FSNanalyysi
FSNanalyysi is a term used in Finnish-language scholarly and professional writing to describe a structured approach for analyzing complex systems by integrating functional analysis with network-based modelling. The exact expansion behind the acronym FSN varies among sources, but the common thread is to treat a system as a set of interacting functional blocks and to study how their connections influence overall behavior. The method emphasizes three aspects: what the system does (functions), how the parts interact (network structure), and how performance or risk emerge from those interactions.
In practice, FSNanalyysi follows a workflow that typically includes: problem framing and scope; functional decomposition into
Originating in Finnish academic and industrial collaborations during the 2010s, FSNanalyysi has been described as a
Critics note that FSNanalyysi lacks a universally accepted standard, which can reduce comparability across studies. Proponents
