Classified index - under the following headings

1. Information Control - gathering, storage, retrieval, and organisation of data, information and knowledge.

2a. Paradigm Models - paradigms, frameworks or perspectives that help one `get a handle' on the situation.

2b. Simulation Models - models that enable answers to "What if?" questions.

3. Ways of Choosing - techniques or tools that analyse or help to narrow the field of choice.

4. Representation Aids - tools and techniques that aid visualisation of the data or problem space.

5. "Processes" - these are not in themselves tools, rather, they are management techniques or philosophies. Their primary aims are to control or 'run' some part of a manufacturing operation. They may also provide, or be based on, particular perspectives rather like the paradigm models above.
