Coding Cat Oran S2 Ep3: The Auditor Arrives
In this narrative episode, an external auditor, Ms. Chen, visits a manufacturing plant to evaluate compliance for a potential contract. While the physical production floor and equipment meet standards, she discovers severe deficiencies in data management. Production records are fragmented across disparate Excel files, password-protected folders, and physical binders, making traceability impossible. Ms. Chen informs the CEO that the documentation system is non-compliant, citing a lack of a single source of truth and audit trails. She issues a ninety-day ultimatum to rectify these issues or lose the contract. In response, the CEO appoints Oran, an IT support staff member, as the project manager to centralize all data into a database. Recognizing the complexity of the task and the pitfalls of previous ad-hoc solutions, Oran challenges the rigid timeline. He asserts that IT must determine the realistic schedule and scope to ensure the system is built correctly, rather than rushing to meet an arbitrary deadline, marking a pivotal shift in the company's approach to data integrity.
