Dear Mitchelle, CMT, Nirmit, Mr. Nagle
Last Week - and again this week (yesterday) we
discussed our requirements with Tapan - Jayant of Applitech, who visited us to
Conduct/ Complete "System Requirement Study".
All
throughout, Mr. Nagle insisted that we should give our system Requirements to
Applitech, in the form of clearly designed OUTPUT STATEMENTS (only)
Descriptions will not do !
He also asked Tapan/ Jayant to prepare & submit
such OUTPUT STATEMENTs, based on what they have understood to be our requirements.
In this Connection, I enclose:
- Some
"Sample" output statements prepared by me
- These
are (17) handwritten pages
I hope to prepare some more
Copies of these (17) have been given to Tapan/ Jayant today.
Work done by Tapan/ Jayant so far in this
connection.
This consists of enclosed
. List A
(25 output statements, listing "fields", but not formatted)
. List B
(List of Some 60 statements of which 18 have been formatted)
They have promised to prepare rest of the
(formatted) statements & send to us by 19th Oct. for our scrutiny
(approval).
However, I agree with Mr. Nagle in that, we should
also design/ draft these output statements on our own & independently,
without getting biased.
Because,
as
"USERS" of this system, only we know best, as to
. What
exactly we want to see in any statement
. How
that statement will help us in executing an order, better/ faster
. What
future "Lessons" (policy - procedure wise) can we learn from HISTORY
- TYPE of statements (as opposed to current - order related statements).
This is therefore to request Mitchell/CMT/ Nirmit
to work overtime (and over the weekend!) and prepare whatever statements they
feel we would need from this system.
In this, if you wish, you may consult the folder
given to you on oct. 9 (which contains my note to Tapan).
I feel, each one of you should prepare these
statements independently.
I will do likewise. Then let us meet on Monday
Morning & compare & Consolidate & freeze our requirements.
