Use the following problem statement as your source for building the course project use case diagram. Follow the same thought process that we
used in the simulation.
The receiving clerks receive incoming shipments by matching purchase orders against the stock in the shipment. They inform the Accounts Payable
department when the purchase order items have been received.
Stocking
The stock may come from cancelled orders, returned orders, and received shipments. The stock is placed in the warehouse in predefined
locations. The stock clerk looks up the correct location for the new stock, places the stock in that location, and updates the inventory with
the location and quantity.
Order Fulfillment
Other staff members fill orders by locating the stock required for the order. As they fill the order they update inventory to reflect the fact
that they have taken the stock. They also notify the Order Processing department that the order has been filled.
Shipping
When the orders are filled they are then packed and prepared for shipping. The shipping folks contact the shippers to arrange delivery and
update inventory to record the fact that the products actually shipped. They also notify the Order Processing department that the order has
shipped.
