Task 2.1: Stakeholders and Drivers
Stakeholder identification
The main stakeholder of ArchiFarm are the retailers, clients, employees, suppliers,
maintenance contractors and feed producers. The distributer contracted with the company is
involved for fetching and shipping the milks in refrigerated containers for wholesale. The
retailer takes the product from the distributer and wholesales to the local and the international
markets (Huang et al. 2015). There are many company employees and majority of the
consumer are the local consumer.
Drivers
There are many drivers that are responsible for gaining profit such as selection of the
suitable technology and management of the short terms as well as long term goals of the
organization. For the production site that not have the automated milking system the
production should be analysed for replacing the current system with the automated system.
The immediate replacement should be avoided the company should focus on the long term
goals by analysing the PLF technology, growth of the share market and maintenance cost of
the units (Chorafas 2016). The installation cost of the automated technology for the smaller
site should be analysed for analysing the return of investment and increase the efficiency of
the organization.
Goals
The project have the goal to stabilize the price and increase the productivity for each
of its site. The system is developed for the management of the contract with the supplier and
the distributer and analyse the suitability of the recent technology that can be applied for the
development of the information system.
