The paper concludes with a critical appraisal in connection with a comparison to other process documentation methods in chapter 5 and a terminal conclusion in chapter 6. 2. General view of UML In the following, a general overview of UML as a unified language will be given. It is important to provide a basis for a better understanding of how UML works in logistical processes. Therefore a short outline of the history and the development of UML will be presented with a subsequent explanation of what UML is and what types of diagrams exist. 2.1 Development of UML The origin of UML is software development. But in the 90’s, a large number of different approaches, several books on object-oriented software modeling and a lot of graphical notations existed. The most prominent representatives of object-oriented notations are Booch from Grady Booch, Objectory from Ivar Jacobson and Object Modeling Technique (OMT) from James Rumbaugh. The initiators of UML gradually recognized the significance of a unified method for software engineering. In 1995 Grady Booch and Jim Rumbaugh combined their both methods Booch and OMT and announced Unified Method 0.8 (UM 0.8) at the conference OOPSLA in Austin, Texas. But this method lacked on the integration of the customer and the user of the system. Soon Ivar Jacobson who brought the focus to the Use Case Diagram joined Booch and Rumbaugh. Together they reduced the range of UM 0.8 to a pure language and so developed the
Reports were reviewed by the team, agreeing that information provided covers the final process statement objective.
Team B has obtained information for SR-rm-002 asking for an assessment for the development of an MRP system that would trace and run raw materials and give a finished product inventory. This evaluation is to help Riordan Manufacturing lessen the raw materials received at each plant, and manage and reduce the completed good inventory costs, at all its plants. This is a high level complete analysis, which will result in projected changes to the system; though it does not include an all-inclusive schedule for completion nor thorough scope by department. This paper will illustrate the system development life cycle process
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.
The purpose of this section is to identify the documentation that will be used for ensuring quality.
The scope and purpose of the process evaluation presented in terms of the process measure and the outcome evaluation measure is influenced by the design for their program to reflect a more efficient and effective organization. A matrix organization blends both the functional and divisional organization together. The matrix organization decentralizes the decision making process, communication is extensive and ongoing, the utilization of resources are efficient. Employees learn collaborative skills as they work and communicate throughout the entire organization, this leads to knowledge of various functions within the organization and leads to dual career ladders and opportunities. Disadvantages to avoid are allowing confusion when reporting to superiors, because manager’s share subordinates they may end up jockeying for power and trying to override the other.
Processes were measured: The processes were identified. Objectives were identified. Obvious bottlenecks were highlighted by analysing the process metrics.
3. Assuming that processing starts at 7 am on a “busy” day, present the situation during such a day, by constructing an inventory build-up diagram for bins and trucks.
e. Articulate and Document Rationale: This step is included as a separate step in the KPMG Professional Judgment Framework because it is extremely important to properly document the work performed in an accounting or auditing setting. In this final step, we need to be prepared to articulate our rationale to those who may not agree with the conclusions reached. It is also appropriate to document positive/supportive evidence as well as evidence that went contrary to the ultimate conclusion. Documenting the rationale also helps to make sure that all of the other steps of the judgment process were completed in an appropriate fashion and that the logic holds together when documenting the process and conclusion.
Properly prepared audit documentation should provide 1) a basis for planning the audit, 2) a record of evidence collected and results of tests performed on the evidence, 3) a basis for determining the appropriate audit report and 4) a basis for review by supervisors of the work performed. Achievement of these four purposes aids the auditor in providing reasonable assurance that the audit was conducted in accordance with the auditing standards.
1.Tariffs It is one of the political issues during the Gilded Age that brought changes in the way politics were conducted. The conventional tariffs were taxes charged on imported products to raise money for agencies that looked after goods and individuals entering America (“Politics in the Gilded Age”). On the other hand, the protective tariff was introduced to so as to govern industries and businesses in America. As a result, high tariffs ensured that producers competed on fair grounds with foreign products, as they raised the price of imported goods, and, therefore, made American products more attractive. Therefore, workers were encouraged to support political parties that supported high tariffs to avoid losing their jobs. 2.Rise and Fall
My evaluation of the approach is agreeable with the process that has been created by
Describe how to complete and maintain documentation in accordance with organisational procedures, in relation to:
The purpose of this memo is to describe how I and other members in our group proceed the work of technical documentation assignment.
The Computer Hardware consists of dozens or more computers linked together by data communications hardware (Kroenke 11). Software roles would consist of hundreds of different programs that coordinate communications among the computers, along with other programs that help to streamline the process of picking, packing, and shipping products from the warehouse (Kroenke11). The system may store Data relating to customers’ orders, customers profiles from previous orders, product information along with inventory, among other facts relating to the shipping process. Hundreds of different Procedures are followed by customers, warehouse employees along with the shipping companies (Kroenke 11).The roles played by People include not only the users of the systems, but also those who operate and service the computers, also those who maintain the data along with those who support the networks of computers (Kroenke 11).
These processes are not performed in isolation. The end result relies heavily on the satisfactory completion of all processes and the communication of all functional areas involved. By viewing these processes as a whole, management can identify process inefficiencies. These inefficiencies may include delays or queuing at process bottlenecks, lack of control or checking, or places responsibility for process activities is not clear.
