Abstract
A method for using and interacting with mathematical or algorithmic business system transfer functions in support of a business information, analysis, decisioning and control system. The method includes developing at least one high-level business system view wherein the transfer function is configured to quantitatively express the business system view; identifying a number of input parameters associated with one or more of the resources used in the business process, identifying at least one output parameter associated with the operation of the business process; collecting operational data that associate the number of input parameters with the at least one output parameter based on an actual operation of the business process. The method also includes a primary display layer that presents a control scenario for a testbed environment for the business information and decisioning control system.
