This model of a single simple shower is based on a 1994 paper by John Morecroft et al of the London Business School. It is used to show the impact of delay on control of a simple system.
This Insight is a simple model of a sluggish shower, the classic example from Systems Thinking of a balance loop with delay. It illustrates the sometimes baffling influence that time delays can have on simple decision making tasks.

A Conveyor is an infinite order exponential delay. This insight illustrates how increasing the order of an exponential delay begins to approximate a conveyor.
This model interprets the Balancing Loop with Delay Insight-maker Model to model the scenario when there is a time delay between the time the hot water knob in the shower is turned to when the shower water temperature adjusts in response.

A Conveyor is essentially an infinite order exponential delay. This insight illustrates how increasing the order of an exponential delay begins to approximate a conveyor. The 10th order delay very closely aligns to the Delay 10 Conveyor.
It is a simple model to show how different parameters like inventory adjustment time and delay in ordering affect the inventory replenishment system. User can change values of all the parameters.

(cf Thinking in systems, figure 31) Système soumis à des délais qui génèrent des oscillations.
4 scénarios permettent de comparer le comportement selon le délai de réaction aux variations de la demande clients. Plus la réaction est rapide, plus les oscillations sont amples. Pour les atténuer, il faut au contraire réagir plus lentement. C'est un exemple de levier efficace à actionner dans un sens contre-intuitif.
