Project
Case Study: Australian Labs
Australian
Labs provides lab testing services for a variety of clients, mostly
doctors’ offices and other small medical businesses throughout the
country. Clients send test vials containing blood samples or other
test requests to Australian Lab’s testing center, where the
requested tests are performed, after which the results are sent back
to the clients via fax.
Jim
Larsen, the head technician in the testing facility at Australian
Labs, has approached you for help with the company’s outdated
inventory tracking system. Business has picked up recently, and the
turnaround for clients’ requested tests has been lengthening. To
make matters worse, the lab technicians are seldom able to give
customers an answer regarding where their requests fall in the
testing queue or how long they can expect the turnaround to be. Much
of this stems from an old, mostly paper-based inventory tracking
system, which includes hand written labels put on each of the
incoming test vials and a logbook with entries made for each vial at
each stage of the testing process.
Jim
would like to streamline the inventory tracking process with updated
information systems that uses barcodes and a modern database to keep
track of customer test requests and the accompanying vials. He would
like to enable technicians to provide accurate status updates and
turnaround estimates, and generally shorten the turnaround time for
test requests.
You
need to identify all functional and non-function requirements for the
development of stated Inventory Tracking Information System.
After
an initial analysis, you make the following estimations. You will use
these data as a part of your initial cost benefit analysis.

For
Project Cost Benefit Analysis assume discount rate to be 10%. Total
development cost (one time cost) is $80,000.00. Assume recurring cost
to be $25,000.00 per year.
