| dc.description.abstract | Most system development methods, at least in principle, have two impol1ant components, namely a modeling language and a process. The modeling languages are graphical notations for expressing designs and provides easy communication and documentation. The process of the method shows how to do the development process This thesis uses the Rumbough's OMT (Object Modeling Technique) for the process of the analysis and designing of information SUPPOI-t system for SUR Construction S Co. Equipped with this object oriented methods, the thesis focuses on identifying the requirement of the company, department by dependent. And then a special focus is given to the material resource of the company. It has been found that almost every department is concerned with the material resources, and as such it is a decisive object that determines the success or failure of the company. Therefore, the necessary information and operations concerned with this important material has to be identified and designed so that every department is provided with the kind of information the department requires for decisions making. Many system development effol1s are made with very little or no regard to the very impol1ant aspect of development process, namely, the documentation. Although system development efforts are made in SUR very recently it appears no sufficient documentation for the requirement analysis of the company has been made. As a result, each is an islands of desperate attempts, that failed to come up with a system that can provide an accurate, timely, and relevant in formation that the management of SUR needs for decision making and control of operation. This thesis uses the UML as ways of communicating and documenting the requirement analysis of the company. Risk and uncertainty are fact of life. SUR are faced with a multitude of different risk and uncertainty issues. But the company approaches these unpredictable circumstances of business based on the whims and experiences that can be subject to variation and errors. Hence it is good to collect the experience of the domain experts of the company on the area and formalize and organize the decisions by clearly identifying the important variables both controllable and uncontrollable and describe them through a model. And use this model to forecast how each risk circumstance behaves, to make a better decision that otherwise would have been costly. To this end, this paper explores the potential of models in bidding for a new project with competitors. | en_US |
