MAIN BODY
SECTION 4: SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT MODELS
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a mechanism for the design,
creation, testing and deployment of information systems in system architecture, information
systems and software Engineering (Sanchez and Terlizzi, 2017). There are various modules
that the company TOYOTA can use. Certain of these are Waterfall, Iterative and V-Model .
4.1 Review of appropriate systems development models
Waterfall
The waterfall solution, this model entails a rigid framework which at the beginning of
a project requires all system specifications to be specified. Only then will the production and
design phases start.
Iterative
The iterative approach repeatedly picks up the waterfall model and cycles it. Each
stage is turned into many mini-projects that can add value as the product progresses, rather
than extending the whole project over the SDLC phases.
V-Model

The iterative approach repeatedly picks up the waterfall model and cycles it (Beynon-
Davies, 2016). Each stage is turned into many mini-projects that can add value as the product
progresses, rather than extending the whole project over the SDLC phases.
4.2 Selection of the most suitable model for the organisation
In relation to Toyota the best suitable method is V-Model, this is used in order to meet
needs and perform task in effective way. This is used as there are number of benefits the
research architecture takes place well before coding, with simple and easy to use along with
testing tasks such as preparation (Lin, Chang and Tsai, 2016). It saves a great deal of time.
This makes the waterfall concept more likely to succeed. In the early stages, Therefore,
Proactive error detection, errors may be identified. This method is also Avoids deficiency
downward surge.
4.3 Description of how the model will be implemented by the organisation
This model can be impacted in different stages, these are discussed below:
 Architecture Design: During this point, standards will be established for how the
application connects all the different elements, whether internally or externally. This
is also called high-level architecture.
 Module Design: This process consists of all low-level device design and
comprehensive requirements for implementing all practical, coded business logic,
including templates, modules, interfaces, etc.
 Implementation/Coding: The actual coding and installation takes place at this point
halfway through the phases of the process. This timeframe should be as long as
possible for all concept and specification documents previously produced to be
converted into a coded, usable framework. This process should be completed after the
test phase’s start.
 Unit Testing: Now the mechanism reverses the far side of the V-Model, beginning
with unit tests established during the design phase. Ideally, the large number of
possible bugs and problems should be eliminated at this stage, and the project is then
the longer testing stage.

 Integration Testing: Testing carried out during the architectural design process
ensures that the structure operates through all modules and integrations with third
parties.
 System Testing: Next studies are carried out, mostly focused on success tests and
regression tests
SECTION 5: DIGITAL BUSINESS MODELS
A digital business model is a method of value creation focused on consumer benefit
growth using digital technology. The objective of the digital approach is to provide a major
benefit to be paid by the consumers.
5.1 Overview of appropriate digital models for the specific sector
THE EXPERIENCE MODEL
All of it is about bringing a special experience to customers for whom they are ready
to pay decent cash. Think of Tesla. For instance In Tesla, Elon Musk has developed an
exclusive commodity (Lin, Hsu and Chiang, 2016). The company and its CEO are benefiting
from the popularity of the experience they have not only, but also how numerically
revolutionary Tesla is regardless of how creative and experienced it is. This model is useful
to satisfy needs and conduct task in effective way.
ACCESS-OVER-OWNERSHIP MODEL
This corporate model concerns a theory of "sharing." here , firm pay to use the
product/service, but it is not for company, it just have control. This is one of the most
innovative market models because it offers the same experience as buying, but without the
consequences of ownership.
5.2 Description of an appropriate model that is in place at the organisation
In context of Toyota, it is a retail firm where the most suitable method for this firm is
the experience model. This will helps in meeting needs and performing task in effective way
by using an innovative approach. This model is suitable as it have following befits.
Enhanced data collection, Greater resource management, Data-driven customer insight and
easy to use.
5.3 Reflection on how the model is implemented and its impact on the organisation
This model can be implemented by following steps mentioned below:
 Establish the New Business Process
 Identify the Key Technologies
 Decipher the Paradigm of Innovation
 Construct a Talent Pool
 Define a Roadmap
 Determine KPIs

SECTION 6: BUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Toyota business information system is an appropriate and updated system where
company use decision support system in order to maintain appropriate supply chain
management and achieve its objectives and effective way (Hadidi and Power, 2019).
6.1 Review of the organisation’s Business Information Systems
In the current changing business environment company is using an appropriate system
where it performs its function in different stages. These stages are related to problem
identification implementation search information system needs system design documentation
and testing. All these functions are performed in a well-established way where Toyota can
achieve better results.
6.2 Description of core business operations supported by these systems
There are different core business operations with support and appropriate business
information system in Toyota. These are supply chain management, human resources
management and other part of organisation which help in performing the activities and
providing information regarding working of this business information system.
6.3 Explanation of the infrastructure and resources required for these systems
In order to manage the business information system in the organisation there are
different types of resources and appropriate infrastructure which is required to be developed
by Toyota. It can be analysed on the functioning of Toyota that it is using an appropriate
information system where the major resources required to the functioning are cost finance
and management staff.
SECTION 7: GLOBALISATION ISSUES
Globalisation is that part of organisation which is related to expanding the function of
organisation and meeting with different economies in order to work together and achieve the
common objectives.
7.1 Reflection on the organisation’s readiness for enter global markets
In context of the current time globalisation is helpful function for the organisation to
enter within the global market and sell its products and services. In context of Toyota it is a
global organisation which is performing its function in more than 11 Nations. This directly
reflects the capability of Toyota in in global markets and its readiness.
7.2 Evaluation of the organisation’s infrastructure maturity for globalisation
In order to this it is identify the company is using an appropriate infrastructure in
order to meet the requirements of globalisation. Company using different kind of
international standards in its products and services where it can offer the products in different
countries and can maintain an appropriate system to work on.

7.2 Evaluation of the organisation’s infrastructure maturity for globalisation
In this company can also use different kind of information system as well as
systematic development models which will help the company in bringing flexibility in its
workforce and adopting globalisation as a key factor of success.
