Suppose that you have been asked to create an information system for a manufacturing plant that produces nuts and bolts of many shapes, sizes, and functions. What questions would you ask, and how would the answers to those questions affect the database design? a. What do you envision the SDLC to be? b. What do you envision the DBLC to be?

A. What do you envision the SDLC to be?

Creation of an information system:

To create an information system an initial study and following phases are need to be made by the designer because they will create an impact to the design of the database.

The information is collected in order to establish details about the entities, relationships among the entities generated.

Business rules that are shaped up through relationships, connectivity and cardinalities are being obtained and collected through designer.

Question that can be asked in order to create an information system:

The below are some of the sample questions that can impact the design of the database:

Is it required to develop the database for all departments at once or whether it is required to design and implement the database for one particular department?

What will the design approach required that could affect the process of designing?

What type of development is required, one module at a time or integrated system approaches (Example: Billing, production, shipping and inventory) ?

What type of tracking system is required that is in terms of tracking the nuts and bolts through lot number, by shift, by production, by type or by department?

What type of tracking system is required for the suppliers of each batch that is in terms raw materials used in the production of the nuts and bolts?

Is it required to track the customer information regarding the receive summary of nuts and bolts based on batches?

What type of reporting system is required that is what type of reporting requirements are required and who requires the distribution report details needs to be specified?

Effect of the questions that are asked:

The answers to the above question affect the database design in conceptual and in logical way along with the implementation, testing made with the subsequent operations.

Explanation:

A) SDLC: (System Development Life Cycle)

SDLC is a sequential process which is used to trace the history of the application that is present within the information system.

The history of the application can be traced from the beginning till its last even though being outdated.

It is composed of five phases:

Planning:

This phase is used to gain overall overview and objective of the company.

Analysis:

Problems are being analyzed.

Design made in detailed:

Overall design gets implemented.

Implementation:

Required hardware, software and application programs are installed along with the database design implementation.

Maintenance:

Requirements changes request made by the end user are managed ...
