Our Sponsor – Keith Price

Keith Price leads the quality team at Agilent’s Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis group (LSCA), with responsibilities for its quality management system, business process metrics system, and customer loyalty.

He joined HP/Agilent in 1984 as an electronic engineer and then moved into a variety of quality consulting and management roles.

He holds a master’s degree in quality systems management from Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Our Sponsor – Michael McCaffrey

Trained as a chemist and worked for many years engaged in liquid crystal research and development. Economic, business and personal changes at the time caused me to reevaluate my career choices and I retrained in the computer science field. Michael McCaffrey have spent the last 20 years in a variety of process development, process improvement efforts - lifecycle creation, inspections implementations, measurement efforts, cost/estimation improvements, quality championing, etc.

Agilent’s Existing System

Agilent does not have a system implemented Therefore we are using VMWARE, which will

present portability

Sponsor Requirements of Project To design a webpage that can be accessed by the Life Sciences

& Chemical Analysis team at Agilent Technologies (the webpage will allow them to log into their database)

A webpage will actually query these items: 1. What Product2. Which Phase it is in3. The Product Name4. Product Number5. Version6. Manager in Charge of Product7. Whether it’s Hardware, Software, or Chemical8. Product Description

To develop a simple database to query products that are released and in development. We are to track different phases of each research and development product of Agilent Technologies: Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis Department with product release date and financial project.

Key Functions of Our Product &

Deliverables The functional aspects of this particular database

will track hardware, software, and chemical analysis.

It will track phases and all deliverables of the department and project a simple website interface.

Key Functions of Our Product & Deliverables (cont.)

Our deliverables are: Tracking Database - We are implementing one

database that tracks deliverables of each phase of every product life-cycle. It will need to be a form where information about the product and its status can be entered.

Web Page – Queries the following items1. What product2. Which phase it is in3. The product name4. Product Number5. Version6. Manager in charge of product7. Whether it’s Hardware, Software, or Chemicals8. Product Description

Function1: Data entry Input data Hardware Input data Software Input data Chemical Input Data

Function2:Updating an existent

Record

Update existing record

Update new input record

Update Record Change Data

Function 3:Deleting a record

from DB.

Deleting a Hardware Deleting a Software Deleting a Chemical Deleting a table

Function 4:Inserting a new

Record

Create new table Create new database Create new authenticated users

FN#4 Adding a new field to all records in Table

Create new tables Create class presentation tables and values

These are some of the test Cases that are necessary for both Agilent staff members and Student team members

Service & Startup Guide

By using WAMP (Windows, Apache server, MySQL, and PHP) the integration of the open source products were easier to use.

To Start Apache Server after Windows load

• clicking (on the lower right corner) onto this display

Service & Startup Guide cont.

Select “Restart All Services” (This will restart the MySQL and Apache server for the website)


To test if localhost is connecting (if server is up), click on the WAMP display on the lower right corner and select Localhost on the very top:


Localhost should show this:


By entering the Agilent project you will get into the login screen

Obstacles

Major obstacles we faced were from the Risk analysis:•The team’s skill level severity was 15 which was considered moderate, and was a moderate issue.•The difficulty in arranging team meetings, severity was at 15 moderate, but it was difficult in coordinating with sponsors the most. •Problems synergizing with sponsors.•The contingency of group tension was met but there were some internal failures to meet deadlines on to-dos because of group tensions and lack of qualification.

Outlook of Completion of Product

Product is complete as par to requirements.

WebPage will query: 1. What product2. Which phase it is in3. The product name4. Product Number5. Version6. Manager in charge of product7. Whether it’s Hardware, Software, or Chemicals8. Product Description
