Why complex systems are harder to manage

As industrial systems continue to upgrade, with equipment and data layers constantly stacking, the overall complexity increases significantly. While this complexity brings stronger functionality, it also raises management difficulty.
In complex systems, problems are often not caused by a single factor but are the result of multiple factors combined. This makes problem identification difficult and greatly increases handling costs.
Therefore, more and more enterprises are beginning to focus on “complexity management,” reducing system uncertainty by simplifying structures and minimizing interfaces.
