Question

define classification and enumerate its advantages

Answer 1

In each sub-regional office (SRO) a computer network was installed comprising
half as many work stations as there were supervisors, i.e. each supervisor
and his team of enumerators were allotted half a station. If there were 6-10
supervisors in an SRO, 3-5 work stations linked in a NOVELL network were
set up. At times, based on the workload in an SRO, this rule was broken so
that enumerators reporting to a supervisor would be allotted more than one-
half station.
The SRO network was linked up via external communications to two stations:
1. to the relevant regional office (RO)
2. to the Help Desk
The objective of these link-ups was not to transfer data from the SRO to the
RO or to the Help Desk, but to enable the RO and the Help Desk to solve
problems at the SRO and to conduct on-line training sessions without the need
for their physical presence in the SRO. The RO would override the local
computer network and use their communications link-up to solve the problem or
conduct the training required.
The transfer of data from SROs to ROs was done by pick-up truck.
