What does System analysis try to achieve? Let’s discuss! 1A

A system analysis is “the process of studying a procedure or business to identify its goals and purposes and create systems and procedures that will efficiently achieve them.” It is a problem-solving technique that breaks down each step of a process. A great resource to determine how well the parts are working in a process and how each step interacts to accomplish their goal. A great way of doing system analysis is a system architecture that breaks down a business process into different components. An example of a system analysis is swim lanes, which is a way to document a procedure and a visual representation of a business process. This helps MIS professionals solve and identify new or existing problems. In class, we worked on a swim lane to break down the process of managing cake inventory at Cold Stone from start to finish. Through this process, we were able to identify each role of the actors involved and how to get to the final product of a decorated cake. I believe that swim lanes are necessary for all businesses with a product or service to figure out what strategy is the most efficient and where there are problems in the system.
