MIS 374 Rev 02 Process Modeling: Context Diagrams and Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) Introduction Figuring out the business processes for complex systems can be complicated. For example‚ if the goal is to streamline an existing supply chain process‚ your investigation will cross multiple business units‚ perhaps starting with an on-line order‚ a retail store pick-up‚ or a telephone order. How does the current process work to replace items in inventory storage and on retail shelves? Computer systems

Flow charts are easy-to-understand diagrams showing how steps in a process fit together. This makes them useful tools for communicating how processes work‚ and for clearly documenting how a particular job is done. Furthermore‚ the act of mapping a process out in flow chart format helps you clarify your understanding of the process‚ and helps you think about where the process can be improved. A flow chart can therefore be used to: •Define and analyze processes. •Build a step-by-step picture of

Using Data Flow Diagrams Data flow diagram is used by system analyst to put together a graphical representation of data processes throughout the organization. It depicts the broadest possible overview of system inputs‚ processes‚ and outputs. A series of layered data flow diagrams may be used to represent and analyze detailed procedures in the larger system. By using combinations of only four symbols‚ the system analyst can create a pictorial depiction of processes that will eventually provide

In the late 1970s data-flow diagrams (DFDs) were introduced and popularized for structured analysis and design (Gane and Sarson 1979). DFDs show the flow of data from external entities into the system‚ showed how the data moved from one process to another‚ as well as its logical storage. Figure 1 presents an example of a DFD using the Gane and Sarson notation. There are only four symbols: Squares representing external entities‚ which are sources or destinations of data. Rounded rectangles

What is a data flow diagram? Why do systems analysts use data flow diagrams? Answers: A picture of the movement of data between external entities and the processes and data stores within a system. Systems analysts use DFDs to help in the analysis phase by accomplishing the following three things: 1. Requirements Determination 2. Requirements Structuring 3. Alternative Generation and Selection 3. Explain the rules for drawing good data flow diagrams. Answers: Process: A. No process can have only
