Assume that if the product requested is not in stock,it needs to be manufactured
before the order handling can continue. In this way, an order cannever be rejected.
To manufacture a product, the required raw materials have to beordered. Two
preferred suppliers provide different types of raw material.Depending on the prod-
uct to be manufactured, raw materials may be ordered from eitherSupplier 1 or
Supplier 2, or from both. Once the raw materials are available, theproduct can be
manufactured and the order can be confirmed. On the other hand, ifthe product
is in stock, it is retrieved from the warehouse before confirmingthe order. Then
the process continues normally. After confirming the order, theshipment address is
received and the requested product is shipped while the invoice isemitted and the
payment is received. Afterwards, the order is archived and theprocess completes.With respect to the above process, use thefollowing report format and provide
necessary discussion under each section:
1. Assumptions & Simplifications
- State all assumptions are made to abstract the system in theconceptual
model.
- Describe any simplifications are made during the abstractionprocess.
2. Plan of Input Data
- Describe all input data which are required to code yourconceptual model
into a computer model. Also, explain which of these data aredeterministic
and which are probabilistic and propose probabilitydistributions.
- Explain how to do you plan to collect these input data.
