3. The system will be less probable to make mistake, since it?s a machine. 4. This will avoid long queues at the counter due to the speed of execution and number of optimum screens to accommodate the maximum throughput. 5. The system will be available 24 hours for 365 days, because the machine is not going to take any sick or vacation leave. Scope and Objectives The purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate the extent to which high-level systems concept and UML notation/semantics can be used to describe the functionality of this system. This study lays out a framework for a new system to be developed and brought to the market for maximum use. The following issues, which are useful in performing a detailed analysis of the system, will be addressed in this study: 1. What should the system do? 2. What are the systems requirements? 3. How does the system work? 4. Can the system work? 5. What objects should be chosen and each of the subsystems functionality? 6. How should the object/subsystem interact? 7. How to verify and validate the system? System Framework and Boundary Goals, Scenarios and Use Cases Goals and Scenarios Goal 1. The system has a user-friendly user interface. 1. Scenario 1.1. A particular user of the system has no difficulty in reading the text on the display. 2. Scenario 1.2. The system is navigable through intuition. 3. Scenario 1.3. Menu choices are presented in form of buttons, which
There are several techniques used in the documentation process. As a system analyst I would propose to the members of this group a straightforward standardized approach. A reasonable suggestion for this project would be to use the Procedure Manual technique for documenting this system. The Procedure Manuals will provide instructions on how to operate and understand how the system works. These manuals are also used as a guide that can be updated at different intervals for future users. Procedure Manuals are also made available to users via the Web. This new approach has made it convenient for users to seek support in a much faster way by offering a FAQ page, and online chat (Kendall & Kendall, 2011). In
Options A, B, and C. This chapter has three options depending upon your previous experience with a manual version systems project called the Systems Understanding Aid, written by the same authors as this computerized project. Option A is for students who have not used the Systems Understanding Aid before. Option B is for students who have completed the Systems Understanding Aid before using Transactions List A (Document No. 1). Option C is for students who have completed the Systems Understanding Aid before using Transactions List B (Document No. 1).
A profile allows UML to be extended for use with a particular programming platform or to model systems intended for use in a particular domain. A profile extends the UML to allow user-defined stereotypes, meta-attributes, and constraints.
Another way of successfully gathering information is by building a prototype or model of the system, so that users can test or get an idea of what the finished product will be like. With this they can determine issues, problems, or inconsistency with the system. Another important part of gathering information is organizing it so that it can be understood and put to proper use. I propose categorizing the requirements into functional requirements, operational requirements, technical requirements, and transitional requirements. The functional requirements define how the user thinks the system is functioning overall, the operational requirements define what background processes need to be executed in order for the system to work optimally over a period of time, the technical requirements define what technical issues that must be addressed in order to successfully implement the system, and the transitional requirements define the processes or steps needed to implement the system smoothly and successfully. ("Mind Tools", 2012).
3. A Use Case is developed to support requirement specification. It is a detailed description of specifications in its simplest form using Realtime scenarios of the functionality requirements between the actors and
A system is an organized structure that has inputs and outputs that carry out a specific activity. A system is a group of components that makes up a complex functioning unit. When an element changes, the system will stop functioning right. Once the system has been defined by jurisdiction, budget, coverage requirements and user needs, the next step is to design the system using components and systems that are obtainable and have the desired features that the customer and the design engineer have agreed upon. If the design engineer is not careful, then there will be coverage, operational, maintenance and reliability issues that will plague the system forever. The equipment-engineering phase will specify each and every component in the system, (Wiesenfeld, 2010). Due to a problem or situation, there is a beginning and an end to a system that is tasked to solve that problem.
Iain’s & Co. are a large building company that currently employ a team of IT technicians to help them manage their IT infrastructure and their IT users. They recently have taken over a similar small company that employs technical staff in the same way. Iain’s & Co. feel that they need a centralised IT support system that will monitor, track and report problems that have been identified by their IT users across both sites. Iain’s & Co. have hired me as their Systems Analyst to provide them better solutions to manage their IT Supports system.
In today’s competitive economic climate, most project managers and organizational leadership has concluded the importance of the positive impact that project management leadership has contributed to the organization and on their projects and programs. This positive impact has caused most organizations to implement Project Support Offices (PSO). Within the Project Support Offices (PSO) there will be an understanding of the importance of the as-is and the to-be process is to managing projects and programs. The Project Support Office (PSO) uses this very effective technique in transforming vision into results. This technique is used to develop and populate an As-Is and To-Be diagrams. The As-Is diagram depicts the present state of the organizations, project or program process, culture, and capabilities. The To-Be diagram depicts the desired future state of how the organizations process, culture, and capabilities will look in the future. This case study reviews the goals confronted by the Pizza Delivered Quickly (PDQ) business while further developing the multiple related sub-systems to achieve the Pizza Delivery Quick (PDQ) requirements and be able to manage the project (Wysocki, 2012).
This new system will allow customers to input their own orders allowing staff to focus on preparing orders. With the new system, it will eliminate pressure as a result of preventing you from being overwhelmed with complaints about wait times or lengthy lines. There will be no waiting for customers to decide what they want to order or others complaining about them taking too long to place an order. The plan is to put the system into operation within the
7. The goal is that you should end up with a positive number at the end of all transactions recorded properly. Feel free to double or triple check
For this project, the workplace studied was the Panera Bread near Ryerson University. This restaurant operates by having customers form a line to get their order taken to get take out. Orders that were taken to be consumed in restaurant were not included in this study. A brief outline of the process of the system is as follows. Once a server is available, the customer approaches the cashier and relays their order. This can be a lengthy process as the cashier will often take time to ask the customer questions regarding combinations and offer points card, which add to the overall time the customer takes to order food. Then the customer pays using credit, debit, or cash. After the transaction is complete, the customer moves over to the other desk to wait for their food to be prepared. Once their food is prepared, they take their food and exit the establishment. This process can be viewed in Figure 1 below.
b. The system is accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week, worldwide by all
Because of the exploratory nature of some of the aspects of the objectives, we need to have detailed qualitative information.
The interview session has been done by include an open-ended and closed-ended question which are related to the implemented project. Next, sampling technique is executed by system analyst who does evaluation to the current system or prototype. These processes give feedback in evaluation form that filled after tested the system. Lastly, observation is performed by using questionnaire form. According to Burch (1992), the questionnaire is analyzed and transform into structured form that easy to understand. After all information has been collected, structuring of system requirement takes place. It focused on development process modeling which perform “graphically representing the process, or actions, that capture, manipulate, store, and distribute data between a system and environment” (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2012, p. 182). In this step, Data flow diagram (DFD) is structured by system analyst using special tools and techniques to create a decision table. According to Hoffer, George and Valacich (2012), decision table is a “diagram of process logic where the logic is reasonably complicated” (p. 200). This table is useful to help system analyst to make a decision toward the project. Then all information’s gained from this phase are documented in System Analysis Report (SAR) that acts as a guideline or reference to the future system development project (Burch, 1992).
When opening a new restaurant it is important to consider technology options that will offer competitive advantage, enhance profit, and work efficiently for the establishment. Three systems that are generally purchased for restaurant use are inventory systems, point of sales systems, and reservation management systems. All of these systems should be researched and compared on their functionality so the most suitable technologies can be implemented into the daily activities of the restaurant.
