Analytical hierarchy process?
369700
Analytical Hierarchy Process\n\nAHP is especially suitable for complex decisions which involve the comparison of decision elements which are difficult to quantify. It is based on the assumption that when faced with a complex decision the natural human reaction is to cluster the decision elements according to their common characteristics.\n\nIt involves building a hierarchy (Ranking) of decision elements and then making comparisons between each possible pair in each cluster (as a matrix). This gives a weighting for each element within a cluster (or level of the hierarchy) and also a consistency ratio (useful for checking the consistency of the data).\n\nThe Analytical Hierarchy Process Model was designed by TL Saaty as a decision making aid.\n\nSaaty TL, 1980, The Analytic Hierarchy Process, NY, McGraw Hill.

There are some useful links here. In different issues when you want to have the QA ... there are some factors and criteria's which should be defined. Both in constructing the product and also after the final phases. In web base software, the way you document your analyze and design, your testing procedures, and also the performance of your site is important. You can find related aspects in the following link:\nhttp://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/Web-Quality

System evaluation by the analyst, is very week, since the analyst is the one who knows exactly how the application have to work, and he will do every step exactly the way it is supposed to be, and that way is dificult to discover bugs or wrong functionality.\nSystem evaluation by an independent evaluation team, can be a good option, but only if the evaluation team knows very well the functionality that is required by the system.\nSystem evaluation by the client organization, should be done at final stage, and it's supposed to be done, where you and the evaluation team have done the work and you are pretty sure that there won't be almost any errors.

Conceptually, this is a simple task.  Identify the business unit's core process while simultaneously identifying the problems with it.  Determine the problem with either the greatest ROI (if cash is immediately required), maximum visibility (if you need to establish credibility), or least risk (if you doubt top management support) and fix that one first.\n\nIn reality, this is very difficult if not impossible for someone inside an organization to do because of questions about management support, access and control over available resources, political resistance, etc.

The question is very deep rooted................ // it cannot be answered so shortly.............\n\nBasically effective HRP process requires that this follows the mission/ vision and the future intent of the company........

It's kind of a phased approach where one item follows another. It's general to software methodologies and not really specific to BI. There's a good diagram and some discussion in the link below.

I would guess "hierarchical" because of the reference to "top management".

I know of a website which offers a Six Sigma manual and Question bank among many other things. Try visiting it and see if it suits your needs.\nwww.treqna.com

Decision making is the process of choosing a preferred option or course of action from among a set of alternatives. Decision making permeates all aspects of life, including decisions about what to buy, whom to vote for, or what job to take. Decisions often involve uncertainty about the external world (e.g., What will the weather be like?), as well as conflict regarding one’s own preferences (e.g., Should I opt for a higher salary or for more leisure?). The decisionmaking process often begins at the information-gathering stage and proceeds through likelihood estimation and deliberation, until the final act of choosing. One can distinguish three approaches to the analysis of decision making: normative, descriptive, and prescriptive. The normative approach assumes a rational decision-maker who has well-defined preferences that obey certain axioms of rational behavior. This conception, known as RATIONAL CHOICE THEORY, is based primarily on a priori considerations rather than on empirical observation. The descriptive approach to decision making is based on empirical observation and on experimental studies of choice behavior. It is concerned primarily with the psychological factors that guide behavior in decision-making situations. Experimental evidence indicates that people’s choices are often at odds with the normative assumptions of the rational theory. In light of this, the prescriptive enterprise focuses on methods of improving decision making, bringing it more in line with normative desiderata.

When you are creating new processes, you use the DMADV method (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, verify), instead of the typical DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).  There are a number of books for both Six Sigma and DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) which should get you on your way.\n\nI like the author Pyzdek, but there are a ton of books and authors out there- search Amazon or go to your local bookstore.

Step 1. Identify the problem.\nStep 2. Brainstorm possible solutions.\nStep 3. Analyze solutions and select the best.

Work on logic games; that can help with general reasoning. \n\nWhat are you trying to analyze? Work situations? Shipping? Personnel? There's a lot of books and resources, some probably available at your library, that give strategy for various aspects of business. Sorry I can't be more precise, but your question is very broad.

You probably mean transactional analysis, developed by Eric Berne.  See http://www.itaa-net.org/ta/index.htm

Repeating the same questions is an excellent method of achieving quality.  It is called "auditing".  You audit the organization's ability to follow the defined processes.
