IS Analysis
Hardware: (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
Hardware definition: The actual mechanical tools, machinery, and devices that house the data and instructions for computer programs and applications are referred to as hardware. "Electronic components and related gadgetry that input, process, store, and communicate data according to instructions encoded in computer programs or software," according to the definition included in the MIS language.
In addition to the necessary hardware that OSM employees use in their daily work, such as cabinets, monitors, keyboards, data storage,and motherboards, the company has a hardware called The ZStack Cube that supports the operation of processes.
The ZStack Cube hyper-converged all-in-one machine: In order to create a local cloud resource pool, uniformly integrate data center resources, create a single data dedicated cloud platform, and enable the management of multiple data centers via a set of management interfaces, OSM uses the ZStack Cube hyper-converged all-in-one machine, a hardware and software integrated device. The company's demands for sustainable business development are supported and management efficiency is increased via the unified management and operation of both private and public cloud resources.
CPU: (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
Definition: The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that acts as its “control center.”
OSM uses the Phytium brand of CPUs, which are the top six CPUs made in China. Phytium CPU has the characteristics of complete pedigree, high performance, perfect ecology, and a high degree of autonomy, providing core computing power support for various types of devices from the end to the cloud. For high-performance desktop CPUs, OSM uses the D2000 type. The D2000 is an octa-core processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.3GHz. It supports up to 64GB storage, and solid-state storage (SSD).
Software：(Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
Definition: Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific tasks.
Application software: (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
Application software, also simply referred as "APP," is a written program created with the intention of carrying out a certain operation or function for the end user.
OSM has two different kinds of soft applications. Both of them are horizontal apps.
One is a professional beauty app, which is to provide consumers with a professional and comprehensive platform for purchasing, experiencing and evaluating beauty products. Users can preview a variety of new products, and there are special beauty consultation and color trial functions, so that you can have a clear understanding and choice before purchasing, so as to avoid your "blind purchase, regret it" trouble.
In this app, users can post their beauty experiences, share skincare tips, exchange beauty tips with each other, and even participate in various online events organized by OSM. It truly achieves real-time and enthusiastic user interaction, which also enables users to enjoy the fun of shopping and improve their beauty skills. This is also in line with OSM's customer-focused company philosophy.
Another one is called OSM headline. OSM headline app is a platform that provides official information under Zhejiang OSM Group, which is mainly to provide news, industry and reading and picture text information that about OSM. Here to update all kinds of information of OSM in a timely manner, and there are news, pearl and beauty columns, so that you can get information more conveniently.
In addition, you can join the “circle” on OSM headline software, where more topics are updated every day, and more hot topics are for you to participate in discussions, making employee interaction more interesting; At the same time, if the employee can also earn points, they can deduct the corresponding amount to purchase goods, which is very convenient.
Virtualization: (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
Virtualization is the process by which one physical computer hosts many different virtual (not literal) computers within it.
Open source software: (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
OSM uses an open source software named Anodoo, which is a web-based open source software.
Anodoo is the first "product + service + solution + ecosystem" platform based on Odoo in China. It provides open-source and free digital intelligence software products and professional implementation services. At the same time, it finely matches flexible enterprise services to help small and medium-sized enterprises realize digital intelligence strategies.
Small and medium-sized companies like OSM urgently need a platform for all business processes. On the one hand, Anodoo comprehensively covers all the needs involved in customer-centricity through the five business areas of multi-channel connection, customer relationship, customer marketing, customer sales, and customer service, and at the same time, based on the "An app for every need" capability of the Odoo platform, it covers the back-end operational needs with ERP and finance as the core.
New technology: (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
OSM combines 5G and Internet technology in the production process to create a "5G smart factory".
In order to promote the construction of intelligent projects, OSM cooperates with many leading domestic technology companies, such as Alibaba Cloud. China Mobile's 5G network is used to collect data at the edge layer. Relying on the industrial Internet platform, the interconnection of MES, ERP and other data is realized, and monitoring and early warning of core raw and auxiliary material consumption and energy consumption of the company's 16 production lines are achieved.
OSM also adopts intelligent production and cloud management, relies on the existing industrial Internet platform, accesses different equipment, systems and products through various communication means, and collects massive data. OSM purchases various intelligent R&D, production and testing equipment such as intelligent logistics equipment, intelligent testing equipment and systems, as well as the application of various management systems and other systems to comprehensively promote the construction of digital, multi-dimensional and intelligent discrete smart factory projects. The OSM intelligent warehousing system comprehensively utilizes high-tech technologies such as computers, the Internet, and the Internet of Things to integrate high-rise three-dimensional shelves, automatic sorting and hauling systems, indoor trucks, automatic inbound and outbound transportation equipment, etc., to form a system with certain perception capabilities and an intelligent system with independent judgment and operation capabilities.
Robots:
OSM uses intelligent robots to manage the warehouse, which has a high degree of automation. All operations are performed by computers, and only 2-3 people are needed to control the computers.
How 3D print can be used by OSM?
3D printing can help OSM to quickly make design prototypes of cosmetic products, and can also make cosmetic packaging and exterior designs, for the production of cosmetic tools, and so on. These have helped cosmetics companies to launch innovative products. Through 3D printing technology, complex product structures, multi-layered textures and special shapes can be produced to achieve personalization and differentiation of cosmetic products.
BYOD：(Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)
BYOD policy mean that companies should clearly define who is allowed to use their personal devices within the company, whether for temporary use to supplement corporate terminal equipment, to permanently replace corporate equipment, or something in between. After investigation, it was found that OSM did not have such a policy.According to another investigation, OSM company does not use MDM software.
Database: (Yueyang Hu)
According to the definition of MIS, A database is a self-describing collection of integrated records. A database is a collection of several related data that are stored in a computer system so that they can be managed, processed, and accessed.
In general, spreadsheets and database software are both data processing tools, but they differ in their design purpose, functionality, and use cases. For simple data processing and analysis, spreadsheets may be more suitable; For large-scale data management and applications, database software is more suitable.
Fields and files: (Yueyang Hu)
For the OSM manufacturing process we study, since we study the impact of the information system on each product production link, our fields can be production time, production quantity, standard quantity, production efficiency, and production compliance rate, etc.
For example, if we make a file to study the compliance rate of various products, then our fields can be the ID number of each product, the number of standards, the number of failures, and the rate of compliance.
For the OSM marketing process we study, since we mainly study the impact of information system on OSM branding results and product sales on TikTok, our fields can be the number of live broadcasts, the sales of a single live broadcast, new customer growth rate, the customer return rate, etc.
For example, if we want to make a file to study the customer growth rate, then our fields can be the ID number of each product, the number of previous customers, the number of current customers, and the customer growth rate.
Metadata is data that describes data. For the manufacturing process, for instance, the exact time at the product compliance rate was collected. For the marketing process, for instance, the customer growth rate collected is specific to which live streamer on which day and what time of the live broadcast.
DBMS: (Yueyang Hu)
DBMS refers to database management system, which is a large, complicated system licensed similarly to an operating system. The database administrator, or DBA, uses this software to establish, maintain, and safeguard the database. "A program used to create, process, and administer a database," according to the definition found in MIS textbooks.
OSM uses the Alibaba Cloud RDS database management system. It is a Chiese cloud-based database management system software, mainly aimed at cloud computing scenarios. The software system supports MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Redis and other database types, and has the characteristics of high availability, high performance, and scalability. Alibaba Cloud RDS also supports multiple functions, such as automatic backup, data restoration, and performance optimization, which greatly simplifies the database management process.It provides great convenience for OSM to manage e-commerce industry data.
Database application system: (Yueyang Hu)
A database application system is a software system that can actually store, maintain, and provide data from the application system, and is a collection of storage media, processing objects, and management systems.It typically consists of software, database, and data administrators.
A database application is designed mainly to retrieve data from an electronic database. Data can be added, changed, or removed from this point on and then returned to the database.
New technologies for databases: (Ruini Weng)
According to MIS, in the future the database can have new technologies such as NoSQL and NewSQL. OSM can use NewSQL. NewSQL not only supports a large number of transactions but also provides ACID support. As a medium-sized traditional business, OSM has a large number of things that need to be processed at the same time within the company. In order to ensure safe and smooth transactions, it also requires technology to support the permanent preservation of transaction records, and the "Consistent" and "Durable" attributes of ACID transactions can also be very Good help OSM.
LAN: (Ruini Weng)
According to the definition of MIS, "A local area network (LAN) connects computers that reside in a single geographic location on the premises of the company that operates the LAN". OSM company has its own LAN, which is composed of internal computers, internal operating systems, switches and routers.
Internet: (Ruini Weng)
According to the MIS definition, "An internet is a network of networks". OSM connects to the Internet through self-built data centers and cloud computing. OSM specially established OSM Information Technology Co., Ltd. to build its own data center. The domain name of OSM is osmun.com.cn.
Protocol: (Ruini Weng)
According to the definition of MIS, "protocol is a set of rules and data structures for organizing communication". The important protocols are http, https, smtp, and ftp. OSM uses http, and its official website address is http://www.osmun.com.cn/; OSM also uses https, and its official flagship store website address is https://osm.tmall.com/.
Cloud: (Muxuan Zhang)
According to the textbook, cloud is the elastic leasing of pooled computer resources over the Internet. Cloud computing increases the flexibility of the company. Companies don't need to invest in physical infrastructure because they can easily scale up resources and storage to suit business demands. Businesses don't have to invest in or construct the infrastructure required to handle their maximum levels of demand.
Cloud-based service: (Muxuan Zhang)
OSM uses IaaS software: ZStack Cloud. According to the text book, infrastructure as a service (IaaS), which is the cloud hosting of a bare server computer, data storage, network, and virtualization, is the most basic type of cloud offering. ZStack Cloud provides OSM with a flexible and complete API to manage data center resources including computing, storage and network. OSM also uses ZStack Cloud to build its own intelligent cloud data center and build flexible cloud application scenarios on top of the stable ZStack Cloud.
Problems and recommendations: (Muxuan Zhang)
However, OSM not using a VPN within the company increases the risk of confidential documents and product leaks. Therefore, we recommend that OSM use a VPN to create a more private and secure company internal network.
