Introduction

Riordan Industries , a corporation belonging to the Fortune 1000 enterprise would like to plan for redeveloping all of its owned companies ' software that is vital to each of their business nature Their main company , Riordan Manufacturing , would like to take initiative in this course by having a detailed plan for their software maintenance and change control since they are in the stage of entering the global market with their newly opened production site in

China . As outlined in their set of focus , this software redevelopment should address to the need of the company to acquire international certifications for complying Six Sigma and ISO 9000 standards (George 2003 , Johnson 2007

With this scenario , my software engineering team , [Name of your company] , was tasked by Riordan Manufacturing to realize a comprehensive plan for their need of software customization . And after three months of study on their company 's structure , my team had decided to propose an integrative software package that would be used by all of its departments .

The software package is subdivided into modules , and these modules are designed for a specific task that may concern one or more of the company 's departments (Haug et . al , n .d . These individual modules though having unique characteristics on how to handle their destined tasks , are made in such a way that they would readily coordinate into other modules once information is needed by another

The software package is not limited internally to Riordan 's Manufacturing employees use since it is also capable to handle customer 's needs especially when ing products of the company (Manning , 2006
