Required:

Based on the narrative, your team should construct a comprehensive REA diagram describing your companys database (revenue cycle only). You may repeat a box for an individual entity if necessary to make your drawing neat. The owner would like for you to consider that, eventually, as new stores are opened, he/she will have store managers in each store that will perform the tasks he/she now performs. As a result, the system should be planned to always store information about the employee associated with transactions, whether that employee enters information, performs a task (such as delivery) or formally authorizes the transaction.

Prepare the context diagram and the level 0 DFD.

Fast and Furious, Inc. (FFI) manufactures die cast toy cars up to 1:18 scale. FFI manufactures the cars in their entirety. The detailing is done by hand and FFI is world-renowned for quality. Nevertheless, FFI has been able to keep its prices down. FFI primarily sells its products to upscale toy stores and specialty-collector shops. For the most part, FFI operates a process-flow manufacturing operation. However, FFI will take special orders, if the order quantity is greater than 200. Presently, FFI owns and operates 3 manufacturing plants located in the mid-western portion of the United States. FFI has 1300 full-time employees and 600 part-time employees. FFI has the capacity to produce 1000 cars per month. FFI's five-year plan is to expand into the Internet market, build 2 more manufacturing plants and increase their full-time employees by 2500 full-time and 400 part-time employees.
