Riordan Manufacturing produces numerous plastic products, which serve the needs of various companies around the globe. The Albany, Georgia location produces plastic bottles made to hold beverages. The location in Pontiac, Michigan produces various plastic parts that are needed by different companies, while the division in Hangzhou, China produces plastic parts for fans. With their growing business comes a need to implement software that can excel in the fast-paced, technology-driven society we live in. The current human resources information system keeps track of personal information, such as, name, address, marital status, birthday, and more. The system also tracks pay rate, personal exemptions (for tax purposes), hire date, seniority date, organizational information, and vacation hours.
Riordan Manufacturing Incorporated’s Chief Operations Officer, Hugh McCauley, has requested the company implement a state-of-the-art information system. This system must integrate all existing human resource tools and various software into one single robust application. The system must also be completed within a timeframe of six months. In order to achieve this goal, the company must conduct an extensive amount of research to ensure the highest possible quality product will be delivered.
When conducting this research, various stakeholders must help provide feedback about their observations within the company. No one knows more about the company than people who actually work within the confines of its walls. The people placed in charge of running various departments can help to centralize their needs and requirements in order to the project underway.
