THE COURSEWORK OVERVIEW

MYSOFT Sdn Bhd is a business solution company. Recently, a project is received from its
customer titled Delivery Management System (DMS). The DMS provides functionalities to
support package delivery services. It is also featured a full range of services including
maintaining standing orders, recording customer payments, invoicing customers and
reporting. Numerous customer, product/services, and sales reports are also provided to
assist in business decisions. The users of this system are administrators, end-users, and the
managers.
Besides, a supporting document is needed to reflect that the design utilises object oriented
programming concepts.

COURSEWORK DESCRIPTION
DMS supports primarily package delivery services. Delivery package shall be selected by
the customers (usually members), assuming that there are several delivery packages at
different rates and delivery loads (Basic, Premium and Gold). In addition to delivery
package, customers or walk-in customers can also send the parcels at standard rate.

The delivery orders will be placed by the members or walk-in customers so that the delivery
management takes place. These orders can be known as standing orders will then be
managed by the end-users. Furthermore, the standing orders can be modified or place onhold from time to time or ready to deliver in accordance to destination addresses. In this
process, an invoice will be generated and stored in storage space.

In respect of payment, the customers can make payment periodically to the delivery
company and the payment is recorded. The customers information are maintainable
whereby personal contacts, billing information, current standing orders and delivery history
including modified or skipped deliveries. The DMS is expected to produce useful reports
for future decision making.

There are THREE (3) user roles: administrator, end-users and general manager.
Administrator is the system user which has full access control throughout the DMS
including administrative control panel, the control panel is an administrative page which
provides general settings before the program is in-use. End-users can be of clerk,
receptionist, operator, etc whoever the program designed for. These users are having
privilege access to the Standing Order Delivery, Customer Management, Payment, and
Invoice Generation features only. General Manager has full access control throughout the
DMS excluding administrative control panel.

Note: You are required to implement an access control for authentication and authorisation
of the system functions according to the user roles.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The program you submitted should be executed without errors and validation should be
done for each entry from the users to avoid logical errors. The implementation code must
highlight the use of object oriented programming concepts as required by the solution.
Besides, all the data that is added and edited must be saved in a data storage facility (either
textfile or database system). This is to make sure that the information can be retrieved when
the system is exited.

The theory was first propounded in 1970 (Larsen, A.E. 1971), but since
then has been refuted; M.K. Larsen (1983) is among those most
energetic in their opposition.
