    LESSON NOTES

    SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN


     System Analysis is the detailed investigating the current system to determine is
    problems, requirements and the best way of solving the problems.
     System- a group of elements working together to achieve a common goal. Systems
    are of two types:
     Physical system: refers to tangible systems like schools, firm, shop, e.t.c
     Conceptual system: These exist in mind or paper and cannot be touched.
    They just represent a system.

    The Systems Analyst: this is a person identifies problems of existing system and
    recommends the best solution to such a problem.

    FEASIBILITY STUDY
     A feasibility study is performed by an organization in order to evaluate whether a
    specific action makes sense from an economic and operational point.
     The objective of the study is to test the feasibility of specific action and to determine
    and to define any issues that would argue against this action.
     The feasibility study is crucial document which defines the initial system concepts,
    objectives, requirements and alternatives. The study also forms the framework for
    system development project and establishes a baseline for further studies.

    TYPES OF FEASIBILITY STUDY


    ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY

     Determining whether the benefits of the new system will out-weigh the estimated cost
    involved in developing, purchasing, assembling requirements, installing and
    maintenance of the new system.
     The cost-benefits analysis is carried out
     Benefits can be tangible and quantifiable e.g profits in terms of monetary values,
    fewer processing errors, increased production increased response time, e.t.c.
     Other benefits are intangible, e.g improved customer goodwill, employee moral job
    satisfaction, better service to the community, e.t.c

    TECHNICAL FEASIBLITY
     Determines if the organization can obtain software, equipment and personnel to
    develop, install and operate the system and even to maintain it.
     The technical feasibility study helps organizations determine whether they have the
    technical resources to convert the idea into a fully functional and profitable working
    system.

    SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

     A measure of the system’s acceptance by the general public, if it will meet the norms
    and values of the society.

    LEGAL FEASIBILITY

     This is determining if the system can conform to the laws and statutes of the country.
    This is done by considering government legislation e.g data processing system must
    comply with the local Data Processing Acts

    OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY

     Determines whether the current work practices and procedures are adequate to
    support the system, e.g effects on social lives of those affected by the system, can it
    work well with existing hardware, e.t.c.
     Operation feasibility assessment focuses on the degree to which the proposed system
    fits in with the existing business environment and objectives with regard to
    development schedule, delivery date, corporate culture and existing business
    processes,

    After carrying out a feasibility study, a feasibility study report must be produced and it
    contains the following information:

     A brief description of the business.


     Advantages and problems of the existing system.
     Objectives of the new system.
     Evaluations of the alternative solutions.
     Development timetable
     Management summary
     Terms of reference
     Proposed solution.
