Abstract
In locating this chapter within an Operations Research perspective some assumptions need to be made explicit - in particular the audience for this paper may range from those with no knowledge of system dynamics, to experienced practitioners. Hence an effort will be made to discuss essential background ideas along the way, and my apologies then, to those who find some material redundant.
