Object-Oriented Analysis and Design for Dairy Production

The aim of this research is to focus the DFG of companies use management information systems which is located in Asia pacific region. The methodology explains the methods to collect and analyze the information. It explains the ethical considerations of the research. The methodology for the implementation of the MIS is given, a methodology will be followed for the effective utilization of information system in the DFG. The effectiveness of the project information system is attained by the objectives of the system. The massive effort to connect with an exact setup of a Management Information System (MIS) is being analyzed.

The dairy production is dynamic therefore the scheme cannot be accurately represented by ordinary linear models. To define the making dynamic ordinary data additional comprehensive and  exactly, the Object-Oriented Analyses and Design is used. OOAD is one of the Software Engineering method that models a scheme as a collection of interrelating objects. Such as like tractors, feed mixers, cows all are certain objects and categorized based on its class, its state that is age and its activities (Griffiths, 2016).

The two major research strategy types namely qualitative and quantitative. The quantitative research strategy emphasize analysis and collection of numerical research data whereas the qualitative research emphasize words in analysis and collection of data  (Joshi and Seshagiri, 2010).

The qualitative research uses inductive method that means emphasis set on creation of theories via research instead of testing. The quantitative research utilize deductive method that test the theories via research  (Keller, 2008).

The case study methodology used as primary research techniques to understand the case study farmers using management information system (Guide to good dairy farming practice, 2011).

Every management field such as finance, marketing human resources and production is separated into subsystems for evaluating the management information system utilized by the case study farm. The management information system multifaceted nature is described by subsystem by the activities namely data collection, output and processing. It is used for compliance and decision making  (K. Verma and sapre, 2015). During the process of qualitative analysis research, the subsystem were well mannered to produce the clear outline of why and how management information system are implemented  (Morris and Potter, 2013)

The farm case study covers the decision, information and data. The effects are showed by using tables which is created from interview process to describe the information, data, compliance and decision; informal and formal management information system component, who determines, collects or utilize it; and frequency of collection and usage.

Quantitative vs Qualitative Research Strategies

 

                                                  Classification of components

The evidence for the case study is collected from the sources namely farm property 1 hour direct observation; 2 hour semi structured interview; and case study questionnaire. The 2nd structured interview takes place through phone call. It will be lasted by half an hour. It provides chance for data triangulation using corroborating data to enhance the study construct validity. The factual and personal factual questions are involved regards to the basic information about farm. The questionnaire attached the study statement of MIS and exterior surrounding data flow diagram. The semi structured interview resembles direct conversation by using stand of fundamental case study questions. I relates the management information system usage as an interview guide for every case study.

The ethical consideration is considers for the following reasons.

1. It secure the participants from harm
2. It provide knowledgeable consent.
3. Secure from the contestant deception occurrence.

The evidence and the report about the contestant and the function of the farming was created with the ethical consideration.

For this methodology, a numerous case outline with a solitary unit of examination for each case is chosen. This plan can give additionally convincing confirmation by providing numerous information focuses and rich portrayals. A meeting was with the connected research group head, showcasing chief, and territorial deals manager and observed an exhibit of the system, visited retail stores that utilization the framework in two countries and review is done of?cial specialized and advertising documentation. Reviewed scholastic investigations directed about the ef?ciency of the framework in warmth and tainting discovery (David, 2010). The interviews took after a scripted arrangement of open-finished inquiries. Follow-up questions were asked when clari?cations were required. The inquiries were expressed so as to be “neutral” with the goal that the respondent would not be directed to noting a specific way. Each of the meetings took about two hours. One site visit and demo took an extra two hours, and the second site visit took around three hours. After the meetings, each of the creators coded their notes independently. The investigation comes about were thought about for consistency. We discovered near 90% between rater understanding. Irregularities were settled by line up E-sends with particular interviewees. The ?nal paper was sent to each subject for his or her survey and comments. If fundamental, facilitate E-sends were utilized to clear up vulnerabilities (Eldesouky et al., 2016).

Case Study Methodology for Dairy Production

The business function that is designed to provide the data transaction inn DFG is not good. After analyzing the dilemma it was found that the issues was in two systems that in store system and the operation system. Each store has their own LAN so they did not interface with the operating system. The key issue of the DFG is that the current MIS system was unable for the data transaction among different retail stores, on the other hand some stake holders face the trouble for accessing the corporate information from the remote location. This also results in the increase of the maintenance cost of DFG  (Sej-Kolasa, 2010).

A conceptual model that describes the system is termed as system model. It hold multiple view such as design implementation input data and the output data. All the system model of the MIS in DFG is given in the following system models (Wouters, 2008).

The subset of the business idea demonstrate is bit by bit (iteratively) reached out with plan choices. It ought to be anything but difficult to set up the genealogy from a plan protest the business idea show (Flint et al., 2017). The arrangement demonstrate must be visual and the structures being pictured ought to take after the structure of the business idea show. It ought to be generally simple to set up the ancestry from the physical model to the arrangement information show and further on to the business idea display (Hughes, 2016).

A main decision of every farmer is made, just how far of their information is dignified into computerized form. The information of each farmers is managed such as their detect livestock and crops. performance and production information are achieved for milk herd development members to regulate the Dairy farm procedure of the management information system (MIS).The MIS is used in dairy to improve the performance. The production increase of the Dairy farm is achieved by MIS. The health management of cows is difficult for farmers.so many software are introduced to improve the dairy herd management. By using the software the herd disease is identified. The cloud databases the mastitis detection device, and the information display device is used in the dairy farm. By using the mastitis detection method, one could detect and estimate the grade of mastitis earlier the milking processes is recognized. The Information Display Device displays information of dairy cattle health. This information is obtained from a cloud database to accomplish the milk manufacture of a dairy farmhouse.  At the similar period, the capacity, speed and portability of system hardware is increased, but costs is decreased. The introduced software motivating the veterinarians and dairy herd managers. Extensive adoption will arise, because the information is generated over the usage of these structures. This leads to the development of effectiveness of dairy manufacture. In the previous, only limited amount of herd data is available. It reduces the understanding of issues that impact herd performance. The MIS is used to review the previous records of the dairy farm. By reviewing that record, the dairy consultants could made gainful decisions, to provide the   complete and accurate information. The MIS in dairy farm is needed to,

• Usage a previous implementation appraisal process to modify, evaluates, and monitors the system as required.
• Regulate whether an opportunity exists.
• Improve a project managing idea and attain management support.
• Examine the data requirements of final users, the administrative environment, and any system shortly used.
• Improve specifications for the people, software, data resources, network, hardware, and information yields.

Benefits and Challenges of MIS in Dairy Production

The management software incorporates a Cloud Database and GUI (Graphical User Interface).By using this farmer could simply update and search the data about the healthiness of the cows via the network. The benefits of the structure comprise decreasing the hazard of milking a cow with mastitis, the prompt analysis for mastitis to inform health info, and enlightening the value of manufactured milk. The Management Information System (MIS) is acts like a model. It could simulate altered scenarios. To work out it in the local context, the model is validated and calibrated when constant information collection till every data is modified to apt the condition on the farmhouse. The cows in the farm are prepared by a tag named as Pedometer. This pedometer has many sensors and the identification number for the animal. By clicking the identification number, the information about the corresponding animal is shown at the window. The general events, conception rate, calving date, feed consumption, insemination date and weight gain of the animal are stored in the MIS. The MIS provide more benefits to the dairy farm  (Berger and Hovav, 2013).

Conclusions & Recommendations

The MIS (Management Information System) have progressively improved in their level of complexity as they need to involved new methodologies with internet connectivity is the newest addition, the presentation of ICT method in Dairy business is become a essential requirement convoyed this process, that includes the stages of Research, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and Maintenance. A refined Management Information System can be an important involvement to achieve better Management decisions. It allows farmers to simply access all the information that are essential for the farms cost-effectiveness. The lowest requirements for such a Management Information System are: Data collection or Monitoring, Scenario Analysis or Planning, Target Actual Comparisons or Controlling, Profit Expansion or Identification of optimization abilities

Though, one has to be consider the massive effort to connect with an exact setup of a Management Information System (MIS). An Internal exchange of good or non-marketable foods (Example: crop-rotation) and a detailed cost accounting as the base of some factors, that have to be considered. Furthermore, when it derives to optimizations i.e. profit expansion, a distribution optimum for the full farm is tough to identify, meanwhile the scare resources are differ from production process to productions process. The Proposed Stakeholder Analysis and Management is discussed. And The Requirements Methodology is described in detail. The diagram drawn for Candidate Evaluation Methodology and also discussed. Then the Risk Analysis and Risk Management Strategies are described.

It is observed that the important developments in dairy farm groups functions and profitability is obtained by constructing corporate MIS which is supported by proper communication and technology infrastructure. It promotes the manager to approach business information in different methods as a result of that enabling decision making process. The management information system provides to create electronic commerce with customers and business partners.

The recommendations are as follows

The Dairy Farm Groups can importantly enhance the customer satisfaction and sales by supporting electronic retailing as subset of retailing operation. It is recommended that the store functions in physical and electronic environments (Takahara and Liu, 2010).

The recommended features in the electronic store application is as follows

1. It should provide retail capability.
2. The operation suggested for the introduction in application include product purchasing, purchase methods, purchase history, product browsing, personalized customer service and purchase status.
3. It should interface with basic units connected to retail function namely customers, distribution centers, head office, vendors and financial institutions.
4. It should be web based retail system by using client server architecture.
5. It focus at producing internet based home shopping system.

The Dairy Farm Groups has 3 categorization of mobile users with 3 requirements such as travelling employee, task oriented mobile users and telecommuters for mobile services. It is suggested that costumers should be provided with protected, location independent access to business information resources. The features should be secure, manageable, and usable and provisioned at acceptable cost.

It is suggested that the Dairy Farm Group should improve the data marts and data warehouse to promote decision making and data analysis (Carneiro et al., 2016).

It is suggested that well organized analysis of the needed technical skills be created and required recruitment schemes and training plans be charted out.

It is suggested that, it is significant for Dairy Farm Group to possess integrated group of applications in every business unit. It enable the data interchange over the business operations. It is suggested that the store application interact with the operating system namely warehousing, finance, human resources and merchandising (Withrow, 2014).

It is suggested that the applications, established in mainframe environment. It should be ported and rewritten on the current n-tire client server architecture. For supporting the rewritten application, it is suggested that organizational intranet is improved in Local Area Network at stores should be interlinked with other via wide area network and common gateway interfaces.
