1.2 Client’s Perceived Needs
Our client spoke highly of the POS system, which could be operated easily and meet almost all of their requirements. However, the client mentioned that he would like to include some additional features in the system. Therefore, the client expects our group can perform a detailed analysis of the current system. The analysis report should contain the business analysis (the business rules, business system interfaces and business function), requirement analysis (system I/O description, user requirement definition, functional and security requirement), data analysis (data collection process, data validation, data storage, manipulation and retrieval) and process analysis (data flow analysis, process decomposition and system interfaces). Besides the client encouraged us to find overheads in the existing system and try to improve its functionality.
Therefore, our project is to help Papa John’s identify and analyze its business process for system implementation using three analysis methods including Data Flow Diagram (DFD), Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) and Unified Modeling Language (UML).
