5 ASPEK KELAYAKAN SISTEM INFORMASI MANAJEMEN (SIM) | ANSHAR AKIL

Summary

The video outlines the essential steps in conducting a feasibility study for implementing an information system within an organization. It covers five key aspects: technological feasibility (hardware, software, and network choices), economic feasibility (cost-benefit analysis), legal feasibility (compliance with regulations), operational feasibility (alignment with organizational structure and goals), and social feasibility (ensuring societal acceptance and minimizing negative impact). The goal is to ensure the system's long-term success and its ability to improve efficiency, productivity, and integration within both the organization and the wider community.

Takeaways

• 😀 Technological feasibility is crucial when selecting the right hardware and software for an information system.
• 😀 Assessing the available technology and determining its long-term suitability for the organization is essential.
• 😀 Economic feasibility should consider not only initial costs but also ongoing maintenance and operational costs.
• 😀 The system’s benefits must outweigh its costs, improving efficiency, productivity, and organizational effectiveness.
• 😀 Legal feasibility ensures that the chosen technology and processes comply with relevant laws and regulations.
• 😀 Operational feasibility is about making sure the system can be managed effectively within the organization's structure and culture.
• 😀 The system should address organizational problems and contribute to growth, efficiency, and productivity.
• 😀 Social feasibility requires that the system is accepted by society and does not cause negative impacts or backlash.
• 😀 The adaptation of society to the new system should be carefully considered to avoid disrupting existing processes.
• 😀 Benefits of the system should not only be physical (e.g., profit) but also intangible, like improving consumer trust or internal synergy.
• 😀 Thorough investigation of these aspects ensures a balanced approach to implementing an information system, leading to successful deployment.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the feasibility study when implementing an information system?

The main focus is to evaluate the viability of the system by assessing technological, economic, legal, operational, and social aspects to ensure that the system will meet the organization's needs and provide value.

Why is it important to consider technological feasibility when implementing an information system?

Technological feasibility is important because the system must be compatible with the available hardware and software, and it must be able to function effectively using current technology. It also ensures the system remains useful over time as technology evolves.

What are the key technological aspects to consider in a feasibility study?

Key technological aspects include hardware requirements (e.g., number of computers and network infrastructure), software needs (e.g., selecting appropriate software for the organization), and the overall system architecture including security and network design.

How does economic feasibility impact the decision to implement a system?

Economic feasibility impacts the decision by assessing the costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and operating the system. The expected benefits must outweigh these costs in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity improvements.

What are the benefits that a successful information system implementation can bring to an organization?

Benefits include both tangible and intangible improvements, such as cost savings, increased productivity, enhanced discipline, better customer trust, improved operational efficiency, and the ability to streamline processes and reduce manual work.

Why is it important for the information system to be legally compliant?

It is important for the system to be legally compliant to avoid legal issues, ensure proper handling of transactions, and prevent the organization from violating laws or regulations, which could lead to fines or reputational damage.

What does operational feasibility entail in the context of a feasibility study?

Operational feasibility involves assessing whether the system can be successfully integrated into the organization's operations, considering factors like organizational culture, staff readiness, and whether the system will address existing challenges effectively.

How should an organization ensure that a new system is compatible with its operational culture?

The organization must evaluate how the new system fits with its structure, values, and workflows. This includes ensuring the system can be easily adopted by employees and that it supports the organization's goals and operations.

What does social feasibility refer to in the implementation of an information system?

Social feasibility refers to how the system will affect society, including whether it will be accepted by the public, how it will impact employees, and whether it will cause any social or environmental issues like increased pollution or disruptions in daily operations.

Why is considering the social impact of an information system important during its implementation?

Considering the social impact is important to ensure that the system is beneficial not only to the organization but also to the broader community, and that it does not lead to negative societal consequences, such as employee dissatisfaction or environmental harm.
