Structured Approach for Implementation

Much of the effort involved in implementing a complete balancing system takes place before sitting down at a terminal to define a rule. Users are consulted, the problems are discussed, objectives are established, criteria for determining errors are documented, and desired reports and actions are designed.

To assist you before you get to a terminal, definition templates are provided here. These templates are designed to help data balancing designers organize their thoughts, and to make it subsequently easier to define rules, missions, and variables.

These templates include:

• Rule Worksheet A
• Rule Worksheet B
• Mission Worksheet
• Database Variable Worksheet
