Question

Scenario: Of The Month Club (OTMC)

Consider a System Request that has been received for the following proposed System:  

• Of‐the‐Month Club (OTMC) is an innovative young firm that sells memberships to people who have an interest in certain products.  

• People pay membership fees for 1 year and each month receive a product by mail. For example, OTMC has a coffee‐of‐the‐month club that sends members one pound of special coffee each month.  

• OTMC currently has six memberships (coffee, wine, beer, cigars, flowers, and computer games), each of which costs a different amount.  

• Customers usually belong to just one, but some belong to two or more. • When people join OTMC, the telephone operator records the name, mailing address, phone number, e‐mail address, credit card information, start date, and membership plan(s) (e.g., coffee). A new system would allow members to self-enroll via the web. • Some customers request a double or triple membership (e.g., 2 pounds of coffee, three cases of beer).  

• The computer game membership operates a bit differently from the others. In this case, the member must also select the type of game (action, arcade, fantasy/science fiction, educational, etc.) and age level.  

• OTMC is planning to greatly expand the number of memberships it offers (e.g., video games, movies, toys, cheese, fruit, vegetables), so the system needs to accommodate this future expansion.  

• OTMC is also planning to offer 3‐month and 6‐month memberships.
