Riordan services an array of customers, but their largest clients include: automotive parts and aircraft manufacturers, the Department of Defense, beverage makers and bottlers, and appliance manufacturers (Apollo Group Inc., 2003, 2004).
Application of the SDLC Methodology: Riordan Manufacturing The COO of Riordan Manufacturing, Hugh McCauley has voiced his concerns involving the current inventory and manufacturing processes throughout the organization. He would like to soon implement specific systems changes, which will improve these areas. Therefore, the company will utilize a new computer system in order to increase their efficiency. The introduction of the new computer system will be aided through the use of the SDLC process or Systems Development Life Cycle, consisting of five equally important phases: investigation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance and review. This process will allow for an organized approach, which will ultimately ease the transition for both management and staff. Furthermore, by utilizing SDLC, we can ensure that the system meets user requirements, is effective, and maintainable.
Planning Phase Without compromising organizational goals, the new computer system must have the ability to manage the receiving of raw materials, track the products during the manufacturing process, and account for the final inventories (Apollo Group Inc., 2003, 2004). Therefore,
