Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) with ConceptDraw PRO

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method SSADM is the method which is used at projecting and analysis of information systems. SSADM is based on the data flow diagrams. At the description of data flows out of the system and into the system DFD, which denote boundaries of the system, are used.

Data Flow Diagram

Data flow diagram (DFD) is the part of the SSADM method (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology), intended for analysis and information systems projection. Data flow diagrams are intended for graphical representation of data flows in the information system and for analysis of data processing during the structural projection. Data flow diagram often used in connection with human process and can be displayed as workflow diagram. The critical Process Flow Diagram is another flowchart technique for designing data flow in connection with organizational processes. The critical Process flow diagram may use different range of symbols than a classic workflow diagram.

Software and Database Design with ConceptDraw PRO

ConceptDraw PRO is a perfect tool for designing and planning tasks such as:
UML diagramming; designing and prototyping Graphical User Interface (GUI); flowcharts, data flow diagrams; database and ERD diagramming (Chen ERD, Database Model diagram, Express-G, Martin ERD, ORM Diagrams and more); SSADM diagrams, Booch diagrams, Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams with special flowchart symbols.

Control and Information Architecture Diagrams (CIAD) with ConceptDraw PRO

One of the three main constituents of any enterprise is the Control and Information Architecture. The rest two are Production facilities and People and Organization.

Flow chart Example. Warehouse Flowchart

Warehouse Flowcharts are different diagrams describing wharehousing and inventory menagement processes. Typical purposes of warehouse flowcharts are evaluating warehouse performance and organizational performance, measuring efficiency of customer service. This type of workflow diagrams can be used for identifying any disconnection between business activities and business objectives.
Standard warehousing process flow diagram and standard workflow diagram used for process identification for further evaluating effectiveness and profitability of overall business process. Use the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Flowcharts solution from the Diagrams area of ConceptDraw Solution Park to design your own workflow diagrams, process flow diagram and flow charts. Need to use Process Flow Diagram for designing Warehouse packages flow.

IDEF3 Standard

Use Case Diagrams technology. IDEF3 Standard is intended for description and further analysis of technological processes of an enterprise. Using IDEF3 standard it is possible to examine and model scenarios of technological processes.

IDEF0 standard with ConceptDraw PRO

The activity of any organization is more or less branchy network of processes. The description of these processes is a hard technical task which requires definite methodology and standards.
According to the IDEF0 standard any process can be described in the form of a block (Activity Box) which has inputs and outputs. The process consists in transformation of inputs into outputs under the influence of the management and in the presence of necessary resources. Outputs of the given process later on can be either inputs for the next process or resources, or management means.

ERD Symbols and Meanings

Crow's foot notation is used in Barker's Notation, Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) and information engineering. Crow's foot diagrams represent entities as boxes, and relationships as lines between the boxes. Different shapes at the ends of these lines represent the cardinality of the relationship.
The Chen's ERD notation is still used and is considered to present a more detailed way of representing entities and relationships.
To create an ERD, software engineers mainly turn to dedicated drawing software, which contain the full notation resources for their specific database design - ERD symbols and meanings. CS Odessa has released an all-inclusive Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution for their powerful drawing program, ConceptDraw PRO.

Types of Flowcharts

A Flowchart is a graphically representation of the process, algorithm or the step-by-step solution of the problem. There are ten types of Flowcharts. Using the Flowcharts solution from the Diagrams area of ConceptDraw Solution Park you can easy and quickly design the Flowchart of any of these types.

UML Class Diagram Example - Medical Shop

State Diagram UML of Online Store. This sample was created in ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software using the UML Class Diagram library of the Rapid UML Solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
This sample shows the work of the medical shop and is used at the creation of the medical shop or pharmacy project, for understanding the process of shopping in the medical shop, for keeping purchases, for medical supplies.

Flowchart Software

Flowchart is widely used in business, education and economic presentations to help the audience visualize the content better, or to find flaws in a process flow diagrams. Flowcharts are particularly useful for displaying how a process currently flow or could ideally function. Flowcharts can help you see whether the steps of a process are logical, uncover problems or miscommunications, define the boundaries of a process, and develop a common base of knowledge about a process.

ConceptDraw PRO flowchart software will help to quickly create new flowcharts, workflow, NS Diagram, BPMN Diagram, Cross-functional flowcharts, data flow diagrams and highlight flowcharts.

Feature-rich flowchart maker, free thousand flowchart examples and templates and colored symbols that will allow you to create professional looking flowcharts simply.

ConceptDraw PRO supports macOS and Windows.
