As countries interact more and more, technology gains a decisive role in facilitating today’s increased need for interconnection. At the same time, systems, becoming more advanced as technology progresses, feed each other and can produce highly complex and unpredictable results. However, with this ever-increasing need for interconnected operations, complex problems arise that need to be effectively tackled. This need extends far beyond the scientific and mechanical fields, covering every aspect of life. Systemic Thinking Philosophy and the System Dynamics methodology now seem to be more relevant than ever and their practical implementation in real-life industrial cases has started to become a trend. Companies that decide to implement such approaches can achieve significant improvements to the effectiveness of their operations and gain a competitive advantage. This research, influenced by the Systemic Thinking Philosophy, applies a System Dynamics approach in practice by improving the quality control process of a pharmaceutical company. The process is modeled, simulated, analyzed, and improvements are performed to achieve more effective and efficient operations. The results show that all these steps led to a successful identification and optimization of the critical factors, and a significant process improvement was achieved.

Central Tenet

Access to education has been the central tenet of the Millennium Development Goal 2, which focused strongly on increasing enrolment yet failed to promote education quality and equity and address contextual complexities that sustain exclusion. As a consequence, many children are not learning. There is growing recognition that effective, efficient and equitable education for all will not be achieved without better accountability. The present paper details innovative methods for strengthening the learning process through better social accountability. The paper defines and tests in rural schools of Afghanistan and Pakistan a community-based system dynamics protocol using participatory group model building (GMB) techniques. We tested the protocol with two groups of teachers and one group of children, with the three produced causal loop diagrams highlighting factors that influence learning in the classroom from the perspectives of the participants. The sessions showed interest, engagement, quick mastery of how GMB methods work and clear understanding of how the current classroom system hinders learning for many students. Researchers found that large autonomy and initiative could be left to the workshop participants, keeping the facilitator’s role to one of explaining the method and asking clarification about causal relations.

The Relationship

За результатами аналізу відповідей студентів з Європейськогопростору вищої освіти було з’ясовано думку респондентів щодо місця таролі держави у забезпеченні контролю за якістю надання освітніх послугзакладом вищої освіти. Розглянуто особливості взаємовідносинінституту держави та інституції університету в контекстізабезпечення якості вищої освіти. Крім того, в статті обґрунтованонапрями вдосконалення змісту та практики використання механізмівдержавного управління якістю вищої освіти, а також визначенопріоритети використання суб’єктами державного управління окремихметодів впливу на систему забезпечення якості вищої освіти в Україні. Basing on the results of survey of answers of students from the Europeanhigher education space, there was determined an opinion of respondents as fora place and role of state in provision quality control of educational services ofhigher educational institutes. The features of the relationship between theInstitute of state and the institutes of the University in the context of provisionof higher education quality. In addition, the article substantiates the directionsof improving the content and practice of usage of mechanisms of statemanagement of the higher education quality, as well as determined thepriorities for the subjects of public administration to use certain methods ofinfluence on the system of quality assurance of higher education in Ukraine.
