NOTE: The following example is the result of an analysis effort that was constructed with MS Visio and Word.

A.1         The Vision Statement

The vision statement is captured within a vision document and is a high-level overview of the purpose of the project and its purpose in improving the business [1].

I run a successful restaurant in the business area of a large city. It is a very nice restaurant with high-class clientele and excellent food.

In the evenings we hire only the best staff and prepare the best food in its class.

During the day, we entertain all sorts of riff-raff from the area. These customers require fast food of average quality and the minimal service that satisfies their needs for a good lunch; ordered from our cut-down menu of smaller plates organized by categories. During the day we clear the restaurant of its fixtures to allow for more tables with the purpose of serving as many customers in as short a time as possible. The lunchtime customers do not require excellent waiter service, and so we employ cheap unskilled labour to wait the tables. As a result the lunchtime waiters, although cheap, make too many mistakes and are not to be trusted. The aim of this effort is to eliminate lunchtime wait staff to the largest extent possible, while satisfying customer needs, and replace them with an automated system suitable for ordering fast food from our excellent kitchens.

A.2         Business Model

The business model describes the business as it is today.

A.2.1   Business Architecture

The business architecture diagram shows the various departments of the business and the interactions between them.

Business Architecture Diagram

                                                                              Figure 1:    Business Architecture Diagram

Restaurant department is responsible for everything to do with serving customers. This includes:

·         Assigning  tables,

·         Showing customers to an assigned table,

·         Holding customer belongings while in the restaurant,

·         Serving food,

·         Clearing tables,

·         Billing customers.

The kitchen is responsible for all food related activities of the restaurant, including:

·         Determining the menu items,

·         Preparing food,

·         Stocking ingredients,

·         Washing and cleaning kitchen and restaurant utensils.

Shipping and Receiving is responsible for incoming and outgoing restaurant items. These include:

·         Receiving food for the kitchen,

·         Receiving items for the restaurant,

·         Handling receipts for received items,

·         Garbage collection.

Stock Keeping is responsible for maintaining restaurant supplies. These include, managing kitchen stocks and ordering necessary items.

The Administration department is responsible for handling all incoming and outgoing restaurant finances. It receives receipts for bills from Shipping and Receiving, orders for items from Stock Keeping and receipts for taking from the Restaurant.

A.2.2   Business Use Cases

The following use cases are derived from the business vision and verified by the business stakeholders that they capture the scope of the vision. Actors are those roles gaining ‘benefit' [2] from the business use case.

BUC Diagram

                                                                                                Figure 2:    BUC Diagram

The above diagram does not contain a complete set of use cases, but includes those necessary to capture the functionality of the vision statement. All of the above use cases are candidates for automation.

Maintain Food Stocks – This use case is concerned with ensuring that the restaurant is properly stocked with food supplies. The Kitchen receives benefit from this use case.

Balance Books – This use case describes how finances are handled by the restaurant. The restaurant’s Bank receives benefit by ensuring that the restaurant remains solvent.

Handle Customer Requests – This use case handles complaints, queries and any general questions from a customer. The Customer is the actor receiving benefit from the use case.

Eat Food – This use case is concerned with seating, serving and billing the customer. The Customer is the actor receiving benefit from this use case.

A.2.3   Business Use Case Activity

The following activity diagram shows the steps of the BUCs, the workers that perform each step and the business objects that are manipulated by each step.

For the purposes of this exercise, it has been determined that only the ‘Eat Food’ BUC needs to be detailed.

A.2.3.1   Eat Food Business Use Case Activity

Eat Food BUC Activity Diagram With Business Objects

                                                     Figure 3:    Eat Food BUC Activity Diagram With Business Objects

Notes:

Note 1 – This is the initial state ‘Restaurant Is Open’ (to customers) and the triggering event ‘Customer Enters Restaurant’ exits this state.

Note 2 – There are many ways that you may indicate the workers of each action in your activity diagram, without the use of swimlanes. These include adding stereotypes to the actions. (I.e. adding a waiter stereotype would indicate that this is a ‘waiter’ type of action.) In Figure 3: I have used color to indicate which worker performs what action.

Note 3 – Notice that every action includes an output flow to an object. You might argue that a ‘Request’ or a ‘Greeting’ is not an artifact, but when we start modeling the application we may discover that this was a useful object to capture.

Note 4 – The seating chart is changed by the head waiter and as a result the table object has its status changed from ‘Open’ to ‘Occupied’.

Note 5 – Try and make decisions into questions with Boolean answers (‘Y’ or ‘N’). It makes the activity diagram easier to maintain.

Note 6 – This is an example of an alternate workflow. Notice that the flow begins with a decision and ends with a merge. The decision asks the question, does the customer wish to make use of the cloakroom?

Note 7 – An example of an activity. In this instance the activity is being used to indicate that there are a lot of missing actions here. They are captured by the Order, Prepare and Serve Customer use case fragment [3].

Note 8 – This is an example of an extended flow. We know that it is an extension to the use case, because it does not return to the basic flow.

Note 9 – This is an example of a fork. Notice how more elegant this notation is than trying to describe this activity with text.

Note 10 – This is the successful postcondition.

Note 11 – Retrieve Coat and Clean Table are use case fragments that are ‘included’ in the flow of this use case.

Note 12 – A non-successful postcondition.

A.2.3.2   Order, Prepare And Serve Customer use case Fragment

Order, Prepare And Serve Customer Activity

                                                                Figure 4:    Order, Prepare And Serve Customer Activity


A.2.4   Business Objects

Business objects describe the artifacts that are manipulated by the business by normal business practices.

The objects that have been identified from the BUC activity diagrams are placed as business objects on a business objects diagram.

The Business Objects Diagram

                                                                              Figure 5:    The Business Objects Diagram

  • Bill – A request for the customer to pay the cashier the amount indicated.
  • Cloakroom – Where a customer’s belongings are stored for the duration of their stay in the restaurant.
  • Cloakroom Request – An inquiry as to whether the customer wishes to make use of the restaurant’s cloakroom to stow their belongings.
  • Customer Belongings – That are exchanged for a cloakroom token.
  • Customer Request – A request for restaurant assistance from a customer.
  • Greeting – A welcome message to a customer entering the restaurant.
  • Kitchen – Where food is prepared.
  • Meal – Food served to a single customer at a single seating.
  • Menu – What the customer uses to order food.
  • Order – A combination of items from the menu for a single table.
  • Payment – Money handed to the cashier.
  • Restaurant – Where food is served to customers.
  • Seating Chart – Displays which tables are reserved and which are free, as well as their size and location in the restaurant.
  • Table – Reserved for customers in order that they may be served food.
  • Token – A unique identifier for customer items in the cloakroom.

 

A.3         Candidate Use Case Model

This is a throwaway model (i.e. it is not necessarily maintained) used to show how the business activity is to e automated for the project.

The following actions have been extracted from the BUC activity diagram as candidates for automation.

Candidate Use Case Activities

                                                                               Figure 6:    Candidate Use Case Activities

Candidate use cases have been added to the activity diagram to indicate where automation is anticipated.

 

A.3.1   Candidate Use Cases

Candidate Use Case Diagram

                                                                                Figure 7:    Candidate Use Case Diagram

The CUCs have been placed on a use case diagram and actors [4] have been added.

 

A.4         Application Model

The application model contains diagrams that capture the functionality of the application.

A.4.1   Application Deployment Diagram

The deployment diagram describes the existing [5] architecture to which the project will be deployed.

Menu System Deployment Diagram

                                                                         Figure 8:    Menu System Deployment Diagram

The ‘new’ menu system interfaces with 3 other systems.

  • For future release (Each time a payment is accepted by the system, the banking system is updated with the amount received.)
  • Menu items and menu categories are selected from the system database. These are updated through the database entry screen, (which is not within the scope of this project).
  • For future release (The menu system needs to inform the ordering system of food items that have been served to customers.)

 

A.4.2   Application Use Cases

The candidate application use cases have been condensed into 3 use cases that will be implemented for the first release of the product.

Application Use Cases Diagram

                                                                             Figure 9:    Application Use Cases Diagram

Figure 8: shows that the Browsing Menu, Order From Menu and Fulfill Menu Order CUCs representing steps in the BUC, have been realized by the Serve Customer AUC.

The Maintain Restaurant use case was added at the request of the head waiter in order to be able to add or remove tables for lunch seating.

  • The Request Assistance use case allows the customer to ask for ‘human’ help.
  • The Serve Customer use case is concerned with allowing the customer to order a meal from the restaurant menu.
  • The Maintain Restaurant use case is concerned with of the restaurant layout.

The analysis model confirms the completeness and correctness of the use case model.

A.5.1   Application Classes

Restaurant System Class Attributes Diagram

                                                               Figure 15:   Restaurant System Class Attributes Diagram

The following classes breakdown the system requirements into groups of related functionality.

  • Bill – Is concerned with billing the customer. A bill is specific to a bill for a table and has an amount.
  • Category – Is concerned with organizing the menu items into categories. A category is identified by its name and the table that it is being displayed at. (The same category may be displayed at many tables.)
  • Customer – Represents functionality that may be performed by people at an active table. The customer(s) are identified by the table they are seated at.
  • Kitchen – Represents functionality performed by the kitchen. There is only the one kitchen.
  • Menu – Represents the display of instructions and categories to the customer. The menu is identified by the table that it is displayed at.
  • MenuItem – Represents the information and functionality around orderable menu items. Each menu item has a unique name within its category. The menu item has a description and a cost. It is identified by the table that it is being displayed at.
  • Order – Represents the functionality concerned with placing an order with the system. The order is specific to a table at a specific time period. The order contains many menu items, which have a total amount, captured by the order.
  • Receipt – Represents the confirmed receipt of a payment. The receipt is a direct response to a bill being paid[7].
  • Restaurant – Represents the restaurant layout plan.
  • Table – Represents an available restaurant space for a customer. Each table has a unique identifier, a location in the restaurant, a customer capacity, records the number of customers currently assigned to the table, and whether it is available or not.

 

A.5.1.1   Bill States and Transitions

Bill State Transition Diagram

                                                                              Figure 16:   Bill State Transition Diagram

A bill is created when an order has been delivered. The bill is simply displayed to the customer and deleted once it has been paid. Deletion of a bill creates a receipt for the bill.

 

A.5.1.2   Category States and Transitions

Category State Transition Diagram

                                                                         Figure 17:   Category State Transition Diagram

When the customer selects a category it is created and displayed. If another category is created this one is deleted and no longer displayed.

 

A.5.1.3   Customer States and Transitions

Customer State Transition Diagram

                                                                        Figure 18:   Customer State Transition Diagram

Once a customer has been assigned to a table, the customer is created. Once the customer exists an order is created for that customer. The customer orders items from the menu onto the order. When the order is delivered the bill is created and displayed to the customer. The customer is served, and may be eating or paying their bill. The customer may be deleted from the table anytime and the table becomes free.

 

A.5.1.4   Kitchen States and Transitions

Kitchen State Transition Diagram

                                                                          Figure 19:   Kitchen State Transition Diagram

The kitchen is created when an order is confirmed. The order is displayed to the kitchen until the kitchen confirms that the order is delivered. Once the order has been delivered the order is deleted from the kitchen display.

 

A.5.1.5   Menu States and Transitions

Menu State Transition Diagram

                                                                            Figure 20:   Menu State Transition Diagram

The menu is created once a customer has been assigned to a table and an order created. The menu class allows the customer to select menu items from menu categories. The menu allows the customer to display menu categories or items on the menu. The menu remains displayed until the customer places their order or is unassigned from the table.

 

A.5.1.6   Menu Item States and Transitions

MenuItem state Transition Diagram

                                                                        Figure 21:   MenuItem state Transition Diagram

The menu item is displayed when it is selected for display from the menu. When a category is selected the menu item display is deleted.

 

A.5.1.7   Order States and Transitions

Order State Transition Diagram

                                                                            Figure 22:   Order State Transition Diagram

An order is created once a customer has been assigned to a table. The order creates the menu. While the menu class is active, the customer may add or remove items on the order. When the customer places the order the customer is asked to confirm their order. If the customer decides to change their order, the menu is displayed and the customer continues ordering. If the customer confirms the order, the kitchen is created, and the order is deleted.

 

A.5.1.8   Receipt States and Transitions

Receipt State Transition Diagram

                                                                          Figure 23:   Receipt State Transition Diagram

The receipt is created and displayed to the customer. Once the customer prints a copy of the receipt it is deleted.

 

A.5.1.9   Restaurant States and Transitions

Restaurant State Transition Diagram

                                                                       Figure 24:   Restaurant State Transition Diagram

Whil the system is operational,  the status of each table is continually updated on the restaurant display. Tables may be assigned or reserved as unavailable.

 

A.5.1.10Table States and Transitions

Table State Transition Diagram

                                                                            Figure 25:   Table State Transition Diagram

Tables are made available by the restaurant. Once available a table may be assigned to a customer, in which case it becomes occupied. While occupied a customer may request assistance from the restaurant. The restaurant may cancel the assistance request at any time. Once the customer at the table has been canceled the table is made available.

 

A.5.2   Application Realizations

The following diagrams show events that are triggered by operations between class instances.

A.5.2.1   System Event Sequence Diagram

The system hierarchy indicates the sequence in which objects are activated.

Class Hierarchy

                                                                                            Figure 26:   Class Hierarchy

When the system is active, the restaurant is created and may be used for business. While active the restaurant may make tables available or unavailable. When a customer is assigned to a table the customer is created. The customer assignment creates an order and this in turn creates a menu with which to fulfill the order. The menu creates categories for display to the customer. Categories may create menu items for display to the customer. The customer places menu items on (or removes from) the order until they place the order. When the order is confirmed, a kitchen object is created. When the kitchen delivers the order, a bill is created. Once the bill is paid a receipt is created.

A.5.2.2   Serve Customer Realization

How the Serve Customer use case is realized by the system objects.

Footnotes:

[1] A vision may also be applied to an application – in this case its intention is to describe an objective for improving the application.

[2] ‘Benefit’ is not a well-defined term. It should be a role outside of the use case worker roles.

[3] Ivar Jacobson name for an included, but non-complete use case. This is called out purely for readability reasons.

[4] Note that the actors have become the roles that ingratiate the use case.

[5] Existing, meaning that components are not part of this development effort, although budget needs to be allocated for work performed on these components in order to deploy the application.

[6] The format of the use case text is the default used by Rational RequisitePro

[7] When designing the model, it might be prudent to combine these bill and receipt classes.

[8] If the model is complete, consistent and can be verified by executing the model, then it implies that every functional requirement has been captured by an operation. [I have no proof for this statement.]

[9] ‘Customer’ means the ‘customer display’ for the sake of the requirements.

[10] The storyboard is purely an example, and does not reflect the needs of the actual requirements for the menu system.

[11] Not in scope for this project, but will require a change request for the database.

It seems that the original article (ttp://www.umllmu.com/pages/Blogs/Frames/AppendixA.htm is also 404.

However - I would also love to see the image. Any chance of getting it fixed?
