...Castle’s Family Restaurant: HR assessment Business assessment Castle’s Family Restaurant is a relatively small chain of eight restaurants in the Northern California area with approximately 300-340 employees. The restaurant is not a franchise and there is a single, joint HR/operations manager for all eight restaurants. The restaurants are casual businesses that are mainly designed to serve families for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They make a profit by serving a high volume of customers in a short period of time. The employees on the payroll include servers and cooks, managers, and other staff such as busboys and cleaning staff. Employees are 40% part time, and tend to be relatively short-term in their employment. Keeping a tight reign on unnecessary expenditures is necessary for Castle’s, like most enterprises in the hospitality industry. Profit margins are razor thin, particularly during slow times of the year. There is also the constant risk of spoilage of food, and the constant need to train new workers in a volatile, high-turnover employment sector. The schedule and total hours of workers change very quickly from week to week, depending on availability and also the time of year. Identified problems The cost of gasoline has been increasing nationwide, but in California it is particularly prohibitive. Because of the consolidated nature of HR, Jay Morgan, the operations and HR manager must travel a far distance. Doing payroll individually using an Excel spreadsheet...

...of these two fields into human resource information systems (HRIS). The history of the field of HRM and the impact of computer technology on HRM will be covered, as well as the advent of using a human resource information system and the subsequent effects on both HR and IT professionals. The different types of HR activities will be discussed as well as the different types of information systems used in HRIS. A central focus of this chapter is the use in managerial decision making of results and reports from an HRIS. The development of the HRIS field has been seen to have a significant impact on the emergence of strategic human resource management (Strategic HRM), as is discussed in this chapter. This first chapter will lay the groundwork for the remainder of this book, and, consequently, it is important to understand thoroughly the concepts and ideas it presents. This chapter contains definitions for a number of terms in common use in the HRM, IT, and HRIS fields. (Note that a glossary defining these terms is also provided at the back of this book.) The central themes 2 Chapter 1 Evolution of Human Resource Management and HRIS 3 of this book in terms of the development, implementation, and use of an HRIS will also be discussed.

Most of the employees are part time with approximately 40% of them full time. The Operations Manager, (Mr Jay Morgan), also acts as the HR manager and travels to each location every week to take care of scheduling, recruiting, hiring and answering questions for the employees as needed.

...Riordan Manufacturing HRIS Analysis University of Phoenix BSA/375 July 15, 2010 Riordan Manufacturing HRIS Analysis The ability to analyze and study the needs of an organization is an essential skill for a systems analyst. A systems analyst uses the concept of analysis and design to maintain and improve their information systems. The main goal of systems analysis and design is to improve organizational systems, typically through applying software that can help employees accomplish key business tasks more easily and efficiently (citation). The first steps that need to be taken in systems improvement are research and analyzing the scope and feasibility of a new project. Systems Analysis Approach The information-gathering technique and design method proposed for this project is the Rapid Application Development method, acronym RAD. The RAD methodology is a process in which research of user requirements is compiled before producing any detailed system design documents. Using this approach decreases the time needed to design and implement new systems. Factors of Successful Analysis The Rapid Application Development method incorporates using three different approaches of systems analysis. These sub-approaches are Prototyping, Computer-Assisted Software Engineering Tools, and Joint Application Design. By using the three different perspectives, RAD streamlines the entire systems analysis and design process. Prototyping Prototyping is the building...
