...C) underwriting department. They've discussed the expert system with President Bill Hayes, CFO Hal Atkins, and other members of the capital expense committee and for the most part felt it would be approved, however some members of the CEC, including Bill Hayes, are leaning against the expert system project. After much discussion, it boiled down to putting together some fancy slides of the data to show how expert systems make fewer mistakes than human experts and how much time it takes to process an application with and without the system. The expert systems proposal is intended to make a fundamental change in the way the company does business, but it is being presented and judged as an information technology project. Only the line organizations can justify investing in the expert systems proposal by projecting improvements in their operating performance, and they do not appear to be partners in the proposal. The mere thought of Integrating the various expert system into existing databases and other systems will be problematic, and agents will face chaos rather than a single interface when they are trying to give customers quotes.

...Developing Project Proposals – Internet Exercises Part One: Based on the results of your search, find a sample proposal that has been posted on the Web. What Company or organization developed the proposal, and what objective was it trying to accomplish? The sample project proposal I found from the web was for server replacement (Proposal example, 2013). It was developed by ITHACA College as sample project proposal for Cheezewiz application. Cheezewiz is used by the Rodent students of the Ithaca College to support its research and teaching activities. Cheezewiz is one of the leading applications also used in the private field and it’s developed by Cheezewiz Authorities Inc. The Objective of this proposal is to clarify the project purpose and to gain approval to proceed towards developing the Project Charter. Their objective was clearly mentioned in the purpose and justification section of the proposal. Part Two: Evaluate the effectiveness of this proposal based on information you have studied in this chapter. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal. Are there any items missing from the proposal that should have been included? The author mentioned in the book (Gido, 2009) that developing a proposal for a larger company should be treated as project in itself. If the proposal is for large technical projects, it would be multivolume documents and it includes three sections such as technical, management and cost. The sample proposal I chose is not for large technical...

...Executive Summary A request for a proposal was set by Jennifer Childs, Manager of a mid-size pharmaceutical company, to her three General Managers to propose on the reinvestment of an additional profit of $2,000,000 into the company. She has strained that the proposal should lead to a reduction of cost to the company and or increase in sales. The money would be allocated to one or more of the affected areas. Proposed areas to improve on are: * The Product development department needs upgrading in more laboratory equipment and scientists but the costs involved could absorbed the whole profit amount * Production department needs to be restructured by using employee teams. This could be a good idea, the reasons are as follows: * Suggestions made by employees could be implemented * Cost not too much if work spread over a period of time The only problem we foresee is that Tyler should convinced Jennifer as the things that her father built, weigh up very high for her. * Operational department needs upgrading. Computer equipment can`t handle the volume of transactions – this would require buying new software but this could led to a loss of disruption to the legacy system. It would be suggested that this project being breakdown into phases. * A proposal was made by the Marketing manager to increase his budget to employ more sales representatives, rather than allocating funds to projects as he believe that this will increase sales.
