In systemsscience Hard systems is a title sometimes used to differentiate between different types of systems problems. It is opposing soft systems . Overview While Soft systems thinking treats all problems as ill defined or not easily quantified, Hard systems approaches Systems analysis structured methods , Operations research and so on assume that the problems associated with such systems are well defined they have a single, optimum solution a scientific approach to problem solving will work well technical factors will tend to predominate Methodology In hard systems approaches or Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology SSADM , rigid techniques and procedures are used to provide unambiguous solutions to well defined data and processing problems. These focus on computer implementations. In Soft systems methodology SSM , a toolbox of techniques can be used at the discretion of the analyst. These focus on improvements to organisational problems. Systems Thinking According to Peter Checkland , Systems Thinking is composed of two complementary processes Systems analysis Systems Synthesis Checkland draws attention to these two alternative paradigms to explain the nature and significance of Systems Thinking Paradigm 1 the world is considered to be systemic and is studied systematically Paradigm 2 the world is problematic I.e. it admits to many different interpretations and we study it systemically Now the first paradigm reflects the notion of Hard Systems Thinking and the second reflects the notion of Soft Systems Thinking.

Systems philosophy is the study of the development of systems , with an emphasis on design and root cause analysis . Systems philosophy is a form of systems thinking . Ludwig von Bertalanffy , the founder of systemsscience , categorized three domains of systemics the philosophy of systems, the theory of systems, and the technology of systems. This was later modified by B la H. B n thy of the Primer Group to a fourfold model, the philosophy, the science, the methodology and the application of systemics. The philosophy and the science of systems constitute the knowledge of systems the methodology and the application constitute the action of systems.
