Explain what global, national, or local industry needs could affect the POS system.

At the end of this course, you will complete a final project that will assess your understanding and comprehension of systems development. The minimum written requirement is five pages and may extend beyond the five pages due to the size of the drawings.

Scenario:

The Cycle Stationary Unit (CSU) is a company that sells stationary cycles to fitness centers, rehabilitation centers, and home consumers. CSU is a multi-million dollar business that employs 1,000 employees for the building, selling, packaging, and shipping of their products to consumers. You are a systems analyst, and management has tasked you to create a new point of sale (POS) system for CSU.

You must complete the following requirements for this final project:

1. Describe briefly the five steps of the systems development life cycle.

2. Differentiate between agile, JAD, and RAD methodologies. Which will you use for the development, and why? Would you use a prototype method?

3. Summarize the six steps of the preliminary investigation and the project triangle.

4. Explain what a data flow diagram (DFD) is. Illustrate by drawing a DFD of a context diagram point of sale (POS) system using the Gane and Sarson symbols and a diagram 0 DFD.

5. Discuss what object-oriented development is, and draw an object model of the point of sale system. Remember you must have an object model, attributes, and methods in the object model. Also, draw a use case modeling UML (Unified Modeling Language) for the POS.

6. Describe the seven basic principles for developing user interface design. Draw a simple entity relationship diagram (ERD) for the POS.

7. Summarize the last step of the SDLC of systems support and security. Why is this so important to the Cycle Stationary Unit (CSU) organization?

8. Explain what global, national, or local industry needs could affect the POS system.

Describe the seven basic principles for developing user interface design.

Evidence of academically mature insight and use critical thinking skills in analyzing and relating the articles.

or this assignment you will write an 8 – 10 page paper on a topic of choice relevant to the course. This paper will include summaries and synthesis of 6 – 8 scholarly, peer-reviewed, evidence based, experimental study articles that are described briefly in an annotated bibliography due Week 5 of the course. These full literature review article summaries must expand on what is written in the annotations included in the Annotated Bibliography. The latter by nature would be very brief synopses in need of elaboration before inclusion in the paper, which must not be merely one summary after another with no meaningful connections between them, but rather the paper should describe how the summaries are related to one another. This must be done in the larger Literature Review paper via transition narratives between descriptions of the various summaries such that the paper interweaves all the articles into a coherent and well-articulated review of scholarly publications related to the paper topic focus. The paper will end with a minimum of two paragraphs summarizing points made and articulating suggestions for future research directions arising from the article reviews.

This assignment will be evaluated based on:

The degree to which the article summaries are truly integrated; arbitrary statements of “This is related to that” without supporting evidence of an actual connection will result in a significant point deduction.

Evidence of academically mature insight and use critical thinking skills in analyzing and relating the articles.

Clear and thorough articulation of the paper’s key points.

Compliance with APA paper formatting standards.

Minimal to no grammar, spelling or basic writing errors

Discuss the implications of agency that apply in this situation, and describe at least one (1) way the company may be able to cancel or return the order in question.

As a small-business owner, you are faced with rising costs, particularly employment costs, insurance, et cetera. So, you decide to hire some friends and pay them as they work, rather than go through the expense and procedure of bringing in “actual” employees. Your friends wear the business uniform, deal with vendors and customers, and tell friends and family that they work for the business. One friend / employee orders way too much from a vendor. The vendor has dealt with the person numerous times; in fact, the person has been ordering from the vendor for months.

  • Since the person who ordered was not an ”employee,” but a friend you hired, are you liable to pay for the improper order?
  • Discuss the implications of agency that apply in this situation, and describe at least one (1) way the company may be able to cancel or return the order in question.

Determine the per capita recycling value to 1 decimal place.

cenario – With several recent environmental disasters (e.g., BP oil spill, Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Hurricanes Katrina, Irene and Sandy, etc.), many metropolitan areas have been looking for ways to be more environmentally conscious … AND perhaps to make some money.  For several years, towns/cities in Northern Virginia have been running trial programs for recycling paper, bottles, and cans.  Last year, twenty one towns plus the District of Columbia decided to hold a competition to determine the municipality that did the best job of recycling, with the focus on aluminum cans.  It is an important program given the outdoor opportunities around the region, including the Appalachian Trail, the C&O Canal, the Potomac River, and the Chesapeake Bay, among others.  To make the contest fair, the winning town/city will be the one that recycles the largest number per capita, i.e., the number of cans recycled divided by the number of residents for that town/city.

 

Ali Tambor (everyone calls her “Al”) is the competition coordinator for the recycling project.  Al has provided you with some data (and a rough starting point for the spreadsheet) in the file “HW1 – Spring 2016 – Recycling Cans.xls .”

 

  • First, Al would like for you to alphabetize the list of participating towns/cities in an Excel worksheet according to the state.  Display the numbers and create the formulas to compute the total recycling for each city by the year (for the data given).  This should be a whole number in the standard display as discussed in the Excel data validation handout.  Make sure you break out Washington DC from the Northern Virginia (NOVA) towns.  Include the additional data provided in Additional Data, Word document (1 pt).
  • Determine the per capita recycling value to 1 decimal place.  This will determine the contest winner for the first six months of 2015 (including Washington, DC).  Use conditional formatting to determine the largest per capita value for the Jan-June timeframe (e.g. after the six month period, which city would win? (1 pt).
  • In addition, she wants to know a few statistics about the monthly recycling efforts, including the minimum, average, and maximum values for the number of cans recycled for each month, i.e., what was the smallest number of cans recycled, the average, and the largest for each month).  Break this out by Northern Virginia towns/cities (as the Washington DC numbers would constitute the smallest

Describe the roles and responsibilities by groups (e.g., position director of network security, the network security manager, network security engineers, IT area), defining roles and responsibilities.

he purpose of this Capstone Project is for students to examine and solve real world information assurance problems and apply associated techniques to create practical solutions. The course takes an integrative and senior security officer approach to address the policy, risk, and control opportunities within cyberspace and IT environments. Deliverables 1 through 5 focus on preparing students toward the final Capstone Project. Skills, experience, and knowledge gained through the completion of prerequisite courses will be used throughout each deliverable. The project contents to be addressed are as follows:

Project Deliverable 5: Cybersecurity Policy Catalog

Project Deliverable 5 is a two-part deliverable using MS Word and MS Project, or their open source equivalents. This assignment focuses on information as an asset and logical security techniques for a hypothetical law firm. The goal of this deliverable is to secure an information security policy, suggesting the fundamental guidelines should an untoward event occur. It can be seen that information assets security management can be reduced down to three (3) basic principles: integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Structure a policy around and within computers and associated equipment, as well as the people using it. Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Identify the activities in the doctor’s office that fall into process time, inspection time, move time, wait time, and storage time.

 

Discussion 1) When comparing various divisions within a company, describe what problems can arise from evaluating divisions that have different accounting methods, as described in Chapter 11 of your text.  Cite three examples of accounting methods that could cause divisions’ profits to differ. Your initial post should be 200-250 words.

 

Discussion 2) (Exercise 12-12) Dr. Steve Rosenthal has his own medical practice. He specializes in the treatment of diabetics. His staff consists of a receptionist, two nurses, a lab technician, and a dietitian. As patients enter the outer office, they check in with the receptionist. The patient then waits until called by a nurse. When called, the patient moves from the waiting room to the inner offices. The patient must weigh in and is then assigned a room. The nurse assigning the patient to a room gathers all the personal data for updating the medical records, such as insulin dosage, medication, illnesses since last visit, etc. The nurse also takes an initial blood sample for blood sugar testing and performs a blood pressure test. The patient then waits until the doctor comes in. After the doctor’s conference, the nurse returns to take more blood samples, depending on what is ordered by the doctor. The patient then waits until the dietitian comes to review eating habits and talk about how to improve meal planning and weight control. The patient returns to the receptionist to pay for the office visit and to schedule the next visit.

In your response include the following:

  • Identify the activities in the doctor’s office that fall into process time, inspection time, move time, wait time, and storage time.
  • List the activities in the doctor’s office that are candidates for non value-added activities. Explain why y
