Specialty Toys, Inc., sells a variety of new and innovative children’s toys. Management learned that thepreholiday season is the best time to introduce a new toy, because many families use this time to look fornew ideas for December holiday gifts. When Specialty discovers a new toy with good market potential, itchooses an October market entry date.In order to get toys in its stores by October, Specialty places one-time orders with itsmanufacturers in June or July of each year. Demand for children’s toys can be highly volatile. If a newtoy catches on, a sense of shortage in the marketplace often increases the demand to high levels and largeprofits can be realized. However, new toys can also flop, leaving Specialty stuck with high levels ofinventory that must be sold at reduced prices. The most important question the company faces is decidinghow many units of a new toy should be purchased to meet anticipated sales demand. If too few arepurchased, sales will be lost; if too many are…

JW Office Supplies, Inc., is a wholesale distributor of office supplies. It sells pencils and pens, paper goods (including computer paper and forms), staplers, calendars, and other items, excluding furniture and other major items such as copy machines that you would expect to find in an office. Sales have been growing at 5 percent per year during the past several years. Mr. Kay, the president of JW Office Supplies, recently attended a national office supplies convention. In conversations during that convention, he discovered that sales for ABC Office Supplies competitors have been growing at 15 percent per year. Arriving back home, he did a quick investigation and discovered the following: JW Office Supplies customer turnover is significantly higher than the industry average. JW Office Supplies vendor turnover is significantly lower than the industry average. The new market analysis system was supposed to be ready two years ago but has been delayed for more than one year in systems development. A staff position, reporting to the president, for a person to prepare and analyze cash budgets was created two years ago but has never been filled. Mr. Kay has called on you to conduct a systems survey of this situation. You are to assume that a request for systems development has been prepared and approved. The information system at JW Office Supplies is much like that depicted in Chapters 10 through 16. Make and describe all assumptions that you believe are necessary to solve any of the following: a. What are the specific tasks of this systems survey? b. Indicate specific quantifiable benefits and costs that should be examined in assessing the economic feasibility of any solutions that might be proposed. Explain how you would go about quantifying each benefit or cost. c. Propose and explain three different scopes for the systems analysis. Use a context diagram to describe each scope alternative. Hint: What subsystems might be involved in an analysis?
