The principal concern of this book is the fault tree technique, which is a systematic method for acquiring information about a system. This information so gained can be used in making decisions, and therefore, before we even define system analysis, we will undertake a brief examination of the decision-making process, Decision-making is a very complex process, and we will highlight only certain aspects which help to put system analysis in proper context.
