Physical Systems
The first step is to identify the physical components of the system. Some systems and processes are primarily physical, such as manufacturing, transportation, nuclear power, etc. The design of physical systems is quite different than knowledge or creative processes. Physical systems can and often do have many engineering and scientific knowledge constraints that must be dealt with during the design process.
Also, many physical processes require a high degree of standardization to reduce variation and ensure safety. While designers of automated physical systems have to deal with engineering challenges, they often have fewer human issues to overcome. However, many to most physical systems involve some integration of humans to perform certain tasks or make certain decisions. Integrating humans can provide additional options but at the same time adds constraints or limitations. If the system can be automated, then that will impact the remaining design decisions. Generally speaking, humans make poor machines. Thus, if a system can be automated, it probably should be.
Since controls often impede other desirable characteristics (e.g., creativity and innovation), the objective is to include only as much control as is necessary to meet the requirements and nature of the system. While some systems are primarily physical systems, there are often knowledge and sometimes creative dimensions or components integrated in these systems.
