INTRODUCTION
The report is based on EDS case study that will design as management problem solving and
evaluation. The documentation will describe about the Soft system methodology and Value
stream mapping methodology. These will provide an opportunity for DDS firm to identify the
issue or problem. The organization will consider issue in execution in which implement an
appropriate methodology in proper manner. The documentation will focus on the justification on
the use of Soft system methodology and evaluate that how it will suitable for project
development. It provide the better facilities and services to customer, increasing the revenue of
DDS firm in global marketplace. Furthermore, it will describe the different action that participate
to examine accurate result or outcome. However, it will identify the various stages of both VSM,
SSM methodologies for developing an efficient system. In order to fix errors, bugs into the
current system in proper manner.
TASK
Discuss about the chosen one or more methodologies such as soft systems methodology and
VSM.
In order to undertake a project there are various types of methodologies which is applied.
But it depends on type and nature of project that what methodology is suitable in it. Also, it is
necessary to solve problem within business so that its growth is not affected. For this there are
different types of methodologies which can be used. Thus, the two of them is described as below:
SSM (Soft system methodology)
It is a type of method or technique to structure complex problem and also develop
desirable, feasible change within group of people. It is an important technique which consists of
heterogeneous group of developers, users, employees and customer. This method is transforming
real life process to system architecture design where it can easily gather or collect information
from different sources. Companies are following the step to gather sensitive information but use
as a primary option.
Soft system methodology is consider an approach in the organization which help for
process modelling. It provide the facility to resolve issue or problem in change management. It is
mainly focused on the interactive plan development which help for examining performance as
well as efficiency of system. SSM methodology was developed by using earlier system
engineering and its primary use to analyse complex situation. Each and every condition depend
