· INVESTIGATION SYSTEM CONCEPT
There is a gap discrepancy between the purpose of the system and the system real condition. That mean, that is possible our system condition cannot support our system’s purpose. One of the causes is the problem detection report is not real, there are some detections that not mentioned in the report. That makes our system developers can’t reach the purpose in appropriate. The others of causes are:
1. The purpose is to ideal.
2. Less of resources.
3. System measuring not to accurate.
4. The old system purpose.
5. The different between Ideal system and temporary system.
To solve that problem we can used the Investigation System concept. The problems solving are:
1. The reduction of the running system, to reduce the running system we used the detail investigation.
2. Get the ideal system consensus.
3. Developing some alternative.
4. Choose the best alternative.
Why we doing the investigation to solving the problem? That’s because the purpose of the investigation is to show the real problems that happen in our system.
· PROBLEMS IN THE SYSTEM INVESTIGATION
In the implementation of the system investigation, there are also some problems in the investigation. The problems are:
1. Time
2. Cost
3. Science
4. Politic
5. Involved from the outsider
· RECOMMENDATION
After we do the investigation, we get the recommendation. The content of that recommendation are:
1. Not doing any action. In the case the investigation not found any problems.
2. Do the system maintenance. In the case there are some small problems.
3. Upgrade user skill and competency.
4. Considering total system modification.
5. Moving the problem into the developing system plan, that will do soon.
· INVESTIGATION TACTICS
To do the investigation we need the tactics. We need tactics so we can found the all of the problems, also we can know the causes of that problem, so we can choose the appropriate solution to solve the problem. We must do that tactics so that the all system element can accept the problem solving without disturb their activities.
There are some tactics that can do for the investigation. There are:
1. Listening to de system performer.
2. Do not give the early solution.
3. Comparing system user stories about the same case.
4. Attention to the logical inconsistency problem.
· INVESTIGATION TECHNIQUE
There are some techniques to do the investigation. The techniques are:
1. Direct techniques
a. Questioner.
b. Question and Answer.
c. Observation.
2. Indirect techniques
a. Procedure flow.
b. Document learning.
c. Sample
d. Tabular
After that we can get the system description in this time:
a. Input,
b. Output,
c. File,
d. Data Element,
e. Transaction Volume and Action Document,
f. Data Flow Diagram.
· ANALYSIS NECCESARY
In the analysis necessary there is an intensive interaction step between system analyst and end user that the system developing team show their skill to get the user response and trust so get the good participation.
1. 4 purposes that want to reach :
a. Explain the complete system.
b. Description the ideal information system.
c. Bring the ideal information system into the real condition, also consider the resource problem.
d. Giving support to the user trust into the system developing.
2. The Metode:
a. Question and Answer,
b. Questioner,
c. Observation,
d. Analysis procedure,
e. Documentation observation.
3. Resource problem
a. Time
b. Money
c. Skill
d. Technology
e. External Factor
4. Analysis necessary document:
a. Analysis guide: Relationship with end user, process observation, problem and file collecting.
b. User necessary: Real necessary, Report necessary, Training necessary, and new system effect.
c. System Problem: explain time and money, skill, technology, and external factor problem.
d. Document in shape like file collecting instrument, statistic consensus, logical and physical data flow, first file element in the file dictionary.
· GENERATING SYSTEMS ALTERNATIVES
There are some ways to connect the system condition at this time with the ideal system condition:
a. Make the alternative to solve the information system problem.
b. The best alternative implemented in wise.
For generating system alternatives there are some strategies that can used. The strategies are:
1. Distributed versus centralized processing
The change of the information decision from the centralized data processing into decentralized end user responsibility center.
2. Integrated versus dispersed database
System designing must considering what kind of data that can move into database and into file.
3. Surround Strategy of System Development
It’s important in the case of company takeover because another company information system is different with the company right now.
Tactic choice can do it before the operational design. For the operational design choice it divided into:
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
For selecting the proper system we must compare the system based the cost and profit in relative. There are 3 ways we can say system A more superior than the other
a. A low cost than B and the profit of A & B are equal.
b. A low cost than B and A have more profit than B.
c. A dan B mempunyai biaya sama namun keuntungan yang dihasilkan A lebih banyak.
For the system compare there are some methods:
a. Break Even point Analyisis
b. Payback Period
c. Discounted PayBack period
d. Internal Rate of Return
We also talk about the cost detail; it means we compare the information system cost trough the system live, analyst projecting some cost changes for the future. There are 3 information system cost, Linear, Exponential, Step Function.
The information cost can happen once and also can happen in continuous. The information systems that happen in once are onetime cost and development cost that happen in the developing system. The information systems that happen in continuous are recurring cost and operational cost that happen when information system operated everyday.
· INFORMATION SYSTEM FACTOR
Qualitative factor that show the good system work are:
a. Decrease the error
b. Decrease time for fix the error
c. Decrease response time from workstation alternative
d. Make faster the information willing
e. Increase the system security
f. More active resource record update
g. Increase the user satisfying
Company Strategies Factor is:
a. Consumer satisfying
b. Increase the sale
c. Consumer and vendor commitment
d. Product marketing information
· CONTINUE OR NOT DECISION
a. 1. If the company decides to develop the system, the information development will do the next process, its System Design process.
b. 2. In the other way, the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) will stop.
c. 3. It will find some problem in study system and usually the top management will request reworking of the study system.
d. 4. The model will explain part of the step that loops and sometimes information dept. will make decision to restart the early step before it explains the study system.
e. 5. With alternative, decision for restarting early step of SDLC or not called Go – No –Go Decision.
