Quantitative model for the recycling of paper (with stocks) by Kai Neumann

Small exercise to model recycling of paper It can be used for glass or plastics as well. A scenario could be that there is a short term increase of demand or a extraordinarily low price so a paper mill decides to buy more wood which will with a delay lead to more recycled paper and a possible overproduction unless the purchase of wood is lowered again.

System-Archetyp / Verhaltensmuster Problemverschiebung by Franc Grimm

In diesem Modell wollen wir die durch Peter Senge (Fünfte Disziplin - siehe unten) bekannt gewordenen System-Archetypen (wiederkehrende Verhaltensmuster in Organisationen und Systemen) vorstellen und erläutern. Seien Sie gespannt und fühlen Sie sich möglicherweise auch gerne ertappt, ähnlich in Ihrer täglichen Entscheidungspraxis gehandelt zu haben. Die verwendeten Mini-Beispiele sollen lediglich die Verhaltensmuster demonstrieren. Die Beispiele erheben daher keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Die Beis...

System Archetype Eroding Goals by Franc Grimm

In the model "system achetypes" (https://imodeler.info/ro?key=AWmcYVpCac1lRUJaRxmTz7Q) we have explained different system archetypes, which are describing common patterns of behavior in all kind of organizations or systems. For this, we have used simple examples - mainly based on the work of Peter Senge (Literature: Peter Senge et. al., The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook, 1994). Peter Senge documented the most common set of patterns of behavior in organizations that have the tendency of reoccurring. These pa...

Solution: Where does my parent's money come from? by Kai Neumann

A model explaining the basic logic of money flows This model is part of a series of models that could serve as examples for small models on global challenges as they could be modeled by pupils. Of course, depending on their age and the time that is available as well as the help you offer they could come up with more details. What is the model asking?The model asks for the origin of the money in our pockets (using the KNOW WHY Questions from the KNOW WHY Method as they show up when we use the iMODELER). W...

EU Regulations - 13 factors to show their benefits by Kai Neumann

Just a small model to explore the current discussion on the Omnibus procedure in the EU, the idea to have less regulation and fewer restrictions to produce as cheap as possible. I have modeled more details in other models but this one here shows the fact that a lot what we consider being costs are actually investments with an increased domestic value creation - though even catastrophes add to the BIP unless you count the decrease in productivity (...).
