Mini Case 1: Kitchen Gadgets
Kitchen Gadgets sells a line of high-quality kitchen utensils and gadgets. When customers place orders on the company’s website or through electronic data interchange (EDI), the system checks to see if the items are in stock, issues a status message to the customer, and generates a shipping order to the warehouse, which fills the order. When the order is shipped, the customer is billed. The system also produces various reports.
Task:
Draw a context diagram for the order system.
