Written for general audience. Examines Japanese management and manufacturing methods and compares them with Warfield's Interactive Management process. Recommends that, in spite of the success of the Japanese management tools, Warfield's IM process should replace other methods. See also, “Development of End-User Access Tools to the Science of Design,” “Comparing American and Japanese Manufacturing-Related Methodologies” and “Comparing IM With Methods Widely Used in Japan, Excerpts from Chapter 14 of IM Handbook.”
Hard copy of the paper is located in Box 24/ Folder 13 of Warfield Collection C0016, in Fenwick Library. A description of work carried on during the previous 10 years, when about a dozen college classes were taught involving the Generic Design Science, by Warfield or his closest associates. Other classes involving the material have been taught at other locations. The paper reports only that subset of these classes which was team taught, with Warfield…
This is the tentative translation of title of an article, translated by M. Karamonoff, which appears in Michael Decleris, ed. Systems Governance (Athens, Greece: A. N. Sakkoylas, 1989): 143-210. The book, written in Greek, is a compendium of eight or nine articles which are used as teaching material at the Greek National Centre of Public Administration. Article includes references to Warfield’s work and many of his figures and tables including the Domain of Science Model.
Presented at Ford Motor Company Research Laboratories, Dearborn, Michigan, 7-8 May 1990.
Results of Interactive Management Workshop held in April and May 1995, for Center for Drugs Evaluation and Research and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. Both of these Centers are part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Written in October, 1989 prior to the Great University Seminars, this document is a memorandum, or short philosophical statement on the meaning and purpose of university education, with references to ideas from Ralph Barton Perry and Russell L. Ackoff, among others. Folder also includes handwritten and typed notes by Warfield, dealing with the Great University project, and a photocopy of a paper by Jacques Derrida titled: "The Principle of Reason: The University in the Eyes…
A study of the different kinds of detractions that are at work in system design and how they affect design. Warfield classifies them into five types, each with their own variety of detractions. The five are: Individual, organizational/managerial, academic, professional, and social. Because most design activity involves more than one of these types, there is a high probability of bad design. A companion piece, “Oversight and Steering for Effective System Design” covers overcoming these detractions.…
Discusses generic aspects of design and how they may be conceptualized and studied and introduced into learning processes. Interactive Management and its Options Field/ Options Profile processes are described, as useful tools for design. See also, “Relating the Blocks of the Cosmic Partition” a figure from this paper which would later be incorporated into the book A Science of Generic Design.
In this talk at a systems conference, Warfield discusses generic aspects of design and how they may be conceptualized and studied and introduced into learning processes. Interactive Management and its Options Field/ Options Profile processes are described, as useful tools for design, principles of which would later be incorporated into his book A Science of Generic Design. Presentation was at Annual Meeting Society for General Systems Research, Los Angeles, CA, 27-31 May 1985.

Proposal to Ford Motor Company written in August 1993. Initially rejected, Ford eventually accepted Warfield’s proposal.
Copies of 70 different transparencies Warfield used for talks. This material was produced by Warfield in 1970 while he was in the employ of Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio. Later, much of this material was published by Battelle in A Unified Systems Engineering Concept, Battelle Monograph #1, 1972. See notes for the titles of included transparencies.
The aim of the project was to "engage Ford Motor Company with a new process that can be gradually installed through substitution in Ford's present Process Improvement Process." In this report, Japanese management and manufacturing methods are examined and compared with Warfield's Interactive Management process. It concludes that, in spite of the success of Japanese management tools, Warfield's IM process was superior and should replace other methods. Report was the forerunner for a subsequent long-term…
This CIM Report was the basis for a talk presented by Alexander Christakis and David Keever at a National Science Foundation Design Workshop, supported by the NSF Design Theory and Methodology Program, and administered by Professor M. B. Waldron of Ohio State University. The workshop was held at Claremont Hotel, Oakland, California, 8-10 February 1987. The report was printed as a separate 69 page pamphlet.
