The All-Time Costume (ATC) company is located in downtown
Sacramento. The copany
rents costumes primarily for theater and television groups. When a
company lacks the resources
(time or expertise) to construct a costume in its own shop, they
ring up ATC.
The shop (more aptly visualized as a warehouse) goes on for three
floors full of costume racks,
holding thousands of costumes hung together by historical period,
and then by costume size. Most
theater companies are able to locate precisely what they need with
help of Annie, assistant manager.
Information about available costumes are kept in a card file. A
company calls up, or a representative
comes by, and speaks with Annie, the head of costume inventory. She
checks the card file to
determine if the costume is available during the desired dates. If
the item is available, a rental
agreement is filled out and filed with the rental records. The item
can be payed for when it is ordered
or when it is picked up.
Information about the different companies which rent from ATC are
also kept on card files. This
information includes the name, address, telephone number of the
contact person for the company as
well as the type of rentals they have made in the past and the
dates of those rentals.
You have been hired to help ‘fix’ the current system at ATC. What
alternatives would you suggest?
Which would you choose? Why?
