o CONCEPT OF INVESTIGATION SYSTEM
There are some point about Investigation System Concept, which the following:
1. Discrepancy between the objective of system and the real condition of system
2. Problem detection report is not real, because:
the objective is too ideal
lack of attitude and resources
system measuring is not accurate
the objective of system which have to be left behind
difference between the idle system and the temporary system
3. The Problem solving
investigation to the system which is running
getting the ideal system consensus
choose the best alternative
4. The objective of investigation have to show the problem which in fact is happened
o CONSTRAINTS ON INVENTIGATION SYSTEM :
When we doing the investigation, there are several constraints that are appear, such as:
1. Time
2. Cost
3. Knowledge
4. Politic
5. Involved
o RECOMMENDATION
The investigation results are a recommendation that include these following:
1. Never take any action if there is no problem was found
2. System maintenance some small problems
3. Increase ability or user ability
4. Totally consider to system modification
5. Put problem into the development system plan
o TACTICS OF INVESTIGATION
1. Listen the suggestion from system agent
2. Don't give the resolving early to problem
3. Compare stories.
4. Look for reluctant responses.
5. Avoid politics.
o INVESTIGATION TECHNIQUE
Directly:
1. The questionnaire
2. Monitoring
3. Observations
Not directly:
1. Flow of procedure
2. Reviewing documents
3. Sample
4. Tabular
o SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT
1. Input
2. Output
3. File
4. Data element
5. Transaction volume and action document
6. Data flow diagram
o ANALYSIS REQUIREMENT
Intensive interactions step between systems analyze and end user
where the team development system show their skill to get respons and user trust until achieve good participation.
There are 4 goal wishes to achieve:
1. Explain the system completely
2. Describe the ideal information system
3. Bring the ideal information system at moment with observe the resource constraint
4. Give push to user conviction into development system
Method:
1. Question and Answer
2. Questioner
3. Observation
4. Current procedure
5. Document monitoring
6. Resource problem
7. Time
8. Cost
9. Skill
10. Technology
11. External factor
o Document analysis requirement
1. Analysis guide: relationship with the end user, process monitoring, problems in data gathering.
2. User requirement: real needs, report needs, exercise needs, and new system influence.
3. System problem: explain time and cost constraint, skill, technology and external factor.
4. Document such as data gathering instrument, statistic consensus, data flow according to physic and logical, first data element in data dictionary.
o GENERATING SYSTEMS ALTERNATIVES
1. create alternative to solve the information system problem
2. Applying best alternative wisely.
o OPTIONS STRATEGIES
1. Distributed versus centralized processing
Changes in information decision-making from the centralized data processing to the decentralized end user responsibility center
2. Integrated versus dispersed database
System designer must consider the data which are entered in the database and into the file
3. Surround Strategy of System Development
About important environmental strategy in the case of company takeovers because the information system of other companies may vary with the company at this time.
o TACTIC OPTION
Operational planning selection
Planner selection is able categorize into:
1. Input
•Online Vs Off Line Data Entry
•Keyed Vs Machine Readable Data Entry
•Centralized Vs Decentralized Data Entry
2. Processing
•Batch Vs Real-time record update
•Sequential Vs Direct Access to records
•Single Vs Multiple User update of records
3. Output
•Traditional Vs Turn Around Documents
•Structured Vs Inquiry based reports
o SELECTING THE PROPER SYSTEM
1. Comparing tactics: System comparison based on the costs and benefits relatively; There are 3 ways a system is superior to the other, if:
- A's cost is lower than B and both are the same benefits.
- A's cost is lower than B and A yield more advantage than B.
- A and B have the same but the A's cost advantage more than B.
2. Some methods of comparison system
- Break Even point Analyisis
- Payback Period
- Discounted PayBack period
- Internal Rate of Return
3. Category Cost
- Hardware
- Software
- People
- Suppliers
- Teleccommunications
- Physical sites
4. Fee Details
Comparing the cost of information systems through the life of the system, analysis is calculating the cost changes for the future and there are 3 models of cost of information system, namely Linear, and exponentially Step Function.
5. Cost of information system can occur only once and can also occur continously.
- The cost of information systems that occur only once is ontime cost and development cost that occur during the development of the system.
- The cost of information systems that occur on a continual basis are reccuring cost and operational cost where the cost of this is happened when the information system operates every day.
o INFORMATION SYSTEM FACTORS
Qualitative factors that lead the performance of a good information system are:
Reduce errors
1. Reduce the time to fix errors
2. Reducing the response time from the alternative workstation
3. Accelerating the provision of information
4. Increase the security system
5. Have active update source record
6. Increase user satisfaction
o CORPORATE STRATEGY FACTORS
1. Customer satisfaction
2. Level sales increased
3. Commitment of consumers and vendors
4. Information of marketing products
o PRESENTING LEARNING OF SYSTEM
1. Conduct a brief presentation
2. Reduce technical explanation in detail
3. Presenting clearly with visual aids
4. If using a model using a tool such as a laptop so that more informative
5. Emphasize the benefits of the proposed information system with some alternative that is appropriate conditions experienced by the company.
o CONTINUING THE DECISION OR NOT
1. If the company decided to develop the system, the information department will do next, namely the System Design Process.
2. If the other way then the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) will be terminated.
3. Often a problem will be found with the study system and then usually top management will ask for the re-employment the study system.
4. Model will describe some of the stages of the repeated and sometimes the information will make a decision before the repeat stage system of study.
5. With the alternative, the decision to repeat a previous stage SDLC or not is called Go-No-Go Decision.
