Industrial Engineering for Science Consuming Industry. Part 1. Tutorial

The distribution of scores according to class activities:

-for practical training the undergraduate can earn up to 3 points for performing tasks in each class. Because of the importance of both practical (work in class on the computer) and theoretical training (preparation of review reports) both types of work are graded equally. Thus, a student can get a maximum of 42 points in practical classes.

-for the preparation of an abstract the student can receive up to 10 points. For presentation - up to 8 points. The total for the abstract is up to 18 points.

The total number of points a student can get per semester is 60

points.

At the end of the semester a differential testing is carried out, for which a student can receive up to 40 points.

The total maximum score that a student can get for the full development of theoretical and practical skills provided by the course is 100 points.

The minimum score that allows the student to take the final test is 35 points.

The sum grade for mastering the course is given according to the ECTS protocol.

Lesson 2: Modeling of information flow within the organization.

A brief introduction to the notation DFD. Data flow diagrams (Data Flow Diagrams - DFD) is a hierarchy of functional processes connected by data streams. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how each process converts its inputs into outputs, as well as to identify the relationship between these processes. To construct DFD traditionally two different notations are used, consistent with methods Yourdon-DeMarco and Gane-Serson. These notations are slightly different from each other in graphic symbols (in the examples Gane-Serson notation is used). In accordance with this method, the system model is defined as a hierarchy of data flow diagrams describing the process of converting the asynchronous data from its input to output before it gets to the user. Sources of information (external entities) generate information flows (data streams) that carry information to subsystems or processes. Those, in turn, convert the information and generate new streams that carry information to other processes or subsystems, data storage devices or external entities - consumers of information. Diagrams of the upper levels of the hierarchy (context diagram) define the basic processes or subsystems with external inputs and outputs. They are being detailed using the lower level. Such decomposition continues, creating a layered hierarchy charts until it reaches the level of decomposition, on which there’s no need to detail the processes any longer.

The composition of the data flow diagram

The main components of data flow diagrams are:

-external entities;

-systems and subsystems;

-processes;

-data Storage;

-data streams.

External entity is a material object or an individual, who are a source or receiver of information, such as customers, employees, suppliers, warehouse. Determination of an object or system as an external entity indicates that it is outside the boundaries of the system being analyzed. During the analysis, some external entity can be transferred inside the diagram of the analyzed system, if necessary, or, on the opposite, part of the processes can be placed outside the diagram and presented as an external entity.

When constructing a model of a complex system, it can be represented as a contextual diagram as a whole, or may be decomposed into a number of subsystems.

Subsystem number is used to identify it. In the name field enter the name of the subsystem with a sentence with a subject and the relevant definitions and additions. Process is the conversion of input data streams to the output in accordance with a certain algorithm. Physically, the process can be implemented in various ways: it can be an organizational unit (department), the processing of the input document and the release of the report, the program, implemented in hardware logic device, etc.

Building a hierarchy of data flow diagrams

The main purpose of constructing the hierarchy of DFD is to make the description clear and understandable system at each level of specification, and break it into pieces with a well-defined relationship between them. To achieve this, it is advisable to use the following guidelines:

-position on each chart from 3 to 6-7 processes (similar SADT). The upper limit corresponds to the human perception and the ability to simultaneously understand the structure of a complex system with many internal links, the lower limit is chosen for reasons of common sense: there is no need to detail the process diagram containing only one or two processes.

-do not clutter the diagram with irrelevant details at this level.

-decomposition of data streams is in parallel with decomposition processes. These two works must be carried out simultaneously, not one after the other.

-choose clear names, reflecting the essence of processes and flows, try not to use abbreviations.

The first step in constructing the hierarchy is to build a context

DFD diagrams. Typically, for the design of relatively simple systems a single context diagram with a star topology is constructed, the center of which is the so-called main process, connected to the receivers and sources of information through which users and other external systems interact with the system. Before constructing a context DFD it is necessary to analyze external events (external entities) that have an impact on the functioning of the system. The number of flows on the context diagram should be as small as possible, since each of these may be further divided into several levels of flow charts in the following.

To check the context diagram can make a list of events. List of events must consist of descriptions of actions of external entities (events) and the corresponding system reactions to events.

Each event must correspond to one or more data streams: as input streams are interpreted as feedback and output currents - as the reaction of the system to the input streams.

For complex systems (signs of complexity may be the presence of a large number of external entities (ten or more), the distributed nature of the system or its versatility) the hierarchy of context diagrams is constructed. The context diagram of the upper level contains not the only the main process and a set of subsystems, connected by data flow. Context diagrams of the next level detail the structure of subsystems and the context.

For each subsystem, present in context diagrams, the specification is performed using DFD. This can be done by constructing a diagram for each event. Each event is represented as a process with appropriate input and output streams, data storage devices, external entities and links to other processes to describe the relations between this process and its environment. Then all charting is summarized into one diagram of zero level.

Each process in the DFD, in turn, can be detailed using DFD or (if the process simple) specification. The specification of the process should formulate its basic functions so as the next specialist performing the project would be able to perform them or develop an appropriate program.

Specification is the ultimate pinnacle of the hierarchy of DFD. The decision of the completion of the process and the detail specification made by the analyst using the following criteria:

-that the process has a relatively small number of input and output data flows ( 2-3 flows);

-ability to describe the data conversion process as a sequential algorithm;

-completing the process of converting a single logical function of the input information to the output;

-the possibility of describing the logic specification process using a small volume (no more than 20-30 lines).

Specifications are the descriptions of task algorithms performed by

the processes. They contain the number and / or name of the process, a list of input and output data and the body (description) of the process which is the specification of the algorithm or operation, transforming the incoming

data flows into the outgoing. Specification languages can range from a structured natural language or pseudocode to visual modeling languages.

Structured natural language is used for clear and rigorous description of the specification process. When applying it, use the following agreements:

-the logics of the process is expressed as a combination of successive designs, constructions and the choice of iterations;

-the verbs should be active, unambiguous and action-oriented (fill, calculate, extract and not upgrade, process);

-the logics of the process should be expressed clearly and unambiguously.

When building a hierarchy of DFD proceed to detail of the

processes only after the determination of all the flows and storage of data, which is described using data structures. For each data flow a list of all its data elements are listed, data elements are then combined into a data structures corresponding to the larger data objects (lines of documents or domain objects). Each object should consist of elements that are its attributes. Data structures can contain alternative, conditional entry and iteration. Conditional entry means that this component may not be present in the structure (for example, the structure of «data about insurance» for the object «employee»). Alternative means that the structure may comprise one of the listed items. Iteration means the occurrence of any of the elements in the specified range (for example, the element «name the child» object «employee»). For each data element its type can be indicated (continuous or discrete data). For continuous data a unit of measurement may be indicated, range of meanings, the accuracy of representations and the shape of physical coding. Discrete data can be specified in a table of acceptable meanings.

After building a complete model of the system it is necessary to verify it (check for completeness and consistency). In its fullness all objects (subsystems, processes, data flows) should be described and detailed. Identified unspecified objects should be specified by returning to the previous steps of development. In a coherent model for all data flows and data storage the rules of conservation of information must be applied: all incoming data must be read and written down.

When modeling business processes data flow diagrams (DFD) are used to construct models of «AS-IS» and «AS-TO-BE», reflecting thus, existing and proposed structure of the business processes of the organization
