GeneralAssessmentRequirement

Incomprehensible submissions. Assessments provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills to achieve the required standard. To do this, assessment responses need to be both clearandeasytounderstand.Ifnot,theUniversitycannotdeterminethatstudentshavedemonstratedtheir knowledgeandskills.Assessmentswill,therefore,bemarkedaccordinglyincludingthepotentialfor0(zero) marks where relevant.

Case Study. Assessment response must focus on the hypothetical Case Study given in the Task Instructions. Any assessment items that do not address the case study may be awarded 0 (zero) marks.

Check marking criteria. Before submitting your assessment, you should check it against the assessment criteriaandthemarkingrubricincludedinthisspecificationtoensurethatyouhavesatisfactorilyaddressed all the criteria that will be used to mark your submission.

Academic language. All submissions should be thoroughly proof?read for spelling, typographical or grammaticalerrorsbeforebeingsubmitted.Donotreplyonthespell?checkfunctioninyourwordprocessing program. If, for example, affect is substituted for effect, your program may not detect the error.

MIS501Assessment1CaseStudy

The integration of online and mobile platforms presents atransformative opportunity for Transports Business, offering a comprehensive digital management solution. This initiative aims to boost online sales, streamline order management processes, and automate data flow for shipments. B2B, a prominent transport company in Australia, recognizes the evolving business landscape and seeks to meet customer demands with a convenient and contactless mobile ordering system.

As a member of the development team at SAS, your role involves designing and implementing the mobileorderingprogram. Eachteammemberistaskedwithcompletingtenpredefinedindependent assignments, which will later converge to create the integrated platform. Prior to the application release deadline, the team must deliver the following ten programming tasks:

1.CustomerDetails:

Createaprogramthatallowscustomerstoentertheirdetailstocreateanewaccount.Eachcustomer should be asked to input the following information:

1. Customer'sname
   1. Mobilenumber
   2. Address
   3. Emailaddress
2. DateofBirth

The program should validate the entered details and store them securely (Using appropriate Data Structure). If the user registration is successful (based on age is more than 21 and mobile number is 10 digit), display a success message with all the entered details; otherwise, display an appropriate error message.

2.VehicleCapacity:

Write a program that advises the logistics manager on how many goods the company's vehicles can accommodate based on their dimensions. The program should ask the manager to input the length, width, and height of the vehicle in meters. If each cubic meter can hold 100 kilograms of goods, the program should calculate and output the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.

Note:Ifthecalculatedweightcapacityexceeds5000kilograms,theprogramshoulddisplayamessage indicating that the maximum weight capacity is 5000 kilograms.

3.DeliveryTimeEstimation:

Write a program that estimates the delivery time for a given route. The program should ask the user to input the distance of the route in kilometres and the average speed of the delivery vehicle in kilometres per hour. Using this information, the program should calculate and display the estimated delivery time in hours.

Note: If the calculated estimated delivery time is more than 15 hours, your code should take into accountthedriverrest time.Yourprogramshouldadd8hoursrest tothedeliverytimeand printthe total estimated delivery time accordingly.

4.CalculateTotalCost:

Create a program that calculates and prints the total cost of a delivery based on the weight of the goodsandthedeliverydistance.Theprogramshould asktheuser toinputtheweightofthegoodsin kilograms and the delivery distance in kilometres. The cost per kilometre is $0.10 per kilogram. The minimum delivery charges are $30 and the program should apply a 5% discount for deliveries over 100 kilometres. The program should then calculate and display the total cost of the delivery.

Note:Theprogrammustroundofftheweighttothenearestpositivevaluebeforecalculatingthecost of delivery.

5.RouteOptimization:

Writeaprogramthatoptimizesthedeliveryroutesformultipledestinations.Theprogramshould ask the user to input the Name of 3 destinations and the distances to each destination from the warehouse in kilometres. Using this information, the program should design the route such that the drivervisitsalldestinationsbasedonthedistanceinadescendingorder(i.e.startingwiththelongest delivery first) and return to the starting point. The program should then display the optimized route.

Note: If 2 destinations have same distance then it must prioritize the destination that has been entered first.

6.GoodsClassification:

Create a program that classifies goods into different categories based on their weight. The program shouldasktheusertoinserttheweightofagoodsiteminpounds.Basedontheweight,theprogram should categorize the goods as follows:

• Lightweight:Lessthan10kilograms
• Mediumweight:Morethan10to50kilograms
• Heavyweight:Morethan50kilogramsto120Kilograms
• Mustbedividedinsmallsizes:Morethan120Kilograms The program should then display the category of the goods.

7.DeliveryTracking:

Writeaprogramthattracksthedeliverystatusofapackage.Theprogramshouldasktheusertoinput thepackage'strackingnumberanddisplaythecurrentstatusofthepackage,suchas"Intransit,""Out for delivery," or "Delivered."

Note: Use list to store and access the data for some sample tracking (A00001D) numbers and their status "In transit," "Out for delivery," or "Delivered."

Note:

Theprogrammustasktheexampleoftrackingnumberacceptableforcheckingthestatus.

The Program must reply with an appropriate message if the tracking number is not in the records or invalid format.

8.DeliveryStatistics:

Createa programthat calculates and displays thestatistics of thecompany's deliveries. Theprogram should ask the user to input the destination of 3 deliveries and the delivery times for each delivery. Using this information, the program should calculate and display the average delivery time and the fastest and slowest delivery times with destinations.

9.DeliverySchedule:

Write a program that generates a delivery schedule for the company's drivers. The program should ask the user to input the name of 3 drivers and their license number (in a prescribed and acceptable format). The program should then ask to enter the number of delivery available and then display a assigned number of deliveries of each driver, ensuring that each driver has an equal number of deliveries except the last one who can have more than others if needed.

10.AccountSettings:

Implement a program that allows users to manage their account settings. Provide options to update their personal information (e.g., name, email address, password) and communication preferences (e.g., subscription to newsletters, promotional emails).

Note: Assume the account information are name, email address and password. The program saved the customer details in three list. A list comprises the names, another the email addresses and the third has the passwords. If a user has his name at position x in the first list, his email address will be found at the same position in the second lit and his password will be also saved in the same position inthethirdlist.Writeaprogramthattakesasinputtheuser emailaddressandpasswordtovalidate and then enable the user to update personal information (email address must be unique) and communication preferences.
