U3 A3 – Design Principles for the case study

Design Principles

Throughout the narrative of the case study presented in the previous post, the design principles are identified with a number that relates them to the following list:

1. Simplification through extensive use of IT. Established by the CEO’s global directive.
2. Unification of payroll systems. Directive set by Human Resources in the home country in alignment with the CEO’s global directive.
3. Benefits of the new system:
   • Shorter total run time
   • Check-points for quick re-processing
   • Standard accounting interface for all business units
   • Customisable management reports
4. Consult payroll information wherever you go. Provided there is an Internet connection.
5. Electronic Payroll support available 24/7.
6. Consult your payslip from home.  Similar to #4 but centred on the plant’s workers.
