Pg 43 A cleaning business currently uses a manual system to collect customer information and allocate jobs to each of its cleaning staff. The business is investigating the possibility of computerising the existing system. The data flow diagram below models the existing manual system. Currently each process is completed manually by one of the system’s participants.

a) Two different symbols on the data flow diagram refer to customers. Compare and contrast 2 the use of these two symbols using specific examples from the data flow diagram. b) Cleaning jobs are allocated on a priority basis. All customers are allocated a certain priority, higher priority customers having their jobs completed first. Recurring jobs are allocated a particular time and all other jobs must be allocated around these times. Using the data flow diagram together with the above information describe the likely contents of the data flow labelled ‘Customer Details’ and ‘Job Details’. 2 c) Propose suitable techniques that could be used to identify problems, present within the 2 existing manual system.

Pg 61 The Australian federal government is considering implementing a new system for doctor's patients to claim their Medicare rebates for doctors who do not bulk bill their patients. The existing system works in the following way:  a patient goes to their doctor for a consultation  the patient receives an account (bill) from their doctor  the patient pays the doctor's account and receives a receipt  the patient takes (or posts) their receipt to a Medicare office  receipt is processed by the Medicare office  the patient receives a rebate (partial re-imbursement) from Medicare. The new system would amend the current system so that the doctor's surgery would be connected via a Wide Area Network to the Medicare office and as a result the processing of the account would occur at the surgery directly following the payment of the account. Patients would receive their rebate by direct deposit from Medicare into their bank account immediately after the account has been paid.

a) Describe three specific issues that should be considered when assessing the feasibility of the new system. b) Assuming the new system is to be developed, recommend and justify a suitable system development approach.

Pg 81 A bank’s loan approval system uses the following decision table as the basis for deciding on the type of loan granted to home buyers. Each home buyer submits their income and the purchase price, whilst a bank’s existing system provides the current total in the home buyer’s account together with the repayment history.

Project Management HSC Revision Questions

Pg 100 A farmer has recently read an article on a relatively new farming technique known as "Precision Agriculture". The article claims that Precision Agriculture increases yield and significantly reduces fertilizer, insecticide and other treatment costs. According to the article Precision Agriculture involves the detailed computer analysis of satellite photographs and soil chemistry data (from actual field tests) to determine differences in environmental conditions within precise areas of each field — some implementations analysed conditions for individual areas measuring less than a square metre. This information, together with historical rainfall and temperature data for the property (which is routinely collected by farmers on a daily basis), is used to accurately determine the optimum time and application rate of fertilizer, insecticide and/or other treatment for each specific area of each field. During treatment of a field, GPS technology is used to determine the tractor's precise location. The location is fed into an onboard computer, which causes the correct rate of each treatment to be applied to each specific area of the field. Sensors attached to the tractor collect soil chemistry data during the application of treatments — this data is then available when formulating future treatment plans. The following data flow diagram is an attempt to describe this system:

a) Identify and briefly describe each of the inputs into this system. b) Identify the information technology present on the tractor. c) Explain why files are required to store the Soil chemistry data and Application times and rates data within the above system.
