PART B
Prepare use case description for system.
The use cases are typically written by enterprise analyst which can be employed during various
stages of software development such as planning, validating design, testing and also creating
online help and user manual (García, 2020). In some situation, it can be recorded the flow of
information by using diagram which providing the brief idea where how Forest company will use
system to manage their wooden product as well as service in global marketplace.
Figure 1
Use case is based on the methodology used in the system for analyzing, identifying, clarifying
and organizing system requirement. Generally, it made up of a set of possible sequence
interaction between system as well as user within in particular environment. It also relates to the
particular goal and objective. Use-case method will create document that explaining all step
which undertaken by user to complete all activities.
The forest company will consider use case diagram for understanding flow of information within
organization.

Use case description
Use case Name Use case of Wooden item management system
Description The use case is mainly representing the overall
business activities where how customer use
system to purchase different wooden items. In
order to take better services because many
prefer to choose wooden item which always
attract a lot of people.
Actor  Administrator
 Customer
Flow of action The organization use the new system to update
details about wooden harvesting and other raw
materials. It became easier for customer to
check the availability of product as well as
services.
 Initially, customer login the system to
view the product and check their
quality, price.
 Admin update, delete and modify the
details on regular basis.
 If client want to purchase wooden item
which require to add into cart and the
purchase.
 Admin update inventory item while
customer will select shipping methods.
Precondition The customer will check the availability of
4

item and then try to purchase item.
Post condition After selecting the product that client want to
find out suitable method for shipping.
Exceptional Customer add wrong item into cart.
Table: 1
In above diagram, it is mainly described the flow of information between customer and
administrator. Customer want to check the information or data which require to purchase the
product as per requirement. In future, it also accessed the system to check the availability of
inventory item because admin update details on regular basis. In order to manage and control the
system in proper manner.

Complete class diagram which developed in Part A.
Figure 2
The class diagram is generally representing the main building block of object-oriented
modelling. It is used for purpose of conceptual modelling which easily maintain the overall
structure of application in detailed manner. Sometimes, it help for translating the model into
programming code. In another way, it can be said that class diagram is main building blocks of
every object oriented method.
As above diagram, it can be representing the different classes, relationships, interface and
collaboration between them. Since, classes are considered as building block of an application
that is based on the OOPs. Therefore, class diagram will be representing the appropriate structure
to represent classes (Li, Wang and Wu, 2020). It is mainly include product, owner, and suppliers.
These are different classes which mainly consists of unique id for establishing the relationship
one or more classes.

Develop state machine diagram by using business modelling processes.
State machine diagram typically are used to describe state dependent behaviour of
particular object. In order to give a response in different ways on the specific event. Sometimes,
it is depending on state where how they will perform the task in step by step manner (Micieta,
Fusko and Furmannova, 2020). Generally, it is applied on the objects but can be used to any
other elements that has behaviour to another entities.
Figure 3
The diagram is mainly representing the state from one end to another end. It will require
to understand the process in step by step manner. Initially, customer want to create the account
on the system. If customer select the product for purchasing so that they will choose shipping
method to make payment. Furthermore, it is also delivering the item at the location while
providing the confirmation message to customer. In this way, each and every process are
performing different actions.
As per discussion, it has been identified that state machine diagram give an abstract
description of behavior of system. It easily analyzing and representing by series of event which
mainly occurred in one or more possible states.
Differentiate activities such as value adding, business-value adding and non-value adding.
There are different activities that mainly performed by organization in order to increase
overall enterprise performance as well as efficiency.
Value added activities
These are considered the activities those who mainly added more value to business
processes and products. Forest firm is basically used the new system for attracting a lot of
customer towards their product as well as services. Value added activities are helping in
7

converting a product from a state of raw material to finished item. Forest company will focus on
the multiple tree to manufacture various wooden item. In fact, it has developed the harvesting
equipment which are made by wood materials (Poels, García and Piattini, 2020). The primary
aim is to complete the business activities which are correctly in first time and useful for business
to deliver the better item, service. Therefore, it can easily fulfilling the demand of existing
customers.
Non-value added activities
These are considered those which do not add any value to product as well as service but it
always inherent part of multiple processes. Customers are not willing to pay for such service
related wooden item. In this way, it has been proved to be burden on the forest organization and
directly affects on its efficiency (Poels, García and Piattini, 2020). There are some valuable
resources applied and also engaged in the completing different activities. Despite the fact that
such activity is becoming slow down the progress of company.
Business value added activities
It is another important activities performed by organization where they can implement
change in product as per requirement. In this way, it help for improving overall business
performance and efficiency in future. These are considered those activities for which client is not
willing to pay but running the process in regular basis. It can be working on control, audits and
reduce the risk. In order to support for maintain value added work in proper manner.

Calculate cycle time efficiency
Cycle time efficiency = A = 15/75 = 0.2 = 20%
B1 + B2 = 190.32/3886.32 = 0.0489 = 4.89%
Identify the issues that register for this process.
An effective processes are how enterprise develop and grow, without affecting the business
activities. Sometimes, it is very difficult for stakeholder to make improvement which turn into
business more successful. In this way, it is managing the process and identifying what is quite
right for improvement.
During process execution, It can be identified the various risks such as financial, lack of
resources and operational risk. That’s why, it can be implemented the risk register tool in the
organization to identify potential risk in proper manner. In order to include specific information
related risk such as nature, level of risk (Poels, García and Piattini, 2020). Afterwards, it become
easier for organization to manage or control risk in proper manner. To collect the possible threat
that can show up them managing a project requirement within systematic approach.

Propose the set of changes to improve process with justification.
The business process need to be constantly changing and evolving to adapt or bring
satisfaction for customer as efficiently. The Forest Company is continuously looking for
leadership that can control or manage the overall mechanism of redesign project. In order to
implement the overall business strategy for achieving the specific result or outcome (Poels,
García and Piattini, 2020). As the set of changes within business which require to start with
objective and end with achievement. Furthermore, it will be added more value for customers.
Different processes are divided into different ways.
Operational: The Forest based company include core enterprise which added value stream,
collecting information of service within system. it involves customer details, order, delivery,
manufacturing, supplier. This type of change will automatically improve the condition of
business.
Management: generally, it is including different processes such as corporate governance,
staff member’s oversight and budget. Moreover, organization will change the process while
using budget calculating tool or platform (Micieta, Fusko and Furmannova, 2020). It supports for
identifying future growth rate of business with the help of new technology system. This change
will be improving the business performance as well as efficiency.
Supporting: In this process, it should include accounting, technical support and
recruitment approach. Forest Company is adapting new platform for establishing coordination
between supporting team where they can easily share information from one department to
another through platform.
As per discussion, it has been justified that setting a unique idea which completely
changing the overall business capabilities. it automatically increases speed of different processes
within organization.

Draw a to-be BPMN model that appropriate for proposed changes.
Business process modelling notation is based on the method of illustrating enterprise
process in order to represent in the form of flow chart. BPMN is usually assembled from set of
core element which making it easy for both non-technical as well as technical observer (Micieta,
Fusko and Furmannova, 2020). Therefore, they can easily understanding the process of business
in proper manner.

Figure 4 Business process modelling notation
In Figure-4, it can be representing the different steps which mainly performed specific task in
proper manner. It consists of different phases which each one set up changes to adapt new thing
for business improvement. In order to perform the appropriate changes for managing and
controlling overall business capabilities.
