DEFINITION

Design Solution involves creating the means to accomplish the stated mission or objective. "To design" means to function according to a plan. The design establishes the relationships among the various parts of the organization (or the system), linking them together and outlining the composite whole.

NATURE OF DESIGN:

The design includes arranging physical facilities and technological processes to carry out production and auxiliary activities. It also determines the nature of the task, the job, or the work to be performed by the people in the organization. Therefore, the design must consider the network of communication that will unite technology, structure, and people into a coordinated effort, a total system.

FEATURES:

Design of a new organization is only the first phase of the design function. The scope of system design also covers the function of "redesign", which implies assessing the existing system to improve its effectiveness and efficiency.
