CITIBANK - Cheque book stock issuance and Instrument type automation
Role/Period:
Consultant: Mar 2011 –June 2012
Technology:
UNIX, Pro*C, NAPT, Oracle 9i,VSS, Remedy
Overview:
Instrument type is used to identify the physical stationary of the cheque leaf in which the details needs to be printed. The instrument type will be differentiated based on the type of account. Stock is the leaf range allocated to each instrument type. In the earlier system, cheque book request will not be processed if the earlier allocated stock reached its maximum for an instrument type. OPS User has to do a set of process to issue additional stock or if the stock reached its maximum, it will be switched to the next instrument type. This tedious process where we have the high risk of manual errors got removed in the new system. Whenever the stock is going to lapse, the system will automatically switch to the next instrument type and provides hands off to the set of tables/process where the same will be referred during the cheque clearing process. For the system through which the bulk cheque book issuance is done (like for corporate), different process of automation is done.
Responsibility:
Studying the existing manual set of process which the OPS is doing
Designing & coding the new system by interacting with the corresponding operations unit with no more manual intervention.
