  • System dinamics, which abbreviated as SD, is a methodology based on feedback systems borrowed from control theory, and it can handle easily the non-linearity and time-delay and the multi-loop structures of the complex and dynamic systems (Kala et al., 2017).
  • It is a method that extends beyond conventional domain of systems approach to large-scale complex engineering problems, since it deals with interaction of various elements of a system in time and captures the dynamic aspect by incorporating concepts such stock, flows, feedback, and delays, and thereby provides an insight into the dynamic behavior of system over time (Tang & Vijay, 2001).
  • In its full development, SD is a discipline with the scope of science, education, law, engineering, or medicine (Forrester, 2009)
