Deming (1993) defines a system as

a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system.

System technology, as used here, is the sum of the means by which we examine, describe, control, utilize, guide, and genopersist the interdependence of the components.

System technologies must often incorporate business technologies, cost technologies, engineering technologies, human technologies, mathematical technologies, or quality technologies to be fully functional.
