System Implementation

The new HR system project implementation stage for Riordan Manufacturing is very important. At this stage of the project there will be a need of key personnel to be working together to ensure that the implementation goes smoothly. The departments that will need to have staffing involved in this stage are the HR, Technology departments. Each department will supply the staffing for the team that will assist in ensuring that the information gathered and received from their department is correct.

The implementation stage will take time and will be quit challenging due to the different systems that each facility uses to maintain their information. It is important that teams from the HR and Technology departments stay involved in the project for the entire system and development process to ensure the implementation goes smoothly. The HR department is responsible for ensuring the new system is designed to meet their needs. The Technology department is responsible for designing the new system and ensuring that all end users are trained properly on how to use the new system.

Coding

        During the coding process, of Riordan Manufacturing’s new HR system, it is important to consider all its essential features and functions to ensure a module is developed without any errors. These features and functions will be used by the end users and system administrators, therefore they need to be free of errors. A central database is where all the information within the System will be kept and maintained, therefore it is important for the team from the Information Technologies department to keep in mind the usability of the system. This will help the developers to ensure the correct types of software are developed for the system.

        The standards and procedures used during coding are based entirely on the instructions given by the experts in that field. The coding process of the new system may be guided by several platforms. Each platform is relied upon for their effectiveness and used as advised. This method is call the Interactive method, in which select groups are divided into specific sets. Each set is then held responsible for a specific aspect of the system. This method allows the developers and designers to be guided through the process one area at a time. When using the Interactive method, the completion of each stage is dependent on the completion of the preceding stage.

System Testing

        It is important to test the system before the implementation of the new system. This is done after the experts have finished the design and development stage. Several points, in which are geared towards the actual and expected output of the system, need to be noted. Riordan’s request for the new system is clear and concise, therefore, allowing the developers and designers to be aware of the purpose for the new system during the design and development phase.

        During testing, unreal scenarios of test data are ran through the system to ensure the outcome is as desired. This also allows the developers to know if adjustments are required. This is done by the system development team selecting scenarios that would exist in a pre-existing system. System administrators are then required to analyze the results of the test. The report given to the developers by the system administrators, will allow them to know if they are on the right track or if they need to take action to get the system back on the desired track.
