Abstract Details

2006, Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, Miami University, Technical and Scientific Communication.
During my internship with Choice Systems, Inc. from April until December 2005, I worked as a technical communicator, developing documentation for the company’s supply chain management software applications. This report is a chronicle of my internship and includes information about the company and the projects on which I worked. It provides a discussion of single-sourcing, a documentation methodology I investigated to determine whether it would improve the efficiency of developing and managing the large body of documentation that Choice maintains. This report also includes an analysis of the process I used to develop documentation based on the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model from supply chain management. From this analysis, I conclude that efficiencies in documentation can be realized less by automating the documentation process than by aligning the software development and documentation development supply chains. An additional benefit would be increased availability of information, which is critical to organizations like Choice with networked cultures.
