IV. Production and Technical Aspects
Technical Description
The project plans on producing services that focuses on giving consultation to our clients regarding their program codes. These consultations will give a detailed discussion on the problem of the client. The discussion includes the interpretation of the company’s
personnel
regarding
the
client’s
program.
Also
included
is
the
recommendation of the attendant to the client on what the client can do in his program. This recommendation will include a diagram in the form of a Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is a diagram used by programmers when they plan their programs. As the report is finished, the document will be sent to the client via e-mail. Any additional consultation can be made through e-mail or the forum, which is where members of the company and possible clients can discuss freely any possible concerns.
Tools for Production
The service will need multiple computer units. These computer units will be the primary tool of the company as the service that the company offers needs it in order to communicate with the clients and in order to create the discussion document that will be sent to the client. Each division of the company will be given the computer units. The computer unit will be composed of the basic computer components such as the monitor, the keyboard, and the CPU. Other components such as the printer, modems, and
routers will be a part of the unit as well. Internet connection will also be needed since the company is internet based. Software will be bought such as the operating system for the computer and the computer applications needed by the employees. The consultations, which are the main service the company will be rendering to its clients, will be given to them in a form of a document called the discussion. It will be sent through the e-mail of the client. The discussion will be sent once the attendant of the problem finishes analyzing and makes the documentation with the interpretation and recommendation. The discussion will only guide the client, because our aim is to let the client figure out the problem as a whole, while the discussion provides a guide in which the client can follow.
Plant Location
The company will be situated along Katipunan Ave. in Quezon City. It will occupy a 100 square meter commercial lot that the company will rent for a monthly rate of Php 60,000. The location is very accessible because it is along the avenue road, which jeepneys pass by. It can be also accessed by riding the LRT-2 since it is very near the Katipunan Station. The location has no parking space, since it isn’t part of the lease conditions with the owners of the space. The location is surrounded by other commercial establishments in the food industry. With that, it can be said that there are no competitors nearby the location. Though the only disadvantage the location has is the traffic nearby the avenue road, especially during rush hour. Traffic can be described as heavy during these hours, which might cause inconvenience through clients who want to visit the company during those said hours.
