Figure 13-1 High-level business context

The expanding product lines of the Manufacturers presents ITSO Good with the

option of having multiple Manufacturers supplying the same product. And in the

face of stiff pricing competition within the market, ITSO Good have quickly

decided to enter into a volume-based agreements with their small, medium, and

large-scale manufacturing partners.

As a result, ITSO Good have come up with the following additional business

requirements:

1. The Warehouse systems should route the customer orders based on the

product quantity (volume) to different manufacturing partners.

2. ITSO Good also plans to enter into agreements with some more

manufacturing partners to support their growing order volumes, therefore they

would like the proposed IT solution to have the flexibility to maintain partner

profile information such as trade volumes and locations.
