What is a system?
   A system is a set of elements with relationships between them. They work together to achieve a common purpose or goal. System has inputs, processing mechanisms and outputs.
   Systems can be relatively simple, or they can be more complex. Hospitals, manufacturers, insurance companies and electric utilities can be viewed as systems. In most of these cases, the system goals is profit maximization or customer satisfaction. Inputs of these systems include labor, capital, land, merchandise, equipment, and so on. Output from these systems is the goods and services offered by the business. The system boundary defines the system and distintinguishes it from everything else. The input, the processing mechanism and the output are system elements.
