- A person specialized in the design and implementation of enterprise computer networks. The person will be responsible for insuring that the application can be accessed securely from various terminals within the facility and outside of the facility for critical alerting. - A person specialized in the development of RFID reader scripts to interface between the RFID readers, bar code readers, data grabbers, and the database application. It is important to notice that these would be the minimal human resource requirements for implementing the system.
However the responsibilities of each member of each of the above teams may be modified depending on project time, human resource competency, and associated cost. The implementation of the new system has to be done without being able to completely interrupt production. Thus, there are several risks to be considered in the project plan. The testing measures in the implementation of the project plan should help to mitigate risk sensibly. The main risks include: - Having to interrupt production while testing or installing the new system.
In doing so, the company may face several issues in bringing the system up to the level of production capacity that used to be in place, and that is without taking into account all of the technical issues that may arise from the implementation of a new and custom designed system. The best way to mitigate such risk is in insuring that each portion of the system can be tested and progressively implemented in a redundant fashion, thereby without relying on having to interrupt present production capacity.
- Compatibility of the sensing and monitoring subsystems with the manufacturing equipment. The level of accuracy demanded of such a system is fairly high, meaning that they can not be any occurrence of wrongful data transfer without triggering an alert in the system. The various testing procedures have to take into account each machine and its monitoring subsystems to insure that error detection is active and accurate to prevent any wrongful data flow in the overall system.
- The learning curve of the system has to be fairly small in order to allow to shopkeeper to seamlessly transition from the old to the new system. In order to reduce that risk, it would be imperative to have the shopkeeper participate in all testing phases of the system even prior to the acceptance testing. - Another nestle bcg matrix 2016 to consider is from a software application standpoint. The wireless network to be implemented facilitates access to the application which also increases the risk of network intrusion.
A means to minimize that risk is to implement several security layers in the system including encryption of data and authentication of user. Also the database should be regularly backed-up in case of any problems occurring to challenge its integrity. In general, the system implementation and launch represents several risks which can be reduced by insuring that each subsystem is thoroughly tested even for unlikely problem occurrences. Each of the problems highlighted in the testing runs should then be corrected adequately prior to the final implementation of the overall system.
