...In order to maintain all of the companies success, Riordan Manufacturing has put in place multiple business systems that will allow their company to periodically improve their efficiency and effectiveness within their operations. Innovative business systems such as the ones currently in place in the human resources and legal departments are the primary reason why the business has remained successful for so many years. These departments are an important part of Riordan’s operations and contribute to the company’s overall ability to its production methods. Our analysis of these departmental systems and sub-systems will show those areas that are working in a positive matter and the areas that are in need of some process improvement and will discuss the risks and positives associated with them. Riordan’s current management team is made up of several key support system areas with the primary responsibility of gathering data for company day to day functions. These key support systems are as follows: accounting, receiving clerk, area supervisor, inventory clerk and lastly sales department. Receiving area supervisors make individual comparisons using each one of the daily reports after they have been passed to the related department each week. The reports are then organized by date for any raw materials delivered by the receiving clerk in charge of receiving. Then they become an inventory tool that is used to compare all incoming orders against the scheduled deliveries and their inventories...

...Business and Technical Requirements of the Security Awareness Program Many years ago, I was enlisted to take part in a total migration within the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice had a need for upgrading their network infrastructure because various departments used unsecure means for discussing secure topics. I also had the opportunity to work with an outstanding Project Manager with more than 20 years’ experience, and under his wing I learned early on about “keeping the stakeholders informed.” One of the initial tasks were to understand the needs of the stakeholder and collect data from during the one-on-one meetings. “One way to keep stakeholders focused is by prioritizing requirements with the constraints of time, quality, and budget” (Gale, 2013, p. 48). Therefore, developing and defining the mission of the project had to be established, so all concerned parties (stakeholders) are informed and answered all questions thoroughly. “Stakeholder interviews help get personal, in-depth analysis about requirements” (Gale, 2013, p. 48). After careful review of the stakeholder requirements for the new technological upgrades, the big concern was security on all levels to overcome as the weekly reading discussed security fatigue and avenues not to follow. For example, the first step is to keep management abreast of any changes, and second don’t cry wolf. “Thirdly, it helps to place a realistic quantification on your projections” (Lacey, 2009, p. 256). Training was...

It serves as a “contract” between you and your client on the scope, schedule & expected outcome of your project. A BRD contains seven sections. I.

Revision history: Simply a table with the following columns: Version# (0.1, 0.2…), Date of revision, Responsibility (Author), Description. I assume that you will have only one version given the short time available, which is fine. B.

...Business Communication Trends Crystal Schultz XCOM/285 December 7, 2014 Janet Waldron Companies are changing everyday due to business trends. There are currently ten business trends. These range from technology to balancing work and families. The main priority for any company is to grow and gain strength. This is done by providing both employees and customers what is needed to be successful. Most employees have families so they need job flexibility. There are now regulations that need to be met concerning diversity in the work place. Then there are the things that are required of employees. The ability to work in a team environment is one of those requirements. Most companies are following one of these trends. Technology plays a huge role in my daily business communication. I am required to contact clients by phone and email every day. There is often times that require that I call for a follow up and then have to e-mails that were lost or misunderstood. Before the technology advancements I would have to write purchase orders and invoices to mail the customer or client. It took longer to receive payment and when there was a problem it took double the time. I am now able to call to ensure the customer received the products and allow them to submit a payment. This also allows the time to do extra work daily. When I get to the office in the morning I will respond to any e-mails we received then move on to sending out new invoices that are due payment.
