Information System Design and Analysis

System Investigation Concept (Fourth Quiz)

There are 2 factor to begin system investidation:

1.Discrepancy of gap between system purpose and real condition of system. When there is a discrepancy of gap between system purpose and real condition of system, team investigation started to find what is the problem, learn the system purpose, process of the system and condition when system working.

2.Report of unreal problem detection

We can report detection unreal problem from the following reasons that is:

1. Purpose too much ideal

Purpose too much ideal can make the report investigation can be unreal.

2. Less resources and or manner

Less resources can make detection problem not done especially when detection started without manner.

3. System measuring is not accurate

When system measuring is not accurate, the report can’t use anymore.

4. System purpose are old

The Old system purposes can make the report not up-to-date.

5. The differences between idle system and temporary system

Problem solving:

- Define developing system –> Detailed investigation

- Get the ideal system consensus

- Expand some alternatives

- Select the best alternative

The Goal of investigating is to showing the real problems

The obstacles in Investigation System

When doing investigation several obstacles appear like:

- Time

- Cost

- Knowledge

- Politic

- Get involved

Recommendation

The investigation results are a recommendation that include these following:

- Never take any action –> if there is no problem was found

- System maintenance –> some small problems

- increase ability or user ability

- totally consider to system modification

- put problem into the development system plan

Investigation tactic

Why we need tactic?

- to find all the problem

- to find out the reason

- to find out the best solution

Investigation tactics is very important for the entire elements system so that the system can accept request solution without disturb their activities.

Some tactics that we can do:

- listening the suggestion from system agent

- don’t give beginning solution

- comparing the stories from system agents about similar cases

- notice the logical inconsistent problem

Investigation Techniques

1. Direct:

- Questioner

- Question and Answer

- Monitoring

2. Non-direct:

- Current procedure

- Learn the document

- Sample

- Tabular

System Description at The Moment

- Input

- Output

- File

- Data element

- Transaction volume and action document

- Data flow diagram

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:

- Explain the system completely

- Describe the ideal information system

- Bring the ideal information system at moment with observe the resource constraint

- Give push to user conviction into development system

Method:

- Question and Answer

- Questioner

- Observation

- Current procedure

- Document monitoring

Resource problem

- Time

- Cost

- Skill

- Technology

- External factor

Document analysis requirement

- Analysis guide: relationship with the end user, process monitoring, problems in data gathering.

- User requirement: real needs, report needs, exercise needs, and new system influence.

- System problem: explain time and cost constraint, skill, technology and external factor.

- Document such as data gathering instrument, statistic consensus, data flow according to physic and logical, first data element in data dictionary.

Generating Systems Alternatives

How to make the system at moment condition more close with the ideal system condition?

- create alternative to solve the information system problem

- Applying best alternative wisely

Strategy option

- Distributed versus centralized processing

Changing information decision from centralized data processing to decentralized end user responsibility center.

- Integrated versus dispersed database

System planner must consider what kind of incoming data to database and incoming to file.

- Surround Strategy of System Development

Environment are important strategy in overtake company case because information system from other company possible different with company at moment.

Generating Systems Alternatives

Strategy Options

Options is done before the design operational

Designing Operational Options

Options can be grouped into the design

1. Input

a. Online Vs Off Line Data Entry

b. Keyed Vs Machine Readable Data Entry

c. Centralized Vs Decentralized Data Entry

2. Processing

a. Batch Vs Realtime record update

b. Sequential Vs Direct Access to records

c. Single Vs Multiple User update of records

3. Output

a. Traditional Vs Turn Around Documents

b. Structured Vs Inquiry based reports

Selecting The Proper System

Compare tactics: systems based on the comparison of costs and benefits relative; There are 3 ways the system "A" said the system is superior to the other if :

- "A" has a cost lower than "B" and their profit same.

- "A" has a cost lower than "B" and "A" result in more profits from the "B"

- "A" and "B" have the same costs but the resulting benefit "A" more.

Several Comparative Method System

1. Break Even point Analyisis

2. Payback Period

3. Discounted PayBack period

4. Internal Rate of Return

Cost category

1. Hardware

2. Software

3. People

4. Suppliers

5. Teleccommunications

6. Physical sites

Cost details

Comparing the cost of information systems through the life of the system, analysts projected the cost changes for the future and there are 3 models cost information system, namely Linear, and exponentially Step Function.

Information system cost happen in one time and be able happen continuous.

- Cost information system that occur only once the cost ontime and development costs that occur during the development of the system.

- Cost information system that occur continuously among reccuring cost and operational cost where the cost of this is the case when the operating system information every day.

The Information System Factor

Qualitative factors that lead the performance information system that both of them:

1. Reduce errors

2. Reducing the time to fix errors

3. Reduce the response time from the workstation alternative

4. Accelerate the time of providing information

5. Improve security systems

6. Propagate update records on the source

7. Increasing user satisfaction

Company Strategy Factor

1. Customer satisfaction

2. Sales increased

3. Consumer and vendor commitment

4. Information marketing products

Representation Learning System

1. Make short presentations

2. Reduce the detail description techniques

3. represented clearly with visual tools

4. If using a model using a tool such as a laptop so that more informative

5. Emphasize the benefits of the proposed system with some alternative information that is

appropriate conditions experienced by the company.

Decision to continue or No

- If the company decided to develop the information system, the department will do next, namely the System Design Process.

- If then the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) will be terminated.

- Often the problem will be found with the system and the study and top management will usually ask for the re-employment system to study.

- 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.

- With the alternative, the decision to repeat a previous stage SDLC or not called Go - No-Go Decision.

Third Quiz




1. NEED DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

Development of the system may mean preparing a new system for replace

The old system or improve the overall system existing.

Need for Development of System:

• There is a problem (problem) that arise in the old system

The problems that arise can be:

· Irregularity

· Organizational growth

• To seize the opportunity (opportunities)

Information technology has developed so quickly

• The instructions (directives)

2 Destinion development systemat

Development means the system can arrange a new system to replace the old system as a whole or improve the existing system. The old system need to be replaced or repaired is because some things are as follows:

• The existence of the problems that arise in the old system. The problems that arise can be:

a. Irregularity

Irregularity in the old system caused the old system can’t operate in accordance with that expected. This irregularity may be operating inefficiently.

b. The growth of the organization

Growth of the organization must be the establishment of a new system. The growth of these organizations is the information needs of the area, the volume of data increases, changes in the new accounting principles.

To capture the opportunities
Organization began to feel that information technology should be used to improve the provision of information so that it can support in the decision making process that will be done by management. Competitive in the market, the efficiency or speed of information that is not to determine the success or strategy plan and that plan has been developed to seize the opportunities that exist. If competitors can utilize, while the company can not take advantage of this technology, the opportunity will fall caption competition.

• The instructions

Preparation of the new system can also occur because of instructions from the top leadership or from outside organizations, such as government regulations.

3. Expected on the new system

Has been developed with the new system, the expected increase will occur, the increase in the new system.

Performance

Improvement of the performance of the new system which will be most effective. Performance can be measured from the throughput and response time.

Information

Improving the quality of information presented.

Economy

Improvement of the benefits or the benefits or a decrease in the cost-reduction.

Control

Detect and fix errors that occur and will occur.

Efficiency

Improvement of operational efficiency.

Services

Improvement of the services provided by the system.

4. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

• The system is developed for management

• The system developed is a large capital investment

Investment capital should consider 2 things:

1. 1. All alternatives should be investigated

2. 2. Investment should be the best value

• System developed need educated people who

Stages of work and tasks that must be made in the development process system

• The development of the system does not have to order

• Do not be afraid to cancel the project

• Documentation must be available to guide in the development of the system

5. System development life cycle

Waterfall Model

Contains a series of activities such as the process has been described above and presented in a separate process, such as the requirement specification, design implementation software, testing . After each step is defined, this step in the sign off and followed the development in the next step.

The steps that are important in this model is

  • The analysis and specification

Services, goals and constraints resulting from consultation with users system. Then everything is made in the form that can be understood by users and staff developers.

  • Design systems and software

Divide the system design process needs to be system software or hardware. The process produces an overall system architecture. Design software, including the functions of system software that may be in the form of the transformation in one or more programs that can be run.

  • Implementation and unit testing

During this stage, the design software we realize as a complete program or program unit. Test units, including units that each test according to specification.

  • Integration and system testing

Unit tested and integrated into the system that the program can complete requirements for the software has been met. After testing, the system was delivered to the customer

  • Operation and maintenance

This phase is long. System installed and used. Maintenance, including correction of errors not found in the previous step. Improvements to the implementation of the system and increasing service needs of the new system as found.

RAD Model

  • Rapid Application Development
  • The development of s / w in sekuensial linier
  • adaptation do high speed, can be made in pace with the development approach component-based
  • If the data, clear analysis, and the scope of small
    the RAD can be used with both
  • Often also called a 'high speed version' of waterfall model,
  • Emphasis on development cycles a short
  • RAD approach to follow the following phases;
  • Business modeling, the flow of information from model with the function;
    information is affecting business, who appear, who is issue, the information I given, Who processing?
  • Data modeling; Part of the modeling business defined in a set of data objects.
  • The characteristics (attributes) of each object identified and related
  • The process of modeling, the object data will be implemented on the business functions.
  • Descriptions for the built additional modifications, deletion, or return the data object.
  • Data modeling; Part of the modeling business defined in a set of data objects.
  • The characteristics (attributes) of each object identified and related
  • The process of modeling, the object data will be implemented on the business functions.
  • Descriptions for the built additional modifications, deletion, or return the data object.
  • Application generation, Conducting re-use components that have (if possible)
  • Or make use of return components if required.
  • Testing / turnover, the RAD emphasizes the use of return and program components are ready to test

Weakness RAD

  • Model of the (project scale), resources requires good and solid
  • Requires commitment developer and the same user to be completed quickly accordance with the plan


Spiral model

Spiral model describes the process as a spiral which is divided into 4 quadrants:
process in accordance with the cycle using the prototyping approach.

• Planning
namely the duties to plan, gather for the alternative system that will have • Risk Analysis
is to evaluate the alternatives based on the objectives and constraints. Included here to identify the certainty and risk

• Engineering
that is a task that is required to build one or more statements of this section

• Customer Evaluation.
Re-evaluate the system that was created with the customer

6.System development approach

• A structured approach versus classical approach (seen from the methodology used)
• Piecemeal approach versus system approach (seen from the target to be achieved)
• The bottom-up approach versus
top-down approach (seen from how to determine the needs of the system)
• Total-system approach versus modular approach (seen from the way the developing)
• Great loop- approach versus
evolutionary approach approach (seen from the technology that will be used)

A structured approach versus classical opponent approach

Classical approach

• Stages in SDLC-stage
• not to include users, system analysts put more emphasis
• The problem: the development of hard, expensive treatment, the possibility of error, success is less assured, the problems in the implementation of

Structured approach

• User involvement from the beginning to determine the needs of the system
• Using tools-tools such as data flow diagrams

Piecemeal approach versus system approach

Piecemeal approach

• Emphasizing on an application or event
• don’t override the overall target

System approach

• Viewing the system as a whole is unity
• Emphasizing the achievement of overall objectives

Bottom-up approach versus top-down approach

Bottom-up approach

• Starting from the bottom level of the operational
• It is the characteristics of classical
• Known by the term data-analysis

Top-down approach

• Starting from the top-level strategy planning
• It is the characteristics of structured
• Also known to the decision-analysis

Total-system approach versus modular approach

Total-system approach

• Develop a system simultaneously and comprehensively
• It is the characteristics of classical approach

Modular approach

• break a complex system into parts of a simple
• System to be developed on time, easy to understand and kept
• It is the characteristics of structured

Great loop- approach versus evolutionary approach approach

great-loop approach approach

• Develop a system simultaneously using the advanced technology
• At risk and spend a lot of high cost

evolutionary approach approach

• Applying advanced technology for application-specific applications
• Developed for the needs
• Save the cost and can follow the development of technology

7. Methodology, method and algorithm

11. System analyst & programmer

Systems analyst is a person who analyzes the system with learning
problems that arise and determine the needs of users and
identify solutions that reasonless (better understand the aspects
business and computer technology).

Programmer who is writing code for an application program
based on a design made by the system analysts (better understand
computer technology).

Analysts duty system bridge the knowledge gap that occurs between the user and system programmers.

Knowledge that is required

• Technology data processing, computer programming and

• Knowledge of general business

• quantitative methods: regression, linier programming, etc.

• problem-solving expertise

• Skills of communication between personnel

• Expertise foster relationships between personnel

information system

Elementary concept system

System there are two approaches that is procedure and system, system is networks work from procedure approach System represent the more pressing job network at sequence operate for in the system

which each other in circuit, gathering with to do conduct an activity or to finish a certain target, in this case procedure is a n sequence operate for clerical, what usually entangle some people in, and applying to guarantee the business handling from transaction.

Components of System

In system there are component which is have interaction to with the meaning each other working along to form one unity, component- element or component of system form a n subsystem or part of system each; every sub of system have the nature of from system to run a n certain function of process of system by totally.

Definition of System

Definition of System represent definition an system with the other system or with external environment, definition of system this enable a n system in viewing as one unity.

External environment of system.

Environmental outside system is whatever reside in definition of system influencing operation of system, environmental outside system can take care of to profit and can take care of to harm, beneficial which can is energy of system and thereby have to taking care of, and external environment which harm have to in taking care of and controlled.

Link of system

Link of system represent link media between one system with the other system, output of subsystem will become input for the subsystem of the other through link.

Input of System

Input is result of from process of energy to become output which good for and rest of dismissal, output can in the form of input for other subsystem,

Processing of system

An system can have a[n part of processor to change input become output, a[n production system will process input in the form of raw material and other materials become output in the form of finished goods

Target of System

system have target and target if a system don't have the target of hence operation of system of no use, and target told to succeed the goal or target of system come real

Classification of System

System can be classified from some viewpoint, like:

1. Abstraction System

System Abstraction is the system that represent idea or mind which do not see physically, it’s a system which in the form of idea of relation between human being with the god

2. Natural System

Natural system is system that happened by natural process, for example system rotation of earth, system made by human is the system which designing by human

3. Certain System

Certain System operate with behavior which have earned predicts, so that output of system can forecasting, computer system is the certain system its behavior earn ascertaining pursuant to program which have running, indefinite system [is] system which condition of its future cannot predicting and content by probability element

4. Closed System

Closed System is the un relation system with the environment, this system working with automatically without

Elementary concept of information

less getting system of information will become cretin and finally end, source of from information is data, data represent plural form from is singular, data is fact depicting a[n occurrence and unity of reality, occurrence is something that happened at the time

Information is data which in processing to become more form good for and more meaning to accepting

Information cycle

Data represent form which still raw so that require to be processed by more processed data continued pass an model to be yielded information

Data processed to produce information use an certain model, for example data of temperature room they got is in set of Fahrenheit degree and this data enter in the form of less of berate to its ordinary receiver accept with set of Celsius degree, processed data become an receiver information model later; then accept the information, and make a n decision and conduct action , meaning to yield another action to make the amount of data return them. The data will

Catching as input and will be processed again pass a[n model and so on form a cycle,

Quality of from an information depended from three things that is information have to be accurate, punctual, and relevant

1. Accurate is information which must from mistake and cannot mislead, accurate also mean information be clear express its intention ;

2. On time is information which is data at receiver may not be tardy [of] information cause represent the basis for in decision making. When overdue decision making, hence can cause fatal for organization

3. Relevant [is] the information have benefit to wearing it. Information Relevance to everybody one with its different

Information System is an system in a organization bringing into contact requirement of processing of daily transaction, supporting operation, having the character of managerial and activity of strategy from an organization and provide certain outside party with needed report

Information value

Value Information determining from two matters, that is its opinion expense and benefit, Information will be valuable if big added significance of expense get it, however needing paying attention that information system is generally used for a few usefulness. To be more continue him most information cannot right across assessment assess its effectiveness
