Hello classmates! I got this exercise from one of our instructors, to train ourselves in creating DFD and ERD diagrams. We can also use this exercise to create Use Cases for our CASETOOLS subject. Hope this helps all of us in our learning. :) Regards, -=> JCat! <=- Group Exercise on DFD and ERD: EVS Company is a Car Parts Supplier. Their customers buy car parts from their stores. The store-staff look at the inventory cards to see if the parts are available. The inventory cards contain the available quantity, the selling price, the bin location, minimum-stocking requirements, the recommended ordering quantity and the Supplier of these parts. The staff then retrieves the parts and prepares the O.R. He then updates the available quantity on the inventory cards. If the available quantity have reached the minimum inventory required, he then list it to the Car Parts Ordering List. When the ordered parts arrived, the warehouse staff signed the delivery receipt of the supplier, prepares a material receiving reports and then updates the inventory cards. The quantity received is added to the quantity-on-hand. He then places the parts on the respective bins. The warehouse-staff then send the MRR and the supplier's delivery receipt to their accounting-staff. The accounting staff then computes the new re-average-costs *, the new selling prices* and updates the inventory card. The accounting clerk does the following on a regular basis: · Prepares the payment for all their suppliers every month. · Summarizes all the O.R. to determine the stores total sales on a monthly and yearly basis · Weekly prepares the orders based from the Car Parts Ordering List and send it to the corresponding suppliers · Conduct an annual physical count during end of the year holidays The storeowner realized that there are numerous problems encountered in the current processes. The increase in their day to day transactions creates backlog in updating the inventory cards. The new selling prices are not updated on time; orders to suppliers are delayed thus creating undue stock-outs in the inventory. Thus, the owner approaches you to help them develop and implement an automated system that will address these problems. The storeowner wanted to have a system that will: · See the Car Parts Order List and produce the Car Parts Order to be sent to Suppliers · compute the re-average costs and selling prices every time there is a supplier's delivery · knew the daily, weekly, monthly and annual sales and the correspondin g gross profits · monitor's the supplier's contribution on their business Notes: Computation of the re-average cost: New Re-average cost = (Qty-on-hand* Old Re-average cost + Qty-delivered *Unit cost) / (Qty-on-hand + Qty-delivered) New selling prices computation: New Selling Price = re-average cost * 1.30 Requirements: 1. List and describe the major functions of the system 2. Develop the Context Diagram 3. Develop the 1st level decomposition 4. Develop the Conceptual ERD -- JACOB A. CATAYOC B.S.
