Case Study• Case studies on practical implementations of DCS help to

explain the services that it provides.• This project was promoted by the introduction of a generation

of computer-aided design (CAD) machinery.• What has been learned is also critical in connection with ERP

(Enterprise Resource Planning)• Overall, the work was based on two premises:

– The taxonomic organization of parts was made independent of classification of machines to which these belonged.

– Particular attention was paid to classification of generalized parts useful to more than one machine

Why Do We Need Clear Text• Clear Text stood for descriptive information associated

with the classification code, and therefore to item ID.• This information has been designed and built along

modular lines to provide descriptive identification for each classified and identified part within DCS.

• Clear Text should compose of two sections:– The first is of fixed length, 40 characters ling,

addressing the level of the class. In frame presentation, this text is a heading.

– The second is a variable length: 25 to 50 characters long. It is associated with the <bc>

Bina Nusantara

Why Do We Need Clear Text• Several basic rules have been established to guide the writing of

the clear text for machines, parts, and materials. For example:– The clear text organization should follow the taxonomical

sequence of the classification– The clear text should be written in a way that the end user

can easily comprehend– The unit of measurement should preced the numerical value

where one value exists: V 110; or fit within the range, when a range exists: 220 v 235

• When the information relative to xi is absent from the clear text, but is judged to be of technical interest, it must be replaced by the sign “?”. This leads to a pointer in the database where further description is found

Why Do We Need Clear Text

Efficient Product Line Management• A general principle that exists with most

professions is known intimately by some and ultimately by others.

• This is the law of inverse cost-effectiveness.• This simply says that “what an information

system loses in performance and efficiency, it gains in uncertainty, poor service, and added, unnecessary costs”

Bina Nusantara

Efficient Product Line Management• Three components that come

together in ensuring seamless database access by end users:– A streamlined information

system that is architectured, integrated, competitive, and replaces old legacy software

– A classification/ identification solution, such as DCS, able to act as a pivot point of the new information technology

– A distributed intelligent database networked any-to-any and available online at any time, in any place

Bina Nusantara

Efficient Product Line Management• The systems requirements outlined by these three components

correlate and therefore, can be well-served through a common methodology.

• There are algorithmic and heuristic approaches at the intersection of the new information system design and the exploitation of database resources.

• Some 80 percent of the difficulty in using mathematics in management comes from the lack of data, and only 20 percent comes from challenges in modeling.

• As systems become more sophisticated, their ability to capture, store, process, and distribute data has been significantly extended.

• This ability, however, is often conditioned by the efficiency of the process by which databases communicate with one another and with end users.

Organizational Reaction to the Restructuring of Current Prevailing

Procedures• The needed supply chain continuity was not

obvious to them during past operations because:– The terminology used by each department and

its IT subsystem was different, even if many fields came from the same source documents

– Legacy IT applications had been too deeply influenced by the punched card era and its 80-column straitjacket

Bina Nusantara

Implementing <basic code>• Development of a coding system to serve in streamlining

banking operations has often taken a twisted path.• The client account number is an example of such twists. Client

accounts are characterized by different codes, depending on whether refernce is made to a demand deposit account (DDA, current account), savings account, foreign trade account, personal banking, or other operations.

• The result is that the same client relationship is represented by several incompatible numbers.

• This diversity and (most often) heterogeneity in ID codes is of course irrational because it makes it difficult to have an integrated view of the client account and splits the database into discrete islands where bridges are fragile, if not outright difficult to establish.

Bina Nusantara

Implementing <basic code>• Globalization, deregulation, and innovation make

streamlining absolutely necessary, and DCS can find an excellent field of application among financial institutions.

• It permits bank-wide integration of client files with the proper identification of all accounts through <basic code>, <suffix> and <origin>, offering the bank a unique frame of reference:– <basic code> identifies the client account on a nationwide

basis, or internationally– <suffix> tells about the type of account: DDA, savings,

loans, portfolio management, foreign operations, etc.– <origin> is simply the branch office code or for large

corporate accounts, the central marketing service responsible for client handling

The Effect of Improved Organization on Accounting and Logistics

• Classification is organization, and an improved organization positively influences many vital sectors in the enterprise.

• The next chapter focuses on a quantum step forward in quality assurance through Six Sigma, as a bridge between the impact a greatly improved identification system has on engineering design manufacturing, and sales, and greater competence in quality of accounting and logistics

• The basic structure of all accounting records and financial reports consists of:– A few elementary principles and concepts– A set of relationships among accounting system elements– Man-made rules and guides based on the application of principles

• To make intelligent use of information, one must understand:– What a given figure probably means– What the limitations of data obtained are– Under what circumstances it may mean something different from the

apparent signal that it gives

• The typical user of accounting information and of logistics reports does not need to know how to project, structure, operate, or control the accuracy of the entire accounting system in the enterprise – or even part of it.

• However, that person must know to appreciate the prevailing error rate, precision, and timeliness of logistical and accounting reports

• In addition, the user must:– Know how to user this knowledge to solve the problem that arise

during operations– Master the art of management, which includes many matters

that have little to do with the instruments themselves, but much to do with the process
