. Forecasting raw material needs will no longer be a guessing game. Financial data from each plant will be available from all sites without manual processes. 

We welcome the opportunity to partner with Riordan Manufacturing. Together we can make the correct IT investments that will grow Riordan into a $50 million dollar revenue business that stands out among its competitors. The stage will be set to obtain an even greater revenue stream as Riordan's systems grow to handle the companies growing processing demands. 

SYSTEMS INVESTIGATION/ANALYSIS 
Riordan Manufacturing has several areas that need to be addressed. To obtain the $50 million revenue goal, we have identified the following 4 business requirements that need to be addressed. The Business Requirements of the Service Request are as follows: 
1. Establish seamless compatibility between Finance and Accounting Systems. 
2. Enable EDI/ Scanning transactional information between vendors, Inventory, and Finance and Accounting systems. 
3. Centralize Accounts Receivable and Payable. 

4. Government compliance. 

Finance and Accounting 
The primary business objective of Riordan is to enable seamless compatibly amongst the San Jose, Hangzhou, Albany and Pontiac Plants. This mismatch in systems is causing monumental problems with the Finance and Accounting departments. The current situation does not enable Riordan to close the monthly general ledger for 15-20 days. This creates intense manpower requirements in several areas. The cascading effect of this creates a financial burden on the entire company and is possibly a legal liability. The manual effort requires make the process error prone, causing additional liabilities. External auditors are currently used. This adds to the labor and timeline of general ledger reporting.
 
Inventory and Billing 
Riordan's inventory management and billing systems are currently using manual forms at several process points. These areas will need to be automated. The raw material receiving areas, the inventory clerks office, and the sub-assemblies areas are all using these forms. Material requirements also need to be tied to real customer orders with a computed safety stock. The ordering system is using manual forms via telephone, fax, or from the sales staff. Forms are then manually entered in the customer shipping and billing system. This is done independently at each manufacturing site. There is no coordination between the plants and the San Jose headquarters in customer orders, and the eventual shipping data. 

Centralized Accounts Receivable and Payable 
Centralizing accounts receivable and payable is affected by the Finance and Accounting system incompatibility. The independent billing systems will need to interact with each other. Headquarters will be able to see the overall financials liabilities and assets of the entire company. Concerns can then be quickly addressed by Accounting, Operations, Sales and Company Executives. 

Government Compliance 
Government compliance is a legal requirement. Sarbanes-Oxley and 5500 reporting must be done in order to satisfy these requirements. Compiling the data from each site will have to be accurate, organized and automatic. Government compliance and guideline本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
