- Linear decorated models that treat the process of organizing the time sequence and thus distinguish the recording phase of the existing situation, a critique of the existing situation, the proposal and implementation of new solutions and new control solutions. This procedure is commonly used in solving simple problems.
- Cyclic decorated models are based on a system of solving complex problems in the organization. Their characteristics are established need for exploring the existing unsatisfactory situation and analyze problems, assess the possibilities of development and setting requirements, then the quantitative collection of information, relevant information at the stage of labor. The modern approach to the design of organizations based on the concept of project management and cyclically regulated model. Designing the application of methods required several methods that enable to solve problems and to contribute the development of the organization.
