This assignment builds on the class example in complexity, but all the concepts apply.

You are a business analyst mapping the receiving and inventory put-away process for a small company. There are two actors in this process - the receiver and the inventory supervisor. The receiver is responsible for working at the dock and making sure the shipment is correct. The inventory supervisor then prepares this inventory to be sent to the correct location and ensures the inventory is accurate.

The process works as follows:

The shipment arrives at the dock and the receiver checks to make sure that the shipment is not damaged. If the shipment is damaged, the shipment is refused, and the process ends. If the shipment is not damaged, the receiver will scan the inventory into the inventory system. Once the inventory has been scanned, the receiver notifies the inventory supervisor that the shipment is ready to be processed.

The inventory supervisor needs to decide whether the inventory will be eventually sent to one of three locations. It will depend on the nature of the inventory. If they are large items, they will be placed into a special area for put away by forklifts. Small items are placed on a cart. Finally, some items are for internal use and will be placed into a room for internal employees to pick up. The inventory supervisor needs to send an email to the internal employees to let them know if a shipment has arrived for them, at which point this process ends.

For shipments not being used internally, the inventory supervisor must double check that the inventory has been loaded into the system properly. If not, the supervisor must notify IT and Finance that there is a problem, and this part of the process ends (this would start another process). If everything matches, the inventory supervisor must send an email notifying the receiver that the shipment has been successfully received and wait for a confirmation from the receiver - at which point the process ends.

Using Microsoft Visio and the BMPN method, draw this process.
