Systemic Objects as Complex Adaptive Systems

Abstract

They are complex objects that develop an added value in themselves. They generate an energy transformation in such a way that it cannot be used to add value to a function other than that implicit in the object’s purpose. They are transforming systems; therefore, they have a high entropy level. Their quality assurance systems are quite basic to be reliable. Their failures result in considerable energy losses. That is why their purpose should be clearly defined as well as the analogous and homologous fields where the energy transformation is produced. The maximal strategy of systemic objects is to generate the transformation of energy that is needed to add value within the use of a quality assurance system. The maximal strategy implies that the energy consumption and waste of energy are minimized in order to provide the maximal added value accepted by the client with the minimum cost. The minimum strategy of systemic objects implies generating the value the organization needs within adequate quality controls using the alternative plans that are necessary to achieve the established goals.
