Section D: Case study and knowledge application
(26 Marks]
You were hired by Kashivi Motors as a consultant to design a new information system. Kashivi
is an old-line dealership, and the previous owner was slow to change. A new management
team has taken over, and they are eager to develop a first-class system. Right now, you are
requested to analyse the service department, which is going through a major expansion. You
have decided to design a model of the service department in the form of a use case diagram.
The main actors in the service operation are customers, employees whose jobs responsibility
are to prepare work orders and invoices, and mechanics who are responsible for the repair or
maintenance work. You are meeting with the management team tomorrow morning.
Perform the following tasks for your presentation to the management.
1} Design a draft of the diagram to present to them?
(13 Marks]
2) Design the context diagram for this system to provide an overview of how the system
will operate.
