Problem Solving for Configurable Systems

To provide an integrated overview of intercormectedness of crosscutting research areas for configurable systems, three problem-solving approaches are proposed systemic, reductionist, and analytic. These are defined as follows  

We discuss below related research in direct comparison to these three problemsolving approaches. 

At the systemic level, a supply chain is a general class of system that exhibits a cooperative behavior within its business and market environment (Klir 1991).
