Abstract

The purpose of this service request is to analyze the human resources infrastructure that Riordan Manufacturing has in place. The current system that is in place was installed in 1992.

The end result of the analysis is to design and implement a proposal that will integrate the state-of-the-art human resources systems and tools of today into a single, user-friendly application. This unified application will then be used by all the Riordan Manufacturing Plant locations, which includes San Jose, California,- Albany, Georgia, - Pontiac, Michigan and Hangzhou, China.

Steps like using third-party vendors for some of the current system’s applications. Also, freeing up managers from needing to be responsible for individual employee profiles by creating a central locus for employee information is just one of the ways we hope to be able to streamline the current system.

This service request has been issued by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Hugh McCauley. To remain in line with his stated wishes, it is our aim to: define the business requirements for human resources development, to enumerate all the jobs, resources, cash outlay, time needed to complete the request, and finally to bring the project into its implementation phase within six months of its inception.
