THE CONSISTENCY CHECKER: The system required the plan setup consultants to build the plan and then stage to test,

maintenance and finally production. The drawback with the existing system was that there was no easy way of fixing any

inconsistencies or missing mandatory attributes in the plan setup once the plan was staged to test. Often times making changes to

an existing plan in stages to test phase required more time and resources than to create a new plan. The goal was to minimize the

possibility of failure before the plan was staged to test.
