Assignment title: Information
Natural Health Food store is a chain of health food stores serving NSW, Queensland and
Victoria. David Brown opened his first Natural Best Health Food Stores in 1965 and has since opened
fifteen stores in three states. Initially he sold only herbal supplements, gourmet coffees and teas,
and household products. In 1990, he expanded his product line to include personal care, pet care,
and grocery items. In the past several months, many of Mr. David's customers have requested the
ability to purchase prepackaged meals, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and vegetables, and have these
prepackaged meals automatically delivered to their homes weekly, biweekly, or monthly as
requested.
With the current system, a customer can become a member of Natural Best Food Delivery
Service and have personal care, pet care, gourmet products, and grocery items delivered on a
weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. Only members can order the items to be delivered at their
postal address. The entire subscription process takes almost an hour. The customer needs to fill in
the paper form to become member which collects customer's information. To order product
member needs to call the shop and a staff member writes the order against the member number.
The order will have desired delivery items and quantity, delivery frequency, mode of payment and
phone number. This system is old and creates lot of overhead on staff. The order gets misplaced;
gets duplicated, insufficient stock or shops are overstocked etc.
Mr. David wants to deploy an Automatic Delivery System (ADS) for its existing products. The
system should able to process customer's subscription. Once the subscription is processed the
customer becomes member and should able to order product online. As members orders are placed,
inventory is automatically updated. Each store should be equipped with a computer that accesses a
centralized database. The system should able to track inventory, customers' activity, delivery
schedules, and individual store sales. Each week sales summary report should be generated, low-in-
stock reports, and delivery schedule reports for each store. The information contained on each of
these individual reports is then consolidated into master sales summary, low-in-stock, and
forecasting reports. Information contained on these reports would facilitate restocking, product
delivery, and forecasting decisions. At present Mr. David uses an Excel worksheet to consolidate
sales information from each store. He then uses this worksheet to make forecasting decisions for
each store.
For Project Cost Benefit Analysis assume discount rate to be 10%. Total development cost is
$80,000.00

Assignment 2 is a group assignment. 3-5 students in a group. Your course knowledge gained
about how to model the system requirements in both the object-oriented and traditional system
analysis approaches will be assessed through the tasks in assignment 2. You need to submit a
design of a website. You are to complete the following task in the order given based on the case
study provided to you on Moodle:
1. Find out all Critical Use Cases
2. Draw Context Level diagram.
3. Draw Level 0 data flow diagram depicting all the business process description provided.
4. Draw ERD showing all required entities and its relationships.
5. Draw CRUD diagram.
7. Provide a prototype of website design and architecture you have developed based on the case
study.
8. Details of individual group members contribution towards the development of the project.
At week 11, there will be a presentation based on the case study.
Presentation based on the case study :
Students need to present the website design in the designated tutorial/ class time. Students need
to specify the advantages and disadvantages of tools they have used to develop the website
design. The website design is a prototype. Students are not required to implement the design.
No Database connectivity is required. Students can choose some default value for the label
and text field they are using in the design. Students should click the photographs and images
they would like or wish to display on the website. Students may use photographs/ images from
the web but they are required to reference it properly.
