Auto-Parts Warehouse Management

/in /by

Jack Greig and Daniel Cox have several years of experience of running an auto-parts business as a supplier in a major city of Australia. The current warehouse management system is not able to handle highly dynamic procedures that can help them move and store inventory at peak efficiency and lowest cost. Jack and Daniel have decided to develop a new Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System where its functionality can be applied throughout all core warehouse processes, transforming the warehouse into a competitive advantage.

You are the business system analyst assigned to develop this system. In your meeting with Jack and Daniel, they provided significant details regarding the basic operations of the system. They expect the system will perform the various functions such as receiving all types of orders, inventory control, order processing, pick up and process orders, order load management, outbound documentation, system alerts, packing orders, and crystal reports. Please note, you must consider the number of wireless communication devices that configure with the proposed system and enables the warehouse management to run the distribution centre using real-time operations. These extensive system functions will improve warehouse operations by minimising costs and increasing productivity.

Task

Further Background

Refer to background information provided in Assessments 1 and 2 regarding Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System.

Complete the Following

Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress.

Cloud Based Solution

Consider various aspects of cloud-based solutions and investigate the strengths and weaknesses of cloud based solutions, taking into consideration the environment in which the solution will be deployed for the proposed system.

Agile Methodologies

Compare and contrast Unified Process (UP) and Scrum. Then recommend either Unified Process or Scrum you will use for the proposed system and briefly describe why.

Rationale

This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:

  • be able to evaluate development requirements and prepare a feasibility proposal based on multi-disciplinary (financial, human resource, technological) analyses.
  • be able to formulate and justify system requirement models based on evaluation of given situations.
  • be able to assemble the components of a requirements model using the tools and techniques of object oriented or structured systems modelling.

CRITERIA STANDARDS
High Distinction Distinction Credit Pass Fail
A review of the strengths and weaknesses of cloud-based solutions, taking into consideration the environment in which the solution will be deployed for the proposed system.   6 Marks Clearly identified strengths and weaknesses of cloud solutions. As well as demonstrate in-depth understanding of the environment that the solution would be used in. Identified most of the strengths and weaknesses of cloud solutions. As well as demonstrate some understanding of the environment that the solution would be used in. Identified some of strengths and weaknesses of cloud solutions. As well as demonstrate little understanding of the environment that the solution would be used in. Identified some of strengths and weaknesses of cloud solutions. As well as demonstrate little understanding of the environment that the solution would be used in. But no evidence of research. Strengths and weaknesses are poorly expressed and no explanation of the environment that the solution would be used in.
Compare and contrast Unified Process (UP) and Scrum. Then recommend either Unified Process or Scrum you will use for the proposed system and briefly describe why.   6 marks Response clearly state the differences between Unified Process and Scrum methodologies with strong justification about which methodology is suitable for the proposed system. Response clearly state the differences between Unified Process and Scrum methodologies with some justification about which methodology is suitable for the proposed system. Response list the major differences between Unified Process and Scrum methodologies with little justification about which methodology is suitable for the proposed system. Response list some differences between Unified Process and Scrum methodologies with limited justification about which methodology is suitable for the proposed system. Response just describe both methodologies no comparison and no justification about which methodology is suitable for the proposed system.
