Network and Workflow for Data Analytics Company
Every company requires a workflow that is consistent with the network in order to achieve productivity and value addition. There are different network setups for different companies based on the services and products offered. The main idea behind formulation of a network is to map the workflow of the company to different resources available. The network design must guarantee effective connection among the staff members in a company. The relationship between network diagram and company’s workflow is based on the idea to maintain communication in the company among the existing staff members. The achievement of the company’s objective is based on the nature and performance of the network as well as the workflow of the respective company (Kumar & Kirthika, 2017). This paper outlines the design and architecture of a good practice network and workflow for a big data company.
The implementation of the network for a data analytics company requires planning based on the requirements and user roles. Connecting the staff is the main idea in a network architecture. The requirements for a data analytics company shall need data analysts for decision making and identification of opportunities in the market sector (Kumar & Kirthika, 2017). A good network workflow shall guarantee improvement in service offering for the company in context. A highly skilled team shall be required for the achievement of the objectives with the use of the network workflow.
The composition of a data analytics company is made of the leader director of analytics, data science manager and analytics manager.

Abstract
Lean Six Sigma projects and the quality engineering profession have to deal with an extensive selection of tools
most of them requiring specialized training. The increased availability of standard statistical software motivates the
use of advanced data science techniques to identify relationships between potential causes and project metrics. In
these circumstances, Symbolic Regression has received increased attention from researchers and practitioners to
uncover the intrinsic relationships hidden within complex data without requiring specialized training for its
implementation. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the advantages and drawbacks of using computer assisted
Symbolic Regression within the Analyze phase of a Lean Six Sigma project. An application of this approach in a
service industry project is also presented.

1. Introduction
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has become a well-known hybrid methodology for quality and productivity improvement in
organizations. Its wide adoption in several industries has shaped Process Innovation and Operational Excellence
initiatives, enabling LSS to become a main topic in quality practitioner sites of interest [1], recognized Six Sigma
(SS) certification body of knowledge contents [2], and professional society conferences [3].
However LSS projects and the quality engineering profession have to deal with an extensive selection of tools most
of them requiring specialized training. To assist LSS practitioners it is common to categorize tools based on the
traditional DMAIC model which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control phases. Table 1
presents an overview of the main tools that are commonly used in each phase of a LSS project, allowing team
members to progressively develop an understanding between realizing each phase’s intent and how the selected
tools can contribute to that purpose.
This paper focuses on the Analyze phase where tools for statistical model building are most likely to be selected.
The increased availability of standard statistical software motivates the use of advanced data science techniques to
identify relationships between potential causes and project metrics. In these circumstances Symbolic Regression
(SR) has received increased attention from researchers and practitioners even though SR is still in an early stage of
commercial availability.

Introduction to CRISP-DM and the R Platform Organizational BackgroundOrganizational Background:
The organization I currently work for and planning to implement the techniques of the data analytics course is T-Mobile USA, which offers wireless mobile phone services to 0ver 80 million customers in the United States. It’s a huge enterprise with large scale information technology systems that support the business that T-Mobile does. The company is seeing significant growth in terms of business and therefore the IT systems that are supporting the business. Myself as a DEVOPS engineer works on deploying the code to these mission critical systems, host them and operate to make sure the systems are working as expected. As the land scape of our IT systems grow, we want to be able to identify the issues in our systems in advance so that we can prevent them before causing any outage to the business. To achieve such a result, our IT systems logs needs to be analyzed in-depth to unleash the critical insights about the system performance and apply the feedback to improve our systems.

NURS 6050: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health
Walden University
In 2010 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted; the hope was to expand access to medical care, make coverage more affordable, and decrease the number of people without medical insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded and improved health insurance coverage in two primary ways. First, the number of individuals receiving insurance coverage grown by increasing access to coverage through Medicaid expansion and providing subsidies to purchase private insurance on the health care exchanges. Second, the ACA upgraded the quality and scope of coverage by improving benefit design, including implementing the essential health benefits (Willison & Singer, 2017). People who did not have coverage through their employer or Medicaid were required to purchase insurance through the Marketplace. The Marketplace was created as a one-stop-shop for people to view multiple plans and purchase insurance. Just because you have access to health care insurance does not mean you are going to receive quality health care (Teitelbaum, 2018).
Both parties have asked that the ACA be repealed or replaced for multiple reasons. Every Republican presidential candidate for 2016 has called for the repeal of the ACA. Some, but not all, Republican candidates have proposed health policies that they would like to put in place after repeal, but there is no broad agreement on a replacement for the ACA (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). The federal government would spend $90.9 billion less on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). State governments as a whole would spend $5.2 billion more on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). Healthcare is a priority to many Americans for obvious reasons; it was more costly for those with preexisting conditions before the ACA to obtain Medical Insurance. With the ACA the income guidelines for Medicaid where changed so additional people qualified that didn’t prior. As a Behavioral Health Nurse, I am a fan of anyone and everyone having access to Healthcare Services. I have seen to many times my patient not have the money for their medications because insurance was canceled so they go off their medications, they become unstable and ended up in the Emergency Department and admitted Inpatient, costing more money, hurting themselves and their loved ones.
Politicians are aware that election time is the best time to play the tug of war game with the heavy ticket items to capture someone votes. Republicans ran hard on promises to get rid of the law in every election since it passed in 2010. But when the GOP finally got control of the House, the Senate and the White House in 2017, Republicans found
they could not reach agreement
on how to "repeal and replace" the law (Kaiser Health News, 2018). And political strategists s.

I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic for the past seven years with many different providers. I live in a rural community, many patients wait six to twelve months to be seen. Patients being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder must be officially tested before being seen by a Psychologist. For this discussion board post, I have changed the name of my patient to Paul to ensure patient confidentially. The provider I worked with this particular patient will also be referred to as PMHNP to ensure provider confidentiality.
Paul was a ten-year-old Caucasian male referred to our clinic diagnosed per DSM criteria, confirmed via Psychologist testing with ADHD. When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

Second, the ACA upgraded the quality and scope of coverage by improving benefit design, including implementing the essential health benefits (Willison & Singer, 2017). People who did not have coverage through their employer or Medicaid were required to purchase insurance through the Marketplace. The Marketplace was created as a one-stop-shop for people to view multiple plans and purchase insurance. Just because you have access to health care insurance does not mean you are going to receive quality health care (Teitelbaum, 2018).
Both parties have asked that the ACA be repealed or replaced for multiple reasons. Every Republican presidential candidate for 2016 has called for the repeal of the ACA. Some, but not all, Republican candidates have proposed health policies that they would like to put in place after repeal, but there is no broad agreement on a replacement for the ACA (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). The federal government would spend $90.9 billion less on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). State governments as a whole would spend $5.2 billion more on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). Healthcare is a priority to many Americans for obvious reasons; it was more costly for those with preexisting conditions before the ACA to obtain Medical Insurance. With the ACA the income guidelines for Medicaid where changed so additional people qualified that didn’t prior. As a Behavioral Health Nurse, I am a fan of anyone and everyone having access to Healthcare Services. I have seen to many times my patient not have the money for their medications because insurance was canceled so they go off their medications, they become unstable and ended up in the Emergency Department and admitted Inpatient, costing more money, hurting themselves and their loved ones.
Politicians are aware that election time is the best time to play the tug of war game with the heavy ticket items to capture someone votes. Republicans ran hard on promises to get rid of the law in every election since it passed in 2010. But when the GOP finally got control of the House, the Senate and the White House in 2017, Republicans found
they could not reach agreement
on how to "repeal and replace" the law (Kaiser Health News, 2018). And political strategists s.

Discussion Board Week 1-Original Post
11/30/2020
I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic for the past seven years with many different providers. I live in a rural community, many patients wait six to twelve months to be seen. Patients being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder must be officially tested before being seen by a Psychologist. For this discussion board post, I have changed the name of my patient to Paul to ensure patient confidentially. The provider I worked with this particular patient will also be referred to as PMHNP to ensure provider confidentiality.
Paul was a ten-year-old Caucasian male referred to our clinic diagnosed per DSM criteria, confirmed via Psychologist testing with ADHD. When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

Week 6
COLLAPSE
My own attitude has changed from lack of understanding to enlightenment over the years. In elementary school I never experienced students with disabilities in my classrooms, growing up. But as the years went on and legislation changed students with disabilities started trickling into general education classrooms. They were always ignored by other students and often times had an aide to assist them with assignments. As an adult my heart has opened up to accept all types of people. In the Pennhurst documentary, it was reiterated, they are just people (Baldini, 1968). Which is my outlook on how to treat everyone. Every single person is a human being, treat them the way you wish to be treated. Everyone no matter their race, disability or socio-economic status deserves to be treated humanely.
As an educator I have worked with several different types of students. Students from low socio-economic areas, behavioral issues, vision impairments, hearing impairments, with autism, hyper activity and down syndrome, and with all of these students I have given them my best effort to show them that they are students first. Slavin and Schunk (2017) said it best, “Each student has many characteristics, and the disability is only one of them. To define the child in terms of the disability does him or her an injustice” (p. 235). It is our role as an educator to incorporate different learning styles to give each student, regardless of disabilities, the education that they deserve.
Welcoming students with disabilities into my classroom will be an important aspect in my role as an educator. Allowing each student to feel love and acceptance by peers is important for any students success. Van Brummelen (2009) states, “ It is important to appreciate students with special needs for who they are. Always look beyond their disabilities and teach them as whole persons” (p. 208). Being an advocate for my students with learning disabilities will garner them respect and dignity that they need to be self sufficient. In the Pennhurst documentary, the children did not have complete proper advocacy from the people that worked with them. They were simply shuffled along and not given the proper education and care that they needed to be self-sufficient (Baldini, 1968). “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked” (Psalm 82:3-4, New International Version). It is our Godly duty to defend individuals who can not defend themselves. In His eyes we are all created equal and in that we all deserve equal treatment and opportunities.

Melissa is a 15-year-old high school student. Over the last week, she had been feeling tired and found it difficult to stay awake in class. By the time the weekend had arrived, she developed a sore throat that made it difficult to eat and even drink. Melissa was too tired to get out of bed, and she said her head ached. On Monday morning, her mother took her to her doctor. Upon completing the physical exam, he told Melissa the lymph nodes were enlarged in her neck and she had a fever. He ordered blood tests and told Melissa he thought she had mononucleosis, a viral infection requiring much bed rest.

Measurement of the angle θ For better understanding .docxwkyra78
Measurement of the angle θ
For better understanding I am showing you a different particle track diagram bellow. Where at
point C particle 𝜋 − 𝑎𝑛𝑑 Σ− are created and the Σ− decays into 𝜋 ∓ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 K− particles
The angle θ between the π− and Σ− momentum vectors can be determined by drawing tangents
to the π− and Σ− tracks at the point of the Σ− decay. We can then measure the angle between
the tangents using a protractor. Alternative method which does not require a protractor is also
possible. Let AC and BC be the tangents to the π− and Σ− tracks respectively. Drop a
perpendicular (AB) and measure the distances AB and BC. The ratio AB/BC gives the tangent of
the angle180◦−θ. It should be noted that only some of the time will the angle θ exceed 90◦ as
shown here.
Determining the uncertainty of Measurements
In part B, It is asked to estimate the uncertainty of your measurements of 𝜃 and r.
Uncertainty of measurement is the doubt that exists about the result of any measurement. You
might think that well-made rulers, clocks and thermometers should be trustworthy, and give
the right answers. But for every measurement - even the most careful - there is always a margin
of doubt.
It is important not to confuse the terms ‘error’ and ‘uncertainty’.
Error is the difference between the measured value and the ‘true value’ of the thing being
measured.
Uncertainty is a quantification of the doubt about the measurement result
Since there is always a margin of doubt about any measurement, we need to ask ‘How big is the
margin?’ and ‘How bad is the doubt?’ Thus, two numbers are really needed in order to quantify
an uncertainty. One is the width of the margin, or interval. The other is a confidence level, and
states how sure we are that the ‘true value’ is within that margin.
You can increase the amount of information you get from your measurements by taking a
number of readings and carrying out some basic statistical calculations. The two most
important statistical calculations are to find the average or arithmetic mean, and the standard
deviation for a set of numbers.
The ‘true’ value for the standard deviation can only be found from a very large (infinite) set of
readings. From a moderate number of values, only an estimate of the standard deviation can be
found. The symbol s is usually used for the estimated standard deviation.
Suppose you have a set of n readings. Start by finding the average:
For the set of readings x={16, 19, 18, 16, 17, 19, 20, 15, 17 and 13}, the average is �̅� =
∑ 𝑥𝑖
𝑛
=
17.
Next find (𝑥𝑖 − �̅�)

Then 𝑠 = √
(𝑥𝑖−�̅�)

𝑛−1
= 2.21

In part C you are asked to determine the life time of the neutral particles from their
momentums.
The Σ− lifetime can be approximately determined using the measured values of the Σ− track
lengths. The average momentum of the Σ− particle can be found from its initial and fin

Describe a marker that indicates you have collaboratively ‘imagineered” a picture of life without the problem. In what way does this marker indicate the careseeker is in a willing position and ready for Phase Three?
Food for Thought:
When learning a new people skill or counseling technique, is it normal to “feel” awkward and fake? Use at least 1 example and thoughtfully explain how this “feeling” might be normalized.
TIPS:
Carefully Follow Meaning-Making Forum Guidelines & Tips!
Make sure to use headings (5) so that the most inattentive reader may easily follow your thoughts.
Use the annotated outline approach. Bullets should have concise, complete, well-developed sentences or paragraphs.
Foster a “noble-minded” climate for investigating claims through well-supported core assertions (i.e., consider the validation pattern of the Bereans; Acts 17:11).
Noticeably support assertions to facilitate further investigation and to avoid the appearance of plagiarism.
Since you have the required materials (e.g.,

Project Title: Michael Joseph Place, The place to be
Project Start Date: 25/7/2018
Projected Finish Date: 25/12/2018
Budget Information: $ 4,500.00
Project Manager: Student name,[email protected], 210- 105 - 6676
Business Need
The project manager will be hosting an evening lounge event that will be targeting the clientele to an upscale lounge to be built in downtown. Through such an event the city will have a positive exposure.
There will be need for effective marketing, music, modern décor and most likely investors. The menu for food and drinks will need to be within budget. The venue needs to have amiable space and adequate seats for all guests.
The first step to this project involves coming up with a plan on a piece of paper. Once this is done the next step will involve selection of vendors to various goods and services. Once everything has been put to perspective the next stage will be to involve investors who will include local business owners. These investors will be encouraged to do so with the exchange for them to market and advertise their products at the event. We will have three packages for investors including Silver, Gold and Platinum packages.
Project Objectives
The proposal is to have a social entertainment evening lounge in Chicago. The project managers will be showcasing the new concept of entertainment by holding a series of events known as “The Place to be!”
· The events will be used to showcase the atmosphere that the new lounge will be offering
· The events will offer the professional audiences an opportunity to network while at the same time being entertained.
· The events will be targeting an audience of 150 attendants
· To have an environment where attendants can dance, dine and drink socially while discussing business.
Approach
This project will be managed in accordance with the PMI approach as modified.
Assumptions/Constraints/Dependencies
The assumption is that with the provision of an exquisite and upscale venue that is mature in Chicago, IL, will be successful due to the fact that there is no such a venue within a 100 mile radius.
One of the likely constraint is finding a venue that grabs attention of the targeted crowd.
The success of these events depends on attracting two sets of individuals. One of them is investors and the other is private professionals who will attend a social event at night.
Initial Risk Factors
· Obtaining a liquor license on time for the event is the major risk factor.
· Failure of attendees despite investing money and time is another risk.
· Failing to complete the organizational plans within 30 days before the event series begin.
· Not attracting any viable investors
Regulatory cost/impact
One of the needed licensing is from the city council where I will be required to get a special event license. This will enable us to have alcohol i.

Mediation
Name
AMU
Date
Mediation
Recently, I had a dispute with a friend based on sharing of roles and duties at work. If I were to use a mediation to solve the conflict I would have used facilitative mediation instead of evaluative mediation. Facilitative mediation refers to the types of solving conflicts where the mediator creates a process to assist the parties in reaching into a mutual agreement. Evaluative mediation on the other hand refers to the type of mediation where the judge helps the parties in reaching into a resolution through using the weakness of the case (Shrout & Bolger, 2017). The nature of the dispute plays a very huge role when choosing the type of mediation style to use. Since some cases can not fit well or makes it hard to find a solution when using a certain mediation style. For instance work related disputes and family related disputes require mediation that won’t seem to favor one party.
I would use transformative mediation, since it is mostly bases on improving the personal power of each party (Folberg & Taylor, 2016). Also transformative mediation mainly helps in creating a sense of understanding between the two parties through communication so as to solve the dispute. And lastly the reason why I would use the mediation is because; the process that is used does not favor one party. During the process, the mediator listens to both parties and from this he or she is able to help in making the two understand each other and be able to come into a mutual agreement.

Response 1 PD
Question 1
A set of beliefs, norms and values that is shared by a group, culture is a systemic sense that can create a common commitment to an organization’s mission. With identifying markers that extend beyond the individual, it can be represented in a fabric of shared themes and feelings. Whether displayed in forms of dress, symbols, verbal phrases or typical behaviors, its permeance can be silent in its mode of action, yet quite visible to internal and external stakeholders (Daft, 2018).
Serving two fundamental and critical functions, the culture of an organization can be a catalyst in uniting members in how they relate to one another within the organization and how the members follow the same process in relation to the outside environment (Daft, 2018). However, although it is often associated with ethical decision making (Kara, Rojas-Mendez & Turan), the element of inequality can create fear and discourse if an unrealistic and bias culture themes are dictated, thus resulting in disagreement or conflict with management. Therefore, the perception of stakeholders or groups of interest regarding the cultural practices of the organization may not be entirely correct (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019).
Directly related to the perception of the value system of the organization and its management, the acceptable cultural differences that shape the internal behavior of members can have an impact in external relationships (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019). However, as Daft (2018) noted, a mechanistic or controlling system may block any organic input,.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Project PlanFor our Project Plan, we are going to develop.docx
1. Project Plan
For our Project Plan, we are going to develop a new information
system for a mid-size organization that will automate the
payroll transactions. Since we already have all the information
that the new system needed, we propose to use the Waterfall
Development Methodology because we are going from one
phase to the next.

Analysis
Estimated Projected Time Frame:
2. For Estimating the Project Time Frame, the project manager
will develop a preliminary estimation of how long it will take to
build the new system. There are several sources that the project
manager uses to estimate the time frame. First is they can take
it from projects that had similar tasks and technologies, an
experienced developers can provided the estimation, or the type
of methodology that is being used. It is a good practice to keep
track of actual time and effort values during the SDLC so the
data can be redefine and are used as a guide for future projects.
For now, I will use the Industry standard to estimate the project
time frame. Within the Industry standard for a typical business
application system, they will spends 15% of effort in the
planning phase, 20% in the analysis phase, 35% in the design
phase, and 30% in the implementation phase. With the planning
phase take 5 month to complete, then for the total project time
is 33.3 person-month to complete the project.

Developing the Work Plan:
3. Once the project schedule has been established, the project
manager can start creating a work plan for the project. The
work plan is a schedule that he projects manager use to keep
record and keep track of all the tasks that need to be
accomplished over the entire project. The project manager will
need to identify the entire task that are needed and determine
how long each of the tasks will take. Then the task will be
organized within the work breakdown structure. For the main
task to be complete, the subtask has to be completed first.
Staffing the Project:
The project manager needs to figure out how many staff is
needed for the project. The amount of staff is needed depend on
how fast they want to finish the project. Increase in staff does
not mean increases in productivity. If more staff is needed,
make sure to have some kind of reporting structure. The project
manager needs to know the staff capabilities and assign task
according to their skills. Project manager needs to know how to
motivate the staff for a project success.
Coordinating Project Activities:
The project manager needs to have activities put in place during
the entire SDLC. Activities are tools that is use to ensure that
he project stays on track and that the chance of failure is kept to
a minimum. Case Tools (computer-aided software engineering),
Standards, and Documentation are all activities that are use
within the SDLC cycle.

Data Models
Data modeling was established because DBMS (Database
Management Systems) and data needed to be specifically
structured in file systems that enabled better control and
5. handling of information and data sets. A data model therefore
can be defined as concept sets that describe operations carried
on and structure of information systems and databases (Navathe,
1992). One of the practical data modeling purposes is to serve
as a blueprint for the physical intended database. It also helps in
implementation of the system’s information access level
impacting strongly on modifiability and overall performance.
The activity of data modeling has become common in the
process of developing information systems which implement
database management technology to store information and
sensitive data. A data model is the result of graphically
represented data structures and interactions as well as their
relationships (Merson, 2009). Information systems’ data models
hold vital architectural information and they provide the
following useful functions:
· Providing a database structure creation blueprints
· Facilitating the inclusion of stakeholders in analysis and
collecting specific requirements
· Guide the actual coding of the database including setting
parameters for queries and database access.
· Providing the objects’ relationships and conceptual
descriptions
· Serving as input for the automatic production of records
access codes and schemas for the database
Distinguishing between the actual database and the database
description is very important in any application’s development.
This description of databases is designed by analyzing
requirements for users and applications and it is referred to as
Schema.Schemas sometimes undergo model to model
transformation during the database design process. The whole
6. activity involving producing definitions from requirements to
the implementable final DBMS database schema is called
schema design (Navathe, 1992).
Fig. 1 A conceptual database schema design diagram
Fig. 2 An example of network database schema
Purpose for Data Modeling
Data models are documentations and formalizations of events
and processes that exist during the design and development of
applications. Analysis and planning should precede the process
of data modeling. Determining database requirements is done
through analysis while planning defines the intended objectives
of the database, their importance and setting a path to achieve
the set goals (Mamčenko, 2004).
End user data requirements are accurately and completely
represented by effective data models which should be simple
and detailed enough for database designers to implement and
end users to understand. The data modeling process is bottom
7. up and basically independent of both software and hardware.
Data Modeling Scope
The scope of data models has been limited to schema design of
databases in the conventional sense and they have been for
modeling data static properties. Data modeling simply
illustrates data entity structures and the relationships involved
between them. In an information system, the different entities
dictate the architectural design. Relationships may determine
that a single employee can have more than one connection to
identifying attributes. In our case with the payroll system, it
will look like this;
Fig. 3 Payroll System Context Diagram
Database Design and Data Modeling
Designing databases requires the combined use of function
models and data models in the abstract design procedure. Data
models emphasize on database storage while function models
will deal with ways to process the data (Hall, 2011). Relational
tables in databases are developed from data models while on the
other side; queries to control operations and access of data in
the relational tables are designed using function models.
Analyzing Requirements
The main purpose for carrying an analysis is to;
· Determine executable transactions and the interaction between
transactions and data in the database
· Determine primitive objects’ data requirements
· Identify data integrity governing rules
8. · Describe and classify information on primitive objects
· Classify and categorize the objects’ relationships.
Data Modeling Abstraction Levels
The system development cycle involves a number of abstraction
levels ranging from defining classes, modeling formal
requirements to use case modeling. A three step approach to
database design and modeling that has been established well
throughout the years includes three levels. These core stages of
database design are;
a) Conceptual Level – the basic data entities and their
relationships are documented here.
b) Logic Level – here details of the implementation of the
entities and the specified relationships are omitted while clearly
defining both.
c) Physical Level – the database structure is defined here.
PAYROLL SYSTEM
A company’s payroll system can be equated to a special
purchase system where the item on sale is labor from
employees. The following reasons however explain the need for
payroll systems to have specialized measures. They include;
a) Procedures used in payroll systems differ from one class of
employee to the other. This simply means employee classes
could range from permanent and pensionable, hourly or part-
time, commissioned to piece work. The other processing
requirement is taxation.
b) Unlike activities usually involved in general expenditure,
businesses keep payroll activities and procedures as discrete as
possible.
c) Special control for writing employee checks is required and
9. payroll fraud is easy when both normal trading transactions are
combined with managing payroll systems.
The figure below simplifies the payroll system to two logical
steps. The key processes and relationships are shown.
The employees can have several attributes defining and
distinguishing each employee to separate and accurately
identify each employee as a single entity. An example is
illustrated below.
Fig. 5 Employee Context diagram
The payroll process can also on its own be expanded to;
Fig. 6 Payroll System level 0 DFD
Where;
· Process 1 (p1) – this is where different employee time cards
are collected and stored in the TCF (Time Card File). This
includes the total hours each employee works.
· Process 2 (p2) – the employee records are accessed to retrieve
EHWRs (Employee Hourly Wage Rates) corresponding to each
ETC (Employee Time Card) data and Gross Pay is calculated.
The formula used in the Gross Pay calculating process is
usually
· GP (Gross Pay) = Hours Worked * Hourly Wage Rate
· Process 3 (p3) – the input to this process includes the gross
10. pay passed from p2 and tax rates from the TRT (Tax Rate
Tables) file. These inputs are used to produce among other
things, the final net pay.
· Process 4 (p4) – the resulting payroll data from p3 is updated
into the employee’s file by p4 which it does using SPD
(Summary Payroll Data) to finally produce employee pay checks
and the related pay stubs.
Batch Systems and Data Processing
Due to the bulk involved in the simultaneous processes taking
place in the payroll system, it has become mandatory to use
batch processing in almost all sized business organizations.
Many businesses rely heavily on data processing to run daily
operations like account maintenance, invoicing and paying
salaries. Batch processing systems input data and output
information in batches in between databases and storage files.
The results are then either prepared for storage in the database
or computed for printing as shown below.
Fig. 7 Batch data processing system
For our proposed payroll system, the batch processing of data is
illustrated as;
With varying procedures in various payroll systems, the
proposed payroll system’s general errands will include the
following described major components (Hall, 2011).
i) Department of Personnel – this is where processed personnel
action forms are submitted after preparation onto the function
called “prepare payroll”. These PAFs (Personnel Action Forms)
are used to identify and determine valid employees, deductions
in payroll, changes in rates per hour as well as job group or
classification.
ii) Department of Production - here two time records are
11. prepared: time cards which capture the employee’s time at work
used to calculate their paychecks and job tickets which capture
time spent on production jobs by each employee. These
documents are implemented by cost accounting for direct labor
allocation charges to accounts called WIP (Work In Process).
iii) WIP Account Update – the LDS (Labor Distribution
Summary) which is basically a summary of labor costs
generated by cost accounting and allocated to the WIP accounts,
is passed to the GL (General Ledger) function.
iv) Payroll Preparation – the department of production sends
data about hours worked for each employee while the
department of personnel sends taxation and pay rate data to the
payroll department. A clerk working in the payroll department
therefore performs the following;
a. Payroll register preparation which shows deductions, gross
pay, overtime pay and lastly the net pay.
b. The clerk then submits the above information into the EPR
(Employee Payroll Records).
c. Preparation of pay checks for employees
d. Sending pay checks to the function distributing paychecks.
e. Filing a payroll register copy, personal action forms and time
cards.
v) Paycheck Distribution – many companies employ a pay
master who is independent of both preparation and authorization
of paychecks and is used to distribute paychecks. This prevents
fraud in payroll by submitting nonexistent employees’ time
cards. All unclaimed paychecks by valid employees are taken
back to payroll for further investigations.
vi) Accounts Payable preparation – the clerk in charge reviews
payroll registers and prepares vouchers to pay out funds for the
payroll’s amount once confirmed for correctness. The voucher
12. is then recorded into the voucher register after which the
combined packet (payroll register and voucher) is submitted to
funds disbursement. The general ledger also receives a duplicate
of the payout voucher.
vii) Cash Disbursement Preparation – when the cash
disbursement function receives the voucher packet, it combines
the whole payroll pay outs into one amount which it deposits
into the PIA (Payroll Imprest Account). A journal voucher is
finally prepared and passed on to the GL (General Ledger)
function.
The General ledger is then updated using information from
Accounts Payable’s payment voucher, the journal voucher and
summaries of labor distribution from cost accounting. The
above information can be modeled into the following design
when implemented (Hall, 2011).
Fig. 9 Payroll Procedures Data Flow Diagram
PHYSICAL PAYROLL SYSTEM
Manual Payroll System
The above procedures can be represented in manual system
context thereby providing the following clarifications;
· Two different sources send information on hours worked by
employees and authorization of payrolls to the payroll
department. They are production and personnel.
· Distribution of paychecks by the payroll department to the
employees after reconciling the information received above and
calculates payrolls.
· Information about time spent from production on each job is
sent to cost accounting and posted to WIP (Work In Process)
accounts.
13. Fig. 10 Manual payroll system
Fig. 11 a continuation of the Manual payroll system
Computer Based Payroll Systems
A payroll system is usually automated using batch data
processing because it is run periodically on a monthly or a
weekly basis. A hard copy of the job tickets, personnel action
forms and job cards is received and digitized for batch
computers applications to perform checks on thorough record
storage, GL functions and check writing. Figure 8 shows a
detailed batch processing computer based payroll systems (Hall,
2011).
Fig. 12 Payroll System Procedures showing real-time elements
UNDERSTANDING PAYLINES AND PAYSHEETS
Paylines
A payline consists of:
· Employee name.
· Benefit record number.
· Employee ID.
· Line number.
· Manual check indicator.
14. · Employment record number (used for multiple jobs).
Paylines are associated with one or sometimes more PE (Pay
Earnings) records. Each PE record associated with a payline
includes the information below:
· Regular pay amount.
· Number of ordinary hours.
· Supplementary pay.
· Additional income.
· Information on Taxation.
· Job data such as job code and department.
Note: every employee listed for pay during a pay phase must
have at least one Pay Earnings record and one payline.
Otherwise the system will have no data with which to compute
salary, taxes, and subtractions.
Paysheets
A paysheet brings together different information from the
system and when accessed it displays a payline for every
employee are listed. Paysheets are arranged by lines and pages
and every member of staff appears on a different line that
encloses regular compensation information which include
regular working hours, job data and regular salary.
Summary
15. In conclusion we can revisit the data modeling concept as the
first step in database design and creation. Information collected
during the analysis of the requirements is used to develop the
initial models with the objective of classifying and identifying
data objects together with their relationships. Database schemas
are then developed from the successful definition of all entities
and how they interact in numerous processes. Data modeling is
vital for any development of information systems especially
when they are database driven which constitutes many of the
common implemented systems in modern data processing
organizations (Mamčenko, 2004).
