Riordan Mfg. SR-rm-002

Riordan Manufacturing has an established computer system which was installed in 1992 and is more of a financial system. This system keeps track of personal information, pay rate, tax exemptions, hire dates, seniority dates, organizational information, and vacation hours for the employee. Conducting interviews to get a better understanding of operations and establish objectives for the human resource system to implement. Questionnaires and surveys can be sent to several individuals to assist with the research and observation process. With the lack of an automated HR system, employee changes are submitted in writing to their manager and then manually entered by a clerk. The use of excel spreadsheets is good, but a more sophisticated system is needed in place for office efficiency and time saving efforts to allow for job focus. Riordan Manufacturing has an outsourced workers’ compensation third party which keeps its own records. The current system lacks a central employee database the managers that are keeping their employee records locked in their offices is not taking advantage of the current IT tools and systems available. Riordan Manufacturing project goals should include a Human Resource Information System with some training of the new system for HR members and interview to discuss what is needed and would work for them to better customize the new program. The technical feasibility would not be difficult to acquire since there is already an IT department to provide technical expertise as needed. The economic feasibility for this project will benefit tangible and intangible assets and will outweigh the estimated costs.
