Team members’ roles

/in /by

8-10 pages report in length, excluding figures, tables, equations, and references.
Executive summary (max ½ page), cover page, and table of content are needed but are not included within the page limit count.
Report should emphasize the design alternatives considered and the criteria used to select a “best” alternative.
Report should also emphasize all relevant design constraints
Project management aspects of the selected design should be outlined, including tasks breakdown, work schedule, team members’ roles, and resource identification.
Describe your progress on the project so far and the meetings conducted with your Mentor(s). State your challenges and how to overcome them

Effort Estimation Exercise

/in /by

Show all your workings

  1. The size (that is, the effort needed to complete it) of any task will depend on its characteristics. The units into which the work is divided will also differ. Identify the factors affecting the size of the task and the work units for the following activities:
    • installing computer workstations in a new office
    • transporting assembled personal computers from the factory where they were assembled to warehouses distributed in different parts of the country
    • typing in and checking the correctness of data that is populating a new data base
    • System testing a newly written software application
    (10 Marks)
  2. If you were asked as an expert to provide an estimate of the effort needed to make certain changes to an existing piece of software, what information would you like to have to hand to assist you in making that estimate? (2Marks)
  3. A small application maintains a telephone directory. The database for the application contains the following data types:

Staff reference
Surname
Forenames
Title
Department code
Room number
Telephone extension
E-mail address
Fax number

Transactions are needed which:
i) set up new entries;
ii) amend existing entries
iii) delete entries
iv) allow enquirers to list on line the details for a particular member of staff
v) produce a complete listing of the telephone directory entries in alphabetical order

a) Use this scenario to produce an estimated Mark II FP count. List all the assumptions you will need to make. (10 Marks)

b) Another requirement could be to produce the listing in (v) in departmental order. In your view should this increase FP count and if so by how much? (2 Marks)

  1. The following details are held about previously developed software modules.

module inputs entity types accessed outputs days
a 1 2 10 2.60
b 10 2 1 3.90
c 5 1 1 1.83
d 2 3 11 3.50
e 1 3 20 4.30
A new module has 7 inputs, one entity type access and 7 outputs. Which of the modules a to e is the closest analogy in terms of Euclidean distance? (3 Marks)

  1. Using the data in further exercise 4 above, calculate the Simons Mark II FPs for each module. Using the results, calculate the effort needed for the new module described in exercise 4. How does this estimate compare to the one based on analogy? (13 Marks)

An automobile radar detectors

/in /by

Question 1
Radar Expert: Radar Expert makes automobile radar detectors and assembles two models LaserStop and SpeedBuster. The firm can sell all it produces. Both models use the same electronic components. Two of these can be obtained only from a single supplier. For the next month, the supply of these is limited to 4,000 of component A and 3,500 of component B. The number of each component required for each product and the profit per unit are given below.
Components Required / Unit
Model A B Profit Per Unit
LaserStop 18 6 $24
SpeedBuster 12 10 $40
Identify the decision variables, objective, and constraints, and enter suitable descriptions in Cells D2:D5 (textual descriptions) and J2:J6 (formulas and constraints) of the spreadsheet named “Radar Expert” inside the file. Then formulate a linear optimization model and implement the model using Microsoft Excel’s Solver feature (do not round any numbers in the spreadsheet; do not restrict any decision variables to be integer). Based on the results, what is the optimal total profit generated? Enter numeric digit(s) in the nearby box and round your answer to two decimal places (do not use any non-numeric symbol except a decimal point).

Question 2
Radar Expert: Based on the linear optimization model implemented in the previous question, how many units of SpeedBuster are produced when the optimal total profit is achieved? Enter numeric digit(s) in the nearby box and round your answer to two decimal places (do not use any non-numeric symbol except a decimal point).

Question 3
Radar Expert: Based on the linear optimization model implemented in the previous question, how many units of LaserStop are produced when the optimal total profit is achieved? Enter numeric digit(s) in the nearby box and round your answer to two decimal places (do not use any non-numeric symbol except a decimal point).

Question 4
Radar Expert: Based on the linear optimization model implemented in the previous question, which constraint(s) is / are binding? Select all that apply.
o o o The constraint on A
o o o The constraint on B
o o o None of the constraints

Question 5
Radar Expert: Based on the linear optimization model implemented in the previous question, what is the slack value in the non-binding constraint? Enter numeric digit(s) in the nearby box and round your answer to two decimal places (do not use any non-numeric symbol except a decimal point).

Question 6
Stock Investment: An MBA student has $2,500 available to invest in three potential stocks, of which their cost per share and expected return over the next 2 years are given in the table below.
Stock A B C
Price / share $25 $15 $40
Return / share $12 $7 $12
Identify the decision variables, objective, and constraints, and enter suitable descriptions in Cells D2:D4 (textual descriptions) and K2:K4 (formulas and constraints) of the spreadsheet named “Stock Investment” inside the same file mentioned in the previous question. Then formulate a linear optimization model and implement the model using Microsoft Excel’s Solver feature (do not round any numbers in the spreadsheet; do not restrict any decision variables to be integer). Based on the results, what is the optimal total return generated? Enter numeric digit(s) in the nearby box and round your answer to two decimal places (do not use any non-numeric symbol except a decimal point).
Question 7
Stock Investment: Based on the linear optimization model implemented in the previous question, how many shares of Stock A are purchased when the optimal total return is achieved? Enter numeric digit(s) in the nearby box and round your answer to two decimal places (do not use any non-numeric symbol except a decimal point).
