  16. SPECTRUM OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE • AUTOMATION: Using technology to perform tasks efficiently / effectively • RATIONALIZATION OF PROCEDURES: Streamline SOPs; eliminate bottlenecks • BUSINESS REENGINEERING: Radical redesign of processes to improve cost, quality, service; maximize benefits of technology • PARADIGM SHIFT * 11.16

  17. PARADIGM SHIFT • PARADIGM IS A COMPLETE MENTAL MODEL OF HOW A COMPLEX SYSTEM FUNCTIONS • A PARADIGM SHIFT INVOLVES RETHINKING THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS, THE ORGANIZATION; A COMPLETE RECONCEPTION OF HOW THE SYSTEM SHOULD FUNCTION * 11.17

  18. High RISK Low Low High RETURN RISKS & REWARDS 11.18

  19. IT CAPABILITIES & IMPACTS • ANALYTICAL: Can bring complex analytical methods to bear on process • INFORMATIONAL:Makes vast amounts of detailed information available • SEQUENTIAL:Enables changes in sequence, parallel tasks * 11.19 Source: Davenport & Short “The New Industrial Engineering”(1990)

  20. IT CAPABILITIES & IMPACTS • KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT:Allows capture, dissemination of knowledge, expertise • TRACKING:Allows detailed tracking of task status, inputs, outputs • DISINTERMEDIATION:Connects parties who otherwise depend on an intermediary * 11.20 Source: Davenport & Short “The New Industrial Engineering”(1990)

  21. BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING (BPR) • WORK-FLOW MANAGEMENT: Streamlining process to move documents easily, efficiently • REENGINEERING * 11.21

  22. BUSINESS REENGINEERING STEPS: 1. Develop business vision, process objectives 2. Identify process to be redesigned 3. Understand, measure performance of existing processes 4. Identify opportunities for applying information technology 5. Build PROTOTYPE of new process * 11.22

  23. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM) RESPONSIBILITY FOR QUALITY SHARED BY ALL PEOPLE IN ORGANIZATION * 11.23

  24. CONTRIBUTIONS OF TQM • SIMPLIFY PRODUCT OR PROCESS • BENCHMARKING: Strict standards for measuring performance • LISTEN TO CUSTOMER DEMANDS • REDUCE CYCLE TIME • IMPROVE DESIGN • INCREASE PRECISION OF PRODUCTION * 11.24

  25. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS • SYSTEMS ANALYSIS • SYSTEM DESIGN • PROGRAMMING • TESTING • CONVERSION • PRODUCTION & MAINTENANCE * 11.25

  26. SYSTEMS ANALYSIS ANALYSIS OF PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED WITH AN INFORMATION SYSTEM FEASIBILITY STUDY: CAN PROBLEM BE SOLVED WITHIN CONSTRAINTS? * 11.26

  27. FEASIBILITY • TECHNICAL:Assess hardware, software, technical resources • ECONOMIC: Will benefits outweigh costs • OPERATIONAL:Is solution desirable within existing conditions? • INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS:Detailed statement of new system needs * 11.27

  28. SYSTEM DESIGN DETAILS HOW SYSTEM WILL MEET NEEDS: • LOGICAL DESIGN:Components, data as needed by applications • PHYSICAL DESIGN:Physical location of components and data * 11.28

  29. DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS • OUTPUT • MEDIUM; CONTENT; TIMING • INPUT • ORIGINS; FLOW; DATA ENTRY • USER INTERFACE • SIMPLICITY; EFFICIENCY; LOGIC • FEEDBACK; ERRORS • DATABASE DESIGN • LOGICAL DATA RELATIONS • VOLUME, SPEED REQUIREMENTS • FILE ORGANIZATION & DESIGN • RECORD SPECIFICATIONS * 11.29

  30. DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS • PROCESSING • COMPUTATIONS • PROGRAM MODULES • REQUIRED REPORTS • TIMING OF OUTPUTS • MANUAL PROCEDURES • WHAT ACTIVITIES • WHO PERFORMS THEM • HOW • WHERE * 11.30
