Can you link to a picture of the model?

Maybe you could decide on the amount of money needed to produce a specific value, and call that amount "1", as in 100% of the amount needed to produce a specific value.

My thoughts. Tell me if I'm way off on some of my posts because I've been studying SD on my own, and still have lots of questions. The biggest lesson that I've learned is that there is no single right way. Yes, businesses do like to show how values relate to financials. With a library, the primary f...

West Virginia US. Thanks for the info.

I found that MIT is offering a 1 week course periodically "solving complex business problems". That looks like a solution.

Thanks. There are a few 2 day courses in the US.

a) 2 days beginner or intermediate

b) Masters degree course

I can travel.

Thanks for the D-Memos reference. Checking it out now.

Thanks. That book helped. It answered questions that I've had since day 1.

What's the easiest math way to show a delay? I'm still learning some basics. I saw simply dividing by, say 3...on a quality/perceived quality model...and it gave a line that slowly approached making perceived and actual quality meet. But the math doesn't work....like 3 days later it isn't the number...

wow, thanks.

Hey, thanks much for that. The multiple ways of addressing the same problem was very insightful. I'm studying the books pretty hard, and stalling on basic questions. Thanks again.

I've been looking for a two week course in the US...but I can only find workshops or entire degrees. Does anyone know of where I can find more extensive training in the US? (on systems dynamics, facilitation and modeling etc.)

Am I allowed to post questions about iThink here? I've been working with it about 1 month, and I'm still a little stalled on a few basic very simple questions. 1. What is the best way to represent a stock capacity (as in "holds 3 gallons and more won't fit"?) An "if (<= 20) then X els...
