Particularly for rented apartments, key control by apartment management is an important issue. Large jury awards have been made to victims of crimes in apartments because of negligent key control and use of a master key. A resident gives up some rights when they move into a multi-residential property. In most cases, the resident, per written agreement, cannot add or replace the lock on their door unless management is given an extra key. By doing this, the management assumes the responsibility of and legal liability for key control. Key control requires restriction and documentation of those who use back-up and master keys. The following measures help provide for. | Stock Manager An Analysis Pattern for Inventories Eduardo B. Fernandez Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton FL 33431 ed@ Abstract Inventories keep track of what an institution has such as parts finished goods furniture machinery etc. A good inventory system is a necessity for any modern business or manufacturing system. We present an analysis pattern for an inventory system that keeps track of quantity and location of items in stock and updates these quantities according to the different stages of manufacturing or production from component ordering to product shipping. This is a generic model defined from the abstraction of a real workable inventory and can be extended to fulfill more detailed requirements or similar applications. This pattern is a composite pattern and we identify two atomic patterns as components. 1. Introduction In modern manufacturing systems the management of the information involved in the manufacturing process has become a key factor to reduce production costs and improve product quality. Many companies and research institutions have invested large amounts of resources in this field and Manufacturing Resource Planning Systems MRP have become important Salv92 . The inventory is one of the most important parts of an MRP system and keeps track of information about quantities of units of interest and their locations. We develop here an inventory pattern Stock Manager which satisfies the expected requirements of reusability and extensibility. This model considers not only the static view of the system but also dynamic aspects. Because an inventory control system cannot be modeled completely unless several other aspects of the whole manufacturing system are taken into account the effects of some other functional parts of manufacturing systems are also included. This model can be used as starting point to develop a complete model for the manufacturing system or as an example of a Semantic .
