first step in management science process is the identification of a problem that exists in the system. The system must be continuously and closely observed so that problems can be identified as soon as they occur or are anticipated. Definition of the Problem: This step relates to the clear definition of the problem. Once it has been determined that a problem exists‚ the problem must be clearly and concisely defined. Improper defining of the problem may easily result in no solution or an inappropriate
