Paper presented at the National Electronics Conference, Chicago, Illinois, 12-14 October 1959 by Kenneth Butler, a PhD student Assistant Instructor in Electrical Engineering at the University of Kansas.

A brief chronological list of a works related to Interpretive Structural Modeling. Includes author title and citation only, with an author index. It does not include annotations. For a revised version, see "Interpretive Structural Modeling and Related Work: Annotated Bibliography, Revised Edition" compiled in 1990.

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.

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 major contract with Ford Motor Company which resulted in the introduction of Interactive Management Workshops over the ensuing five year period.

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.

Proposal to Ford Motor Company written in August 1993. Initially rejected, Ford eventually accepted Warfield’s proposal.

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.
