...Work Related Project Analysis The analysis of a system is a required and formal investigation which must be done in order to assist a person or an organization in a decision making process. Better choices or decisions are made with a system analysis than without (Kay R, 2002). Identification of the underlying issues or the main complaints made by a client must be included as part of the system analysis. Problems and alternative methods including the risks and benefits of the alternative methods must be assessed as well as part of the system analysis. For the consumers and development team to make the best choice from the several improvement methods, it is important to consider these risks and benefits (Kay R, 2002). Personal and cooperate plans, development, and other services typically use the system analysis in directing decision making. The Reliable Pharmaceutical Services Some health care organizations offer pharmaceutical services to other health care delivery organizations that do not have the ability to run such services. The book ‘System Analysis and Design in a Changing World’ by John W. Satzinger, Robert B. Jackson and Stephen D. Burd illustrates this by the use of a case study of a Pharmaceutical company, The Reliable Pharmaceuticals Services.

Closely monitoring and controlling the progress of the project. 3. Communication monitoring for the project. 4. Keeping track of all the open activities in the lifetime of the project. Systems design is the structuring the components and organizing the process of the system so that the new system can be programmed. The components are composed of the network, software, application architecture, system interfaces, user interfaces, the system appthat were built during the analysis. The outputs are the models or diagrams that describes the architecture of the system and detailed logic within the various components of the programming. Traditional Approach to Design The traditional approach to systems design is the data flow diagram which is enhanced by the addition of system boundary in which the designer sketches the system boundary to show the overall system.
