSim that is intended to support participative simulation studies. PartiSim combines DES, a traditionally hard OR approach, with Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) in order to incorporate stakeholder i...
