Logistics management is a component that holds the supply chain together. The resources managed in logistics may

Planning is the process of thinking regarding the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Planning is based on foresight, the fundamental capacity for mental time travel. Some researchers regard the evolution of forethought - the capacity to think ahead - as a prime mover in human evolution. Planning is a fundamental property of intelligent behavior. It involves the use of logic and imagination to visualize not only a desired result, but the steps necessary to achieve that result.

management to identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks

interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design and manage complex systems over their life cycles

engineering discipline that applies automatic control theory to design systems with desired behaviors in control environments

problem optimization method that simplifies a complicated problem by decomposing it into simpler subproblems recursively

system that manages the behavior of other systems

deliverable oriented decomposition of a project into smaller components (in project management and systems engineering)

Purchasing is the process a business or organization uses to acquire goods or services to accomplish its goals. Although there are several organizations that attempt to set standards in the purchasing process, processes can vary greatly between organizations.

process of bringing together the component sub-systems into a single one and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system

criteria that can be used to judge the operation characteristics of a system, rather than specific behaviors

method of identifying or measuring the mathematical model of a system from measurements of the system inputs and outputs; uses statistical methods to build mathematical models of dynamical systems from measured data

system of intercommunicating components based on software forming part of a computer system

conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and views of a system

thumb|320px|IDEF0 Diagram Example IDEF0 (ICAM Definition for Function Modeling; where ICAM is Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing) is a function modeling methodology for describing manufacturing functions, which offers a functional modeling language for the analysis, development, reengineering and integration of information systems, business processes or software engineering analysis.

Traceability is the capability to trace something. In some cases, it is interpreted as the ability to verify the history, location, or application of an item by means of documented recorded identification.

structured representation of the functions (activities, actions, processes, operations) within the modeled system or subject area
