Furthermore, the positive factor about using a system-based approach is it increases productivity, can be cost-saving, requires communication, and engagement. The system-based approach is comprised of four elements, and they are people, systems, design, and risk. The people factor focuses on the interaction among people working together to complete a task. The system factor focuses on addressing any complex issues that might arrive during the task, and the design factor focuses on identifying the problems and finding a solution.
