This paper presents an approach to systems analysis and design called
the Operations-Oriented Methodology (OOM), It was developed with the o
bjectives of being comprehensive in terms of scale and detail, easy to
understand by a nonexpert and capable of formal analysis. The methodo
logy was tested at seven field sites. The paper describes the fundamen
tals of OOM, and more particularly focuses on its use of Petri nets an
d Playscript formats, and how these enable us to satisfy our objective
s. Limitations of the methodology and future research directions are a
lso mentioned.
