Processors may modify the input either totally or partially, depending on the output specification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As the output specifications change, so does the processing. In some cases, input is also modified to enable the processor for handling the transformation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The control element guides the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is the decision\u2013making subsystem that controls the pattern of activities governing input, processing, and output.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The behaviour of a computer System is controlled by the Operating System and software. In order to keep the system in balance, what and how much input is needed is determined by Output Specifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Feedback<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Feedback provides the control in a dynamic system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Positive feedback is routine in nature that encourages the performance of the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negative feedback is informational in nature that provides the controller with information for action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The environment is the \u201csupersystem\u201d within which an organisation operates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is the source of external elements that strike on the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It determines how a system must function. For example, vendors and competitors of an organisation environment may provide constraints that affect the actual performance of the business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boundaries and Interface<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A system should be defined by its boundaries. Boundaries are the limits that identify its components, processes, and interrelationship when it interfaces with another system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each system has boundaries that determine its sphere of influence and control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The knowledge of the boundaries of a given system is crucial in determining the nature of its interface with other systems for successful design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following diagram shows the elements of a system \u2212 Outputs and Inputs Processor(s) Control&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142,"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140\/revisions\/142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itnotes.apjsoftwares.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
