The failure mode is responsibility diffusion, where untraceable reasoning corresponds to unobservable states in control systems that cannot be diagnosed or corrected. These three levels form a necessary hierarchy where representational...

...Huthaifa AL-Khazraji; Colin Cole; William Guo Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose a new dynamic model of a production-inventory control system. The objective of the new model is to maximise the flexibility of the system so that it can be used by decision makers to design inventory...
