Abstract/Summary
H.J. Franklin, Inc. is a trading company and is an exclusive distributor of products and services for engineering and measurementation. It engages in both commercial and industrial trading, import and re-export of specialized instrumentation systems or packages for the process industries. It has been operating since 1984. In keeping up with the growing number of clients, the company has called for a need of an information system to enable them to fully utilize their resources and minimize their costs. This signal the development of FRANK ISPLAN, a three-year information system plan for H.J. Franklin, Inc. An information system plan will serve as a foundation for future plans of the company for growth and expansion. FRANK ISPLAN adapted as methodology the Systems Planning of the Modern System Development Life Cycle introduced by Jeffrey Whitten, Lonnie Bentley, and Victor Barlow. Systems planning has three stages of development--study phase, definition phase and business area analysis phase. Each phase produces an output that will be critical in the development of the information system plan. The study phase involves data gathering and study of the business environment. The definition phases defines processes and functions of the company. The business area analysis sets the stage for solutions and recommendations. Following the performance of the different activities involved in the methodology, five information systems are arrived at. These are the Order Fulfillment, Product Servicing, Accounting, Financial, and the Personnel Information Systems. Order Fulfillment, Product Servicing, and Accounting Information Systems are the main information systems suggested in FRANK ISPLAN. The Financial and Personnel Information Systems are future systems which are up for further study and analysis.
