Draw data flow diagrams,Determine the system requirements

Read the following Personal Trainer, Inc. case carefully, before answering any of the below questions

CASE: PERSONAL TRAINER, INC.

Personal Trainer, Inc., owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The centers have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a new “supercenter” in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer’s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation.

Background

During requirements modeling for the new system, Susan Park met with fitness center managers at several Personal Trainer locations. She conducted a series of interviews, reviewed company records, observed business operations, analyzed the BumbleBee accounting software, and studied a sample of sales and billing transactions. Susan’s objective was to develop a list of system requirements for the proposed system.

Fact-Finding Summary

§  A typical center has 300-500 members, with two membership levels: full and limited. Full members have access to all activities. Limited members are restricted to activities they have selected, but they can participate in other activities by paying a usage fee. All members have charge privileges. Charges for merchandise and services are recorded on a charge slip, which is signed by the member. At the end of each day, cash sales and charges are entered into the BumbleBee accounting software, which runs on a computer workstation at each location. Daily cash receipts are deposited in a local bank and credited to the corporate Personal Trainer account. The BumbleBee program produces a daily activity report with a listing of all sales transactions. At the end of the month, the local manager uses BumbleBee to transmit an accounts receivable summary to the Personal Trainer headquarters in Chicago, where member statements are prepared and mailed. Members mail their payments to the Personal Trainer headquarters, where the payment is applied to the member account.

§  The BumbleBee program stores basic member information, but does not include information about member preferences, activities, and history.

§  Currently, the BumbleBee program produces one local report (the daily activity report) and three reports that are prepared at the headquarters location: a monthly member sales report, an exception report for inactive members and late payers, and a quarterly profit-and-loss report that shows a breakdown of revenue and costs for each separate activity.

During the interviews, Susan received a number of “wish list” comments from local managers and staff members. For example, many managers wanted more analytical features so they could spot trends and experiment with what-if scenarios for special promotions and discounts. The most frequent complaint was that managers wanted more frequent information about the profitability of the business activities at their centers.

To enhance their business, managers wanted to offer a computerized activity and wellness log, a personal coach service, and e-mail communication with members. Managers also wanted better ways to manage information about part-time instructors and staff. Several staff members suggested a redesign for the charge slips or scannable ID cards.

Based on the Personal Trainer, Inc. case, please answer the following questions

 1.  Explain the reasons why the company wants to develop a new information System? (15 points)

 2.  Identify the fact-finding techniques used by Susan. (15 points)

 3.  Determine the system requirements, providing examples for each category and type. Review the information that Susan gathered, and as a system analyst, assume that you will add your own ideas to achieve more effective inputs, processes, outputs, performance, security, and controls. (30 points)

 4.  Draw data flow diagrams (i.e., context diagram and Level-0 diagram) that represent the main process, input and output requirements described in the fact statement or recommended by you, in question number 3, whenever applicable. (40 points)

Discussion

  While you are in the infancy of thinking about your dissertation topic, it helps to begin with the end in mind.  During your literature review, you will uncover a gap in the scholarship on your proposed topic.  While this gap may be content or methodological-specific, it is critical to think about the type of methodology your study will employ as you begin your search.  Therefore, you will review the University of the Cumberland’s doctoral research handbook for approved research designs. You will not be “locked in” to your choice until your IRB is approved in DSRT 839, but you should have a general idea of how you will collect data on your proposed topic.  Directions:  1. Review the appendices of the doctoral research handbook to determine a possible research design for your study. 2. Start a new thread in this discussion board whereby you include the following:

  1. One brief paragraph overview of your proposed dissertation topic. Topic is Cyber Security
  2. One brief paragraph overview of the theories related to your topic. This should include at least one in-text citation. 
  3. One brief paragraph about how your topic relates to the goals of your academic program. 
  4. One brief paragraph about the methodology and study design you believe you will use with the topic after reviewing the approved designs in the appendix of the doctoral research handbook. This paragraph should also include how you plan to collect data on this topic. 
  5. Reference list for any in-text citations included.  

3. Reply to one other classmate providing support and coaching for their topic and proposed methodology.

Alice 3.5 Homework help must use Alice 3.5

Help with two labs. the second Lab 2 and be used with Lab 1. However, it must be two (2) documents. Lab 1 and Lab 2. 

  

(Alice 3.5) Lab 1

Scene building in Alice is a key step in the process of creating any animation or interactive project. 

For this lab assignment, you will choose a theme for your scene 

and insert a minimum of five different objects within the scene. 

Your goal is to create a story with your scene, objects, and their placement (rotate, resize, position, etc.).

 

Alice 3.5 Lab 2 

For this lab you can modify the Week 5 Lab 1 assignment or create a new one.

Ensure two of the scene objects are a person, animal, or a combination of each.

  • You will want one of your      objects to move toward another object.
  • These objects should not      overlap or touch one another.
  • Then you will have both objects      face the other and say a greeting to each other.
  • Finally, each object will then      face the camera and say “Goodbye”.

Ensure all criteria are met from the rubric for this lab to earn full credit on the assignment. Upload your assignment as an Alice (.a3p) file using the following naming protocol: HunterJordan-Alice-Week5-Lab2.a3p
