This document is designed to provide a high level overview of TOT Shirts Ltd., i.e., its various departments and their activities.
Each department is examined in the following manner:-
High Level Activities / Processing
Its inputs - meaning what information, assets, items drives the activities within the departments
Its functions: what activities the department undertakes, what decisions are made as to how to carry out its various activities
its outputs: what is the end product/ result of the departments completed activities. These outputs may indeed form the inputs for other departments
Current Processing Flow (i.e. what tasks the department staff do on a day to day basis to meet their high level activities / processing objectives
To aid comprehension, a workflow schematic has been created for each department to visualise the above.
A highly simplified overview schematic of TOT' can be seen here
Notes:
It is important to understand that the above overview has been deliberately constructed to look at what TOT's departments do - and not how activities are done, nor what specific technology or platforms are used to achieve these. It is thus a business overview map not a functional brief. Its purpose is to document the activities of TOT so that further work for system development has a foundationally reference point.
The overview of departments requires review and ratification of the corresponding Dept managers and senior management team. Such approval will do recorded and included in this project
