Cloud Computing
Security
Develop Customer Records
What it offers
New Applications
New Software
Increased Storage
Hardware Updates
Wider Networks
Read: In the Cloud computing system we will offer Riordan the following in order for them to be successful.
Wider Networks- This means that they will not be limited to only one network when getting their product out there
Hardware Updates- The Cloud system will allow for those that are assigned to IT portion of the company to update the companies hardware system without any problems.
New Applications- Cloud computing will allow our company access to update Riodan system with new applications that will allow them to be more productive in their business needs.
New Software- In the Cloud Computing would be to make sure that the system is up to date on any software that is needed for the system to run properly.
Security- The system would have access to the latest security updates due to the fact that they are on the Cloud computing system which will allow our company to have access to the system and software.
Develop Customer Records- In the Cloud system it will allow all sales people the ability to set up new customers along with information about their billing and how to ship their product.
Increased Storage- In Cloud Computing Riordan will not be limited on the amount of storage that they have available for storing information.
Description of Cloud Computing
Private data warehouse (Private Cloud)
Warehouse becomes center of Information
Each desktop computer and mobile device becomes satellites to the warehouse
A back and forth channeling of Information between warehouse and devices
A back and forth channeling of Information between organizational divisions
Read:
We propose Riordan uses a Private Cloud. There information will be stored in it’s own data warehouse.
The warehouse becomes the nucleus for all the information flow providing instant retrieval of information from any department.
Where the warehouse is the nucleus of the information, the computers and mobile devices are the electrons and protons operating around the nucleus. Much like satellite orbit the earth. From these satellites information can be accessed from the warehouse.
The flow of information between the warehouse and devices is two way.
As with the information, immediate communication can go to the warehouse or to any division.

Business Requirements
Reduction in IT cost
Reduction in Production cost
Increase in Manufacturing Productivity
Increase Efficiency with Inventory
Improved communications between manufacturing divisions
Improved decision making
Improved flow of Information
Riordan maintenance to current IT system is high.
Riordan’s manufacturing production is antiquated and costly to run.
Riordan looks to increase production with better IT and more efficient manufacturing process.
Riordan’s Inventory system is antiquated and need of an overhaul.
There is lack of communication integration in Riordan’s current Information System.
Decisions are made on outdated or delayed information causing efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Information along the supply chain and with the organization is slow.

Information used in System
Scheduled Orders and Shipping Documents
Raw Materials Received
Vendors and Quantity
Raw Material Usage
Products produced: Final Product & Sub Assemblies
Inventory Usage
Final Products & Sub-assemblies returned to Inventory
Sales Order Forms and Orders Received
Billing System
Riordan handles numerous scheduled orders and shipping documents on a daily basis.
Riordan receives an extreme amount of raw materials daily.
Riordan works with many Vendors. Quantity of raw materials are entered into the information system.
The tonnage raw material usage is high. It is entered and analyzed along with created waste from production.
Riordan produces many products. The high number of these are tracked.
Materials taken from Inventory are tracked.
The numerous sub-assemblies and final products are placed in Inventory to wait shipping. Each product is tracked.
The countless sales are made by Riordan. Each order received on a custom order form via the company website is entered.
Riordan’s has a complex billing system.

Security & Ethical Concerns
Iron Cloud
Data Ownership
Data Access
Read: Providing Riordan with the utmost security is our top concern.
6
Information Flow of the Supply Chain
Information Flow
Supplier
Sub Supplier
Distributors
Customers
Read: Cloud Computing allows for immediate information for all participants of the supply chain.

Current Process
Receiving checks incoming material orders manually
Receiving information is logged in at the end of the shift
Materials used in Manufacturing are manually entered
Manufactured products are manually entered into Inventory
Sale orders come by phone or fax
Sale orders are manually entered into Shipping & Billing systems
Inventory System is manually updated
Receiving supervisor has print out of incoming shipping order. He/she checks it against shipping document to see if they match. This information is then entered into the inventory system.
At the end of each shift Receiving supervisor enters the log of all materials received. This data includes type of materials, the vendor and quantity.
As materials are pulled from Inventory, the inventory clerk enters this material.
As sub-assemblies and final products are completed they are sent into Inventory. There the clerk enters the data into the inventory system.
Office employees takes orders by phone or fax.
Sales staff place orders in Customer Shipping and Billing System, producing shipping documents.
Each day shipping documents are generated. The inventory clerk manually enters data.
8
Process Changes for the System
Receiving checks incoming material orders automated
Receiving information is instantly available to all divisions
Automated data entry on Materials used in Manufacturing
Automated data entry on Products manufactured in Inventory
Sale orders can come through Riordan web site
Sale Orders are automated
Inventory updates will automated
Incoming shipping documents will be barcoded. The bar code of the shipping document will match that of the scheduled order. This saves the receiving supervisor from cross checking forms. This is quicker and takes out the element of human error.
The receiving supervisor scans the incoming order, the information is automatically loaded into the Inventory system for all divisions to view.
As materials are pulled from Inventory they can be scanned. Again this information is loaded into the Inventory system for all divisions to view.
As sub-assemblies and final products are produced they can be given a bar code. As the products make their way from Manufacturing to Inventory they can be scanned. This information is automatically loaded into the system.
Customers can place orders from the company website free up sales staff.
These orders can go straight to shipping streamlining the sales process.
As products are removed from Inventory to Shipping, they can be scanned. The information is loaded into the system where all divisions can view.

Information Flow within Manufacturing Division
Sales Department
Shipping
Inventory
Receiving
Read: With cloud computing information concerning the manufacturing process can be accessed by all divisions. Once information has been entered any division can access it immediately cutting down in informational delays which ultimately affects decisions made in Manufacturing.

Internet and Mobile Access
Internet
Mobile Devices
Computers
Read: Riordan will have access to mobile devices, Internet, and computers due to the cloud computing which will allow them to be more flexible in how they acquire accounts or getting merchandise out to customers within a timely manner.
The Future of Riordan Cloud
Cloud Computing allows for complete automation in manufacturing process
Cloud Computing tracks all raw material received, inventoried and used
Cloud Computing tracks sub-assemblies and final products produced and shipped
Cloud Computing allows for all divisions to access any information of manufacturing
Cloud Computing streamlines the manufacturing process, cuts production costs
Cloud Computing cuts costs in software and maintenance to information system
