Riordan Manufacturing sells customized bottles and designs, computer and room fans, and medical devices such as heart valves and stents. The main headquarters is located in San Jose, California and the three manufacturing plants are located in Pontiac, Michigan, Albany, Georgia, and overseas in China.

The correct process of documenting changes made in code is to have a record kept in the header of the code with information about who changed it and when it was done. Documentation during the coding and testing process assists in solving issues that could possibly arise during the implementation process.
The system needs to be thoroughly tested before it can be implemented into production. Testing should start as soon as the first code is created and becomes functional. Use cases that were created during the design phase need to be tested. Every possible scenario needs to be tested. Once the testing has been completed, the project moves forward with preparing the HRIS to go live in …show more content…
The specifications can be used for a base line when management needs to make enhancements or upgrades. Files in the database need created showing when a module in the system was implemented, who implemented it the module, and results of issues and successes.

Training of management in the HR department begins as soon as the new HRIS is operational and can be accessed during the testing phase. This is considered beta testing. Once the system is implemented into production, a select group of users will access the new system and begin setting up user access rights. Users should be created in an organized format that is used throughout the whole system. Training of employees is provided by team members selected by Riordan Manufacturing. Depending on the user’s involvement, will decide how much training is needed.
The new HRIS should need minimal technical support and can be handled by the IT management at each of the facilities. Employees that have questions that aren’t answered by the help files accessed on the site will have access to pertinent people within the HR department to contact for
