SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
This chapter focuses on the System Development Process. What System Development
Process Means, analysis of the current process which is used in the selected
organization, its problems, techniques, problem analysis, requirements analysis, system
design phase as well as its implementations and evaluations & etc.
3.1 SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:-
System Development Process is a set of activities, methods, best practices and
automated tools that are used to develop and continuously improve information
systems and software.
3.1.1 SYSTEM
§ A system is an orderly grouping of interdependent components linked together
according to a plan to achieve a specific objective. Its main characteristics are
organization, interaction, interdependence, integration and a central objective.
§ It is an entity which consists of interdependent parts so that system theory is
concerned with the attributes and relationships of these interacting parts.
§ A definition which applies to business systems is a collection of men, machines
and methods organized to accomplish a set of specific functions.
§ Any group of components (functions, people, activities, events, and so on) that
interface with and complement one another to achieve one or more predefined
goals.
§ A system is a set of interrelated elements that collectively work together to
achieve some common purpose or goal.
§ The term system is derived form the Greek word systems, which means an
organized relationship among functioning units or components exists because it
is designed to achieve one or more objectives.
§ A regular or orderly arrangement of components or parts in a connected and
interrelated series or whole; a series or group of components necessary to some
operation.
3.1.2 INFORMATION SYSTEM
3.2 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION & PROBLEM ANALYSIS
In the TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES Inquiry of limited scope undertaken to
verify whether or not an allegation merits further inquiry as a full investigation.
If we conclude that the idea is interesting, on the basis of the initial material in the
TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES, we will initiate a more thorough analysis in
order to provide the best basis for a decision about a possible investment. Such
preliminary investigation comprises, among other things:
§ Examination of novelty in patent and scientific literature
§ Technical analysis
§ Marketing analysis
§ Evaluation of development costs
§ Identification of business partners
§ Need for additional expertise
§ Definition of business goals company or sale of rights
§ Preparation of plans and budgets for an initial project, if appropriate.
We discuss the outcome of the preliminary investigation in the TOYO NASIC TARIQ
GLASS INDUSTRIES and decide whether idea has the potential or should be sold to a
third party. If so, we proceed with the so-called initial project within the framework.
3.2.1 OBJECTIVE OF PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION:

§ Easy maintains of Data
§ Reducing the extra manpower and overhead work.
3.2.3 CONSTRAINS:
§ As the current system is completely manual, making it automated need lot of
time by realizing the existing system. The time limitation is one of the greatest
problems in this regard.
§ The system will process lots of transaction. So the calculation part must be
reliable as much as possible.
§ In this organization, there are so many senior employee, who are not familiar
with computerized system and they are not interested to develop a
computerized system.
§ Most of the employee does not have good knowledge about computer. That’s
why some of there expectations are unrealistic.
3.2.4 EXISTING MIS SETUP:
The MIS setup which is currently used in TOYO NASIC is summarized in this figure
below:
3.2.5 CRITICAL ANALYSIS:

start when a manager and other functional areas personal feel that the current system is
outdated and not meeting the new trends of automation and era specifications.
Preliminary investigation is conducted when manager and other users submit the
request to the MIS department for new system and then such task is assigned to the
analyst to make a preliminary investigation.
3.2.5.1 EXISTING SYSTEM
Currently a simple database system in Visual FoxPro is working in the MIS
Department of TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES, which handle accounts
department and store department. I apply the business intelligence rules on this
database by creating a data warehouse for the existing data. The production department
of appliances division is handled manually and there is computerized database
management system for the department. Therefore, there is problem in handling the
data and quality check.
3.2.5.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

3.3 REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS PHASE:-
The development of a solid foundation is the key to implementing a successful system.
A well-designed system maintains flexibility to accommodate new technologies and
changing user needs over time.
This approach puts significant emphasis of TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES on
understanding and interpreting the user needs and then carefully managing those needs
with management perspective and budgetary requirements.
Login
Define the system's functional architecture in terms of the operations / events that must
be performed in order to meet the mission goals of the system. This proceeds in a topdown
hierarchical nature and is independent of allocation to hardware, software, or
humans. The goal of the function analysis is to assist in defining and allocating
functions to the human that are best suited to their capabilities and limitations.

3.3.2 EXISTING SYSTEM’S REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS
Requirements analysis beings when management of the TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS
INDUSTRIES LIMITED decides to continue developing the new system on the report of
the analyst. In requirements analysis phase of development of the new proposed
system, traditional approach focusing is on the determining user needs, studying the
application area in depth, assessing the strength and weaknesses of the current system
and work methods and reporting results to the management.
3.4 FEASIBILITY STUDY:
3.4.1 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
In this report, I shall provide the solution to the running system of the organization
named as TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED. This system uses the data
warehousing techniques and models.
A periodic reporting system on the basis of previous data to higher management will
also be a part of the system, which will helpful to them in strategic decision-making. I
have the basic knowledge of Dot NET framework but advance technologies of database
i.e. OLAP, Data warehousing, Data mining and BI are explored and worked on during
the internship progress.
3.4.2 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
In the project all the database technologies regarding Business intelligence and frontend
development will explore and implemented:
STEP 1: OLTP
§ Analysis of Store department
§ Design of Store department
§ Implementation of Store department
STEP 2: OLAP & DATA WAREHOUSING
§ Analysis of Store department
§ Design of Store department
§ Implementation of Store department
STEP 3: BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (USING .NET)
§ Analysis of Store department
§ Design of Store department
§ Implementation of Store department
§ Testing and deployment of BI system
3.4.3 ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY
The main concern here is on the system of the MIS Department of TOYO NASIC
TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED. B y going computerized, TOYO NASIC can
achieve more reliability and accuracy.
A. MAINTAINABILITY
Since I am using .Net Technology therefore it is easy to maintain the whole system
whenever required.
B. COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Economic feasibility has been defined as a cost benefit analysis. How do you estimate
the costs and benefits? And how do you compare those costs and benefits to determine
economic feasibility?
C. COSTS FOR DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM
The cost for developing the information system can be classified according to the
phase in which they occur. Systesm development costs are usually applied once.
D. COSTS FOR OPERATING THE SYSTEM
These costs may be fixed (after regular interval but have relatively fixed rates or one
time costs & variable costs occur in proportion to some usage).
3.4.4 SCHEDULED FEASIBILITY
However the scope is flexible and can be extended. Because it is an industrial project
and TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED is such a large company, which
has many departments where we can also implement Business Systems. But we will
meet all the basic requirements of BS in store and production from which a further
useful work is continuing able.
3.5 SYSTEM DESIGN PHASE:-
System design represents how a proposed information system will meet the
information needs of the users, including logical and physical design activities, user
interface, data and process design activities that produce system specifications satisfy
the customer requirements in the system analysis stage.
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED designing phase begins, the
analyst and system development team determines how manual software & hardware
components will perform at logical and physical levels in each of the following areas:
§ Output Requirements.
§ Input requirements.
§ Processing Requirements.
§ Storage Requirements.
§ Procedure Requirements.
§ Personnel Requirements.
3.5.1 RISK ANALYSIS
In developing new projects it is common that risks or uncertainties always exist,
especially in the development of industrial type projects. Our mission is to minimize
the risks up to a possible limit in TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED.
Principal sources of risks include random variations in components and subsystem
performance, inaccurate or inadequate data, wrong information about work flow of
organization, integrity rules, problems in schemas and the inability to forecast things
about project development due to lack of prior experience.
3.5.2 SYSTEM DESIGN:-
Organizations may develop a system in many ways. One single ideal system
methodology is not working properly in all situations. Because some approaches are
better suite for developing small systems then large ones. During my internship in
TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the prototyping approach was used.
Basically TOYO NASIC INFORMATION SYSTEM is small in nature due to the expansion
of its business plant, now they needs medium sized Information System which will
develop soon. The MIS Director of TOYO NASIC says, because the company is not in
such a position to develop a system at once so they use Prototyping approach and the
required modifications are made when required. The main benefit of Prototyping
Approach is that you can develop appropriate system in short time without bear heavy
expense. However the main motive of all good approaches is that,
§ High level of interaction with user’s involvement throughout the development
process.
§ Conscientious attempts to minimize development time and costs.
§ A loyal concern for improving system quality.
§ The use of rigorous and disciplined approach to system development.
§ Production of complete and perfect design specification and documentation.
§ Implementation of system that satisfies the user requirements and is easy to
maintain.
If any one keep in such issues for the development or modification of system ensure
that it reach in its goals.
3.5.3 GUIDELINES FOR IDEAL MIS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:-
The main and basic purpose of the Management Information System is to collate,
summarize and present data / information accurately that enables the managers to the
company to control its operations efficiently.
In the perspective of data gathering the ideal Management Information System has five
layers.
3.5.3.1 DATA SOURCES:
Data sources provide the three main sets of data to be considered.
A. OPERATIONAL:
This provides the actual values of the metrics that you measure to determine the
success of your business.
B. BUDGETS:
Represents short term estimates of the future values of the metrics.
C. FORECASTS:
Represents short term estimates of the future values of the metrics.
3.5.3.2 METRICS.
Define the things that you will measure to monitor the performance of your company.
The values you collect for operations, budget and forecasts provide the raw metric for
the analysis layer of your MIS.
3.5.3.3 ANALYSIS.
Defines how you will transform the raw metric data before presenting it to your
company’s employees. Employees at the lower levels of management in your company
are likely to need access to small subsets of the raw metric data that pertain to their
specific duties. As you move up through the management levels you will need to
summarize a wider range of metric data.
3.5.3.4 PRESENTATION.
Defines how you will present the transformed data to your company’s employees. Most
employees will need a simple dashboard that reflects the scope of their duties. The
dashboard should provide an easy to read display of the values of the key performance
indicators (KPI) for that person. It should be possible for the person to drill down
through any KPI to see the underlying data that determined the displayed value.
3.5.3.5 CONTROL.
Control provides the mechanism by which the employees of the company attempt to
manage the values of the KPLs.
Metric analysis component that provides templates and wizards to help you with the
following:
METRICS:
§ Defining the metrics that will help you measure the operational performance of
your company.

3.5.6 DESIGNING SYSTEM OUTPUTS:-
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED six important factors are
considered in Designing System Output.
§ Content.
§ Form.
§ Timelines
§ Media.
§ Format.
3.5.6.1 CONTENT:
Content refers to the actual pieces of data included among outputs provided to users.
System designers generally put too much content into managerial reports instead of too
little. Too much content can waste a lot of time of the managers by making then isolate
from the information that they need, it also diminishes the impact of truly important
information.
3.5.6.2 FORM:
Form refers to the way that content is presented to the users. Content can be presented
in various forms “quantitative” and “non-quantitative”, text, graphics, audio and video.
The reason behind is that managers prefer to the summary and detailed information in
relative rather than absolute form or in charts from such as pie charts, pie lines or bar
charts.
3.5.6.3 VOLUME:
The term volume is commonly used in technology t measure the amount of activity
taking place at a given time. The amount of data output required at any one time is
known as output volume. Heavy volume often suggest a fast frequently used output
device such as a high speed printer or a rapid retrieval display unit.
3.5.6.4 TIMELINES:
Timelines refers to when users needs outputs. Some outputs are required on regular,
periodic basis (weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually). Manager requires the out put
& get it when they need.
3.5.6.5 MEDIA:
Input output media refers to the physical substance or device used for:
§ Inputs.
§ Storage.
§ Outputs.
Output media choices include Paper, Video, Microfilms, Tape, Disk and Voice.
3.5.6.6 FORMAT:
The method or manner in which data are physically arranged is called a format. Such
arrangements are called output format when referring to data output on printed report
or on a display screen.
3.5.7 DESIGNING SYSTEM INPUTS:-
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED five important factors are
considered in Designing System input.
§ Content.
§ Timelines
§ Media.
§ Format.
§ Volume
3.5.7.1 CONTENT:
Firstly the analyst considers the types of data that need to be gathered to generate user
inputs. This is a complicated process because new proposed system means the new
information and the new information often requires new source of data, which can be
expensive. Sometimes the data needed for new proposed system are not available
within the organization but a close substitute might be.
3.5.7.2 TIMELINES:
Exactly when inputs are entered the system is critical because outputs cannot be
produced until certain inputs are available. So a plan is established regarding different
types of inputs entering the system. Timing logistics are usually most complex in
transaction processing and information reporting system.
3.5.7.3 MEDIA:
Another most important input consideration includes the choices of input media and
subsequently, the device on which to enter the data. Such user input alternatives
includes:
§ Workstations.
§ Magnetic Disks.
§ Keyboards.
§ Pen Based Computers.
§ And Voice.
3.5.7.4 FORMAT:
After the data content and the media requirements are determined, input formats are
considered. When specifying record formats the type and length of each data field, as
well as any other special characteristics are defined and avoid any error.
3.5.7.5 VOLUME:
Input volume refers to the amount of data that is entered in the computer system at any
time. And it is also considered important to determine the size of the input volume such
as light or heavy.
3.5.8 ENTITY RELATION DIAGRAMS
ER Model consists of 31 tables. Here 14 tables are shown in figure below
Here other 12 tables shown from the ER Model
Last 4 tables of ER Model are viewing in this figure
3.5.9 DETERMINING PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS:-
In this phase the project team decides which types of application software products are
needed and consequently which of the degree of processing the system needs to be
handled. This leads the system developers to decision regarding the system software
and computer hardware that most effectively get output for users.
3.5.9.1 APPLICATION SOFTWARE:
Application software’s are the programs that specify the information processing
activities required for the completion of specific tasks of computer users. The analyst
of the output and input usually suggests numerous processing requirements for
application software. These requirements normally address such issues as the basic
functions and capabilities that the software must possess. In TOYO NASIC TARIQ
GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED application software’s are developed according to the
organizations transaction activities, mostly the medium size information system is
developed.
3.5.10 DETERMINING STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:-
In the specification of storage requirements, accessing and organizing data are
considered. We also discuss need storage capacity and physical storage media options
which are identified.
§ Access the Organization.
§ Storage Volume.
§ Media.
3.5.10.1 ACCESS THE ORGANIZATION:
In this phase TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED project team
determines in what way the users will need access stored data sequentially, directly or
both. User access requirements then help determine appropriate data and file
organization methods. In some cases online order or billing require only sequential
access. Mostly business data are organized logically into records. However physical
data placement both file oriented and data processing methods are also organized
sequentially.
3.5.10.2 STORAGE VOLUME:
Storage volume relates t the aggregate of the:
§ Number of Data.
§ Records.
§ Strengths.
§ Sets.
§ Or all such matters are accessible to the users at any time.
Generally system developers determine the total bytes required for the number of
records expected to be stored that byte requirement is double or triple to arrive at total
secondary storage requirements.
3.5.10.3 MEDIA:
Finally the system developers determine the storage media according to the size of
transaction which are as follows:
§ Diskette.
§ Hard Drive.
§ Tape.
§ Optical Disk / USB etc.
Normally for huge volume data storage the media optical disk is more feasible for ruse.
But in TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the hard drive is used for the
data storage.
3.5.11 DEVELOPING PROCEDURE FOR USING SYSTEM:-
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the system design is incomplete
until the procedures for using the system are finished. We define the procedure in this
way “A procedure is set of rules” procedure fall into two major categories:
§ Work Procedure.
§ Control Procedure.
3.5.11.1 WORK PROCEDURE:
This complies several procedures / ways under which it is inducted as the work should
be performed. These are call work procedures.
3.5.11.2 CONTROL PROCEDURE:
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED control procedure indicates how
work should be controlled. In computerized information system several controls must
be implemented to ensure the secrecy and security and accuracy of the data.
§ SECURITY CONTROL:-
Security control ensuring to eliminate the risk of unauthorized access of data, for
eliminating such risk we use the password, protection, mechanism etc.
§ ACCURACY CONTROL:-
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED computer information system
used the audit trail for the accuracy of the data so that accurate complete information is
stored. Audit is used to certify both the correctness of account balances and adherence
to a set of procedures or standards. Audit trails are used to trace the computer system
outputs back to original source documents.
§ PRIVACY CONTROL:-
Regarding technology, privacy control ensures the protection of people’s rights
regarding how information about them is suppressed or used.
3.5.12 DETERMINE PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS:-
In this phase we discuss personal specification for the personnel involve:
§ Work Description.
§ Personal Qualification.
§ Training.
3.5.12.1 WORK DESCRIPTION:
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the most critical personal related
specification involves the work that people perform during their job. Total business
operations are divided into well defined goals and then those tasks are combined into
job. Each job must be feasible from the organization point of view as well as
responsible in accordance with the individual’s capabilities.
3.5.12.2 QUALIFICATIONS:
When jobs are defined qualification is another taster for individual who fill those jobs.
For example, for the post of data entry operator the keyboard skill is necessary, etc.
3.5.12.3 TRAINING:
Training of the personnel is a major ongoing cost that is considered when the system is
being designed. For the new system software and hardware the training of the personal
is done for the purpose of getting desired results from the software.
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT APPROACH FOR SYSTEM DESIGN &
IMPLEMENTATION:-
PROTOTYPING APPROACH FOR SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:-
3.6 END USER DEVELOPMENT:-
With the increase availability of low cost technology, end user end user development
on of them. In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the end user
development, it is the end user not the computer professional who is responsible for
systems development. The number and nature of systems development activities
followed by the end user often differ from those found in more formal approaches.
Three way in which end user development might be implemented, “Traditional
Approach”, “Prototyping” and an intuitive approach”.
3.6.1 FAVORING CIRCUMSTANCES OF PROTOTYPE APPROACH:
A system under development is local rather than enterprise wide.
§ The system under development is inexpensive.
§ A suitable environment of end user development tools and professional
expertise is available.
§ Standards exist to maximize divergent efforts by the end users and other danger
to the organization.
§ High levels of security are not necessary for the system being developed.
§ The system under development involves numerous customized queries and
reports.
§ The system under development can easily be built and supported by the end
user.
§ The system under development does not involve high volume transaction
processing.
§ The development time is short and cannot be accommodated by the MIS
department.
§ The user must be heavily involved in the development process.
3.6.2 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION:
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED after data gathering and choosing
the hardware, software and services necessary to operate the system, the system
implementation phase of development begins. Implementation phase consists of the
following activities:
§ Scheduling.
§ Program Coding, Debugging and Testing.
§ Training.
§ Conversion.
3.6.2.1 SCHEDULING:-
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED to ensure that the system will
work by a certain date the analyst must prepare an implementation timetable. In this
time table, all the activities are desirable as how the implementation must start and
finished.
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED a detailed implementation
timetable is often essential to develop management confidence in the installation plan
and to ensure uninterrupted operations during the implementation period.
3.6.2.2 PROGRAM CODING, DEBUGGING AND TESTING:-
PROGRAM CODING. Coding is the process of writing that can run the computer
Hardware.
CODING & DESIGN TOOLS. Three coding and design tools are widely recognized as
potentially making programmers more productive are:
I. Structure Programming Techniques.
II. Software Prototype.
III. Object Oriented Programming.
I. STRUCTURE PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES.
“A set of program design and coding tools developed throughout in 1970 which
provide programmers with a well defined and familiar set of structure.”
Using structure techniques, programs can be written in a systematic, standard style,
thereby reducing development time and errors plus making programs more
maintainable.
II. SOFTWARE PROTOTYPE.
The quickly coded 4GL program is called prototype software. The 4Gl product that
facilitates creation of software prototypes is an application generator. Application
generators and software prototypes are useful when users are not exactly sure what
they want and what time is a limiting factor in software development.
III. OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING.
An object oriented programming used to developed programs that create and use
objects to perform information processing tasks.
PROGRAM DEBUGGING. Debugging is a methodical process of finding and reducing the
number of bugs, or defects, in a computer program or a piece of electronic hardware
thus making it behave as expected. Debugging tends to be harder when various
subsystems are tightly coupled, as changes in one may cause bugs to emerge in
another.
PROGRAM TESTING. Testing (sometimes called compliance testing) is that part of an
internal control review which assesses whether actual practice follows, or complies
with, prescribed policies and procedures. The assessment is made by interviewing or
observing staff, following a transaction through the process, or sampling
documentation of transactions to determine if required steps are executed.
3.6.2.3 TRAINING:
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED meteorology, training is when a
successive series of showers or thunderstorms moves repeatedly over the same area,
usually causing some form of flooding, especially flash floods. Often, this happens
when a line of rain or storms forms along a stationary front, and moves down the
length of the front, while the front is stalled. It is named so because this is similar to the
way train cars move down a track in a line, over and over the same point, without the
track moving.
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED with the burst of activity in end
user computing and the appearance of new tools for computer professional, training is
becoming a major component of implementation sector.
The main object of training is that the users are well known to operate the program
according to the specification.
3.6.2.4 CONVERSION:
The initial operation of a new computer based system can be a difficult task. Such
operation is usually a conversion process in which the Hardware, Software, People,
Network and data Resources of an old information system must be converted to the
requirements of a new information system. This usually involves a Parallel, Phased,
Pilot or Plunge conversion process from the old to new system. Four major forms of
conversion are as follows:
I. Parallel Conversion.
II. Phased Conversion.
III. Pilot Conversion.
IV. Plunge or Direct Cutover.
I. PARALLEL CONVERSION.
Conversion can be done on a Parallel basis, whereby the old and new system are
operated until the project development team and end user management agree to switch
completely over to the new system. During this time the operation and result of both
systems are compared and evaluated. Errors can be identified and corrected and the
operating problems can be solved before the old system is abandoned.
II. PHASED CONVERSION.
The phase conversion can be allows a gradual implementation processes to take place
with an organization.
III. PILOT CONVERSION.
In pilot conversion where one department or other serves as test site. A new system can
be tried out at this site until developers feel it can be implemented throughout the
organization.
IV. PLUNGE OR DIRECT CONVERSION.
The installation of the new system can be accomplishes by a direct cutover plunge to
the new developed system.
3.7 SYSTEM EVALUATION:-
In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the performance and worth of the
MIS department is assessed in the following ways:
3.7.1 PERIODIC PERFORMANCE REPORTS:
Periodic reports describes how much the MIS department performed with respect to staying
within planned spending limits.
3.7.1.1 USER SURVEY:
The user surveys such as questioner and interviews indicate about the performance of the MIS
department. So in this way head of the department knows about the feed back of the system.
And if any problem is found he tries to resolve it.
3.7.1.2 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE:
The main object of the system performance is that is the workstation working properly or not?
Is the system performing task or not? If not, then remedial action is taken to victory.
3.7.1.3 EARLY WARNING SIGNALS:
Early warning signals means that some thing is seriously wrong. In this way the MIS staff
evaluates the system & removes the miss-happening / errors on the spot.
3.7.1.4 OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS:
If MIS is performing in commensurate plan it means the system is running effectively.

increase its sales volume.
TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED has still some short falls in its
system. The Managing Director of the firm is determined to overcome such short
comes and develop the organization as MODEL ORGANIZATION. Employees
believe that management takes action in span time for job satisfaction. The channel of
the communication and other information are not followed properly by different
departments which is the main cause of reducing the end user’s productivity.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Following are the suggestions to further enhance and update the quality of the MIS
department of TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED.
§ The immediate need is to modify or develop the new system as per demand of
the time so that further requirements are met accordingly.
§ Made the system easy and end user friendly.

§ Increase the latest Pc’s on the job.
§ Recruit new and trained employees to decrease the work load on current
employees.
§ Proper maintenance of the system.
§ Use the high speed technology which is basic need of a good information
system.
§ The staff must be properly trained and skilled. Secondly, the right person
should be put to the right job so that the customer may be satisfied with the
conduct and performance of the staff.
§ Appointment on key post should not be made on political basis because people
appointed in this way are not only capricious minded but they also cast bad
reflection upon the reputation of the organization.
§ Maximum incentive in the form of profit and counter services should be offered
to the customers. Consequently, such incentives would bring more and more
business in return.
§ Customer satisfied with the counter service proves an asset to the organization.
Therefore, utmost care should be taken while dealing with the customers at the
counter. The staff at the counter must be highly skilled and trained according to
the changing trends of the world.
§ Fair appraisal system must be introduced. Equality appeals to everyone while
injustice discourages every qualified, hardworking and conscientious employee.
§ Every eligible employee should be rewarded according to his merit. All the
above suggestions will earn a good reputation and goodwill for the
organization.
