I will be focusing on the elements of the system development process, the management controls I will be expecting to see throughout the process are: -Authorisation required for development projects -Changes must be controlled using appropriate approval and documentation -Administrative controls must be built into the design of the new system (eg batch control supervisor), verification is normally done by checking a service or system meets a set of specifications. Verification procedures involve performing tests to model, then concluding a review of the modelling results. A verification usually repeat test to ensure the products continues to meet the specific requirements and complies with regulations that have been established during the beginning of the development process. Verification is an internal process and can be in development or production. Validation is intended to ensure that the product or system results in a system that meets the operational needs of the user. Validation is used to predict faults and gaps that might lead to invalid or incomplete verification of the product. This is mainly an external process. Security controls are to minimise or avoid security risks to any company or property; there are a number of ways to avoid this such as user login and access controls, firewalls and antivirus software. -Documentation of developments must be complete, filed and kept up to date so that others can follow on -User training to ensure they are able to make the most of the new system -Scheduling of work and costs must be controlled to ensure a quality product is produced within budget and by the deadlines set -Testing must be thorough and completed before approval for implementation System life cycle Cost... ... middle of paper ... ...ation flowcharts and engagement letter.

(Andre, 2016) The two forms of measurements are Financial and Operational. Financial measurements consist of net profit, return of investments and cash flow. Whereas Operational measurements deal with the rate which money is generated in the system called the Through Put; the control of inventory and the overall operating expense inventory, sales, salary. (Jacobs, 2013) Each of the above statements is key factors to the rules of constraint management. Lister stated, “The constraint management model seeks to improve gaps between constrained resources and non-constrained resources. Tying the completion of project steps by non -constrained resources to completion by constrained resources improves operational efficiency and closes gaps in schedules.” (Lister, 2016) The article continued discussing the model of constraints in management and how it identifies with the employees performance standards and the improvement of the operational efficiency. The importance of structure was emphasized when collecting raw material, creating product and the delivering of products to the consumer. (Lister, 2016) Each of these is key factors to the success of an operation. Improper structure and/or lack
Designating and documenting processes can set a benchmark from which workers and organizations can flourish. Identifying key processes and knowing the right methods in which to deliver them can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of how something works. Potential implications can be detrimental when a process breaks down or the right knowledge is not provided to the workers. It is vital that we are proactive and provide just the right amount of detail to ensure that training suppor...
The EIA Directive aims to be integrative of all interested actors and to make a wide range of projects sustainable, in order to protect the environment, enhance the quality of life and reduce any friction between planners, developers and local communities [European Union (EU), 2009]. It is a process constituted by different stages from screening to evaluating and monitoring the impacts of the project implemented (Wood, 2003).
The Goal is a book that focuses on the theory of constraints in order to improve production. Eliyahu Goldratt brings us a pleasant story that shows the important strategies that any manager or CEO should follow to be successfully productive, and capable of reaching their goals. The book easily explains and demonstrates many attainable ways for any human being to learn how to manage their industrial relations, business processes, and also, their personal lives.

Environmental management has expanded from a focus on regulatory compliance to addressing pollution at the source. A huge factor in the transition to a more environmentally aware society is the significant efforts made by environmental professionals in promoting environmental friendly initiatives.
Environmental management is a process in which a certain company, individual, or partnership do to help protect the cleanliness of the environment. Basically it involves the management of the environment, but the deeper meaning is the step by step process that one does to impact the environment in a good way. It is also implementing behaviors that will benefit the environment.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) refers to a tool that assists in limiting the potential environmental damage of various developments that are undertaken in an area (Handley & Handley, 2001). Other researchers and scholars consider EIA as a key aspect of many large-scale planning applications; whereby, the EIA is used as the technique that help developers understand the potential environmental impacts of any major development proposal (Wathern, 1988). EIA entails information gathering practice that is carried out by both the developer and other relevant bodies to enable the Local Planning Authority appreciate the potential environmental effects of any form of development before giving directions on its commencement or stoppage (Dougherty & Hall, 1995; Wathern, 1988). Therefore, EIA can simply be described as the scientific and public consultation process that helps identify the potential impacts of any proposed project on the environment; that is, the biophysical component of the physical environment.
