Error Handling Of An Activity Diagram

The customer service representative’s first priority is always the customer. Whatever the customer wants, ideally, the customer gets. However, when the customer service representative conducts the search with respect to locating the desired product and shipping the product at the desired shipping address within the desired delivery time sometimes becomes a burden. There are often times where the closest warehouse does not have the requested product in stock and other warehouse locations need to be conducted. In that event, the customer service

They show the interaction between objects to create a functioning system and emphasize what must happen in the system being modeled. Since behavior diagrams illustrate the behavior of a system, so they are used extensively to describe the functionality of software systems, and all

I have learned many from the introduction Flowcharting written by (Streib Bill), “Flowcharting is a detailed graphical representation of a process or procedure”.

A flowchart is intends to show a process from start to finish and visibly show the required steps in between. The decisions and the times they are made in the process can modify the process making it easier or complicate it further. This process will be

Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams are intended to model both computational and organizational processes (i.e. workflows). Activity diagrams show the overall flow of control.

Ensure sufficient stock of all items is kept in good order to meet foreseeable demands as per production plan.

Office Depot uses multiple inventory strategies to order products. 90% to 95% of goods are ordered through automatic replenishment, manual replenishment, pull replenishment, and global sourcing are also used depending on channel, volume, velocity and cost. (Office Depot, 2015). The accuracy of the inventory from both a DC and store perspective is critical to the organizations success. Heizer and Render (2014) state that record accuracy is a prerequisite to inventory management, production scheduling, and sales. Accuracy is maintained by either periodic or perpetual systems (p.479). In Office Depot, the stores are required to cycle-count technology items such as laptops, desktops computers, and tablets five days a week. Discrepancies are entered in the system and bounced off the local DC’s on-hand inventory discrepancies. Office Depot is a “blind receive” organization meaning the stores receive pallets of products and simply unwrap and put them away. The only way a store knows if a product is missing is through the cycle-count program. This system was put into place to speed up the receiving process and eliminate unnecessary steps once the product was received at the store level. Office Depot conducts a full physical inventory once a year through a third party and trues up the inventory shrink at this time.

System testing will help identify if normal or incorrect actions in the program are working correctly because every line of the program code should be able to execute test errors messages.

The flow chart in an organization is used to visualize the flow of work for easy understanding implementation (U.S. Department of health and Human Services, 2012). With the flowchart, there is a better understanding of what activity is performed the time and the person responsible

A flowchart is a diagram that depicts the “flow” of a program. It contains symbols that represent each step in the program (Pearson Education, 2012). It has 4 general structures:

* To perform design changes, programming, acceptance testing or implementation to address unforeseen error(s), newly discovered bugs and/or interfacing issues.

Activity: A distinct, scheduled portion of work performed during the course of a project. (This is also referred to as a Task).

2. Ericson, M. (2004, April 22). Activity Diagrams: What They Are and How to Use

Activities are graphically represented by arrows, usually with description and time estimates written along the arrows. The tail of the arrow portraying an activity represents the starting point of the activity and its

“A Business Process Explorer: Recovering and Visualizing E-Commerce Business Processes” is a research paper developed by the author: Jin Guo, King Chun Foo, Liliane Barbour, and Ying Zou. The focus of this paper is a business process and how it affects e-commerce systems. Business process can be defined as an assortment of linked, designed actions or responsibilities that are linked together by control flow foundations. E-commerce uses business processes to systematize the day-to-day work flow of an organization.
