Mgt613 VU Midterm Current Papers Fall 2011 of Virtual University of Paksitan (www.vusolutions.com)

Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)
Why some multinational corporations feel that globalization is not a good option?
The western worlds call these the disadvantages of Globalization, if an organization
decides to pack up its business and leave a host company.
Disadvantages to Globalization
The common disadvantages which lead to a MNC forgoing globalization includes.
 Handing over proprietary Technology to host countries.
 Political risks.
 Poor Employee (Managers and worker) skills.
 Slow customer response time.
 Effective communication between interfaces difficult
Managing Global Operations
When organizations become global they often end up paying a heavy price in terms of
managing complex managerial issues and challenges.
 Host country languages
 Host Country Norms and Customs.
 Workforce management
 Unfamiliar laws and regulations.
 Unexpected Cost mix.

Question No: 42 (Marks: 5)
Do you perceive that operation management and operation research are the same concepts?
NO both concepts are different from each other; we can elaborate both in the following manner:
Operation Management:
Operations management is an area of management concerned with overseeing, designing, and redesigning business operations in 

the production of goods and/or services. It involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient in 

terms of using as little resources as needed, and effective in terms of meeting customer requirements. It is concerned with 

managing the process that converts inputs (in the forms of materials, labor, and energy) into outputs (in the form of goods 

and/or services).
The relationship of operations management to senior management in commercial contexts can be compared to the relationship of 

line officers to the highest-level senior officers in military science. The highest-level officers shape the strategy and 

revise it over time, while the line officers make tactical decisions in support of carrying out the strategy.
Operation Research:
Operations research (also referred to as decision science or management science) is an interdisciplinary mathematical science 

that focuses on the effective use of technology by organizations. In contrast, many other science & engineering disciplines 

focus on technology giving secondary considerations to its use.
Employing techniques from other mathematical sciences — such as mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and mathematical 

optimization — operations research arrives at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems.
Because of its emphasis on human-technology interaction and because of its focus on practical applications, operations 

research has overlap with other disciplines, notably industrial engineering and management science, and draws on psychology 

and organization science. Operations Research is often concerned with determining the maximum (of profit, performance, or 

yield) or minimum (of loss, risk, or cost) of some real-world objective.
Question No: 29 (Marks: 3)
Write down at least three ways of improving reliability of a system.
We should develop the ability to understand the importance of reliability and at
the same time identify the ways in which Reliability can be improved in the following
generic ways.
1. Component design: Parts of a car
2. Production/assembly techniques: No reworks also fool proof assembly.
3. Testing: for trouble free final product
4. Redundancy/backups: not possible all the time but common remedy.
5. Preventive maintenance procedures
6. User education (operating manuals)
7. System design (we will discuss in later chapters, a senior management issue, but
indicative that reliability is always considered VIP)
8. Research & Development (R&D) : Organized efforts to increase scientific
knowledge or product innovation & may involve:

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)
What qualities does a successful job design contain?
A successful Job Design must have the following qualities
1. Carried out by experienced personnel who have the necessary training and
background.
2. Consistent with the goals of the organization.
3. in documented form.
4. Understood and agreed by both management and employees.
5. Shared with the new employees.
6. Factors that affect Job Design

.

Question No: 32 (Marks: 5)
"Standardization plays an important role in product design". How will you describe
this role?
Standardization is the extent to which there is an absence of variety in a product,
service or process. Standardized products are immediately available to customers. You
go to a market and request for a charger for your cellular phone, the shopkeeper would
ask for the model, make and deliver you as special product which is made by your cell
phone company or by an independent manufacturer, who provides a standardized
compatible model.
Question No: 29 (Marks: 3)
What are the reasons that support the use of process layout?
1. Product layouts are used to achieve a smooth and rapid flow of large volumes of goods
and customers through a system.
2. The work is divided into a series of standardized tasks, permitting specialization of
both labor and equipment.
3. The large volumes handled by these systems make it pertinent and necessary to
invest in equipment and job design.
4. Layouts should be arranged to make the best use of technological processing abilities
to fulfill the requirements of both product and services.
5. In manufacturing environments the lines are referred to as production lines or assembly
lines, depending on the type of activity involved.
6. In services side, the word line may or may not be used like Healthcare/Hospital
Services line, Carwash (absence of word line here) or Cafeteria Line.
7. Without standardization, many of the benefits of the repetitive processing are lost.
8. Product Layouts achieve a high degree of labor and equipment utilization, which tends
to offset their high equipment costs.
9. Operations are so closely tied up that a mechanical failure or high absenteeism (rains)
would increase vulnerability of the Systems.
10. We can prevent breakdowns if we religiously follow preventive maintenance
schedules, inspection and replacement of worn parts.

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)
Suppose you are the operations manager of a manufacturing firm, why would you
perceive concurrent engineering as a suitable approach with reference to product
design?
Concurrent Engineering:
Concurrent engineering is the bringing together of engineering design and
manufacturing personnel early in the design phase.
Why Suitable Approach to product Design:
 Manufacturing Personnel are able to identify production capabilities and
capacities .They have thus the opportunity to inform the design group about the
suitability of certain materials on the flipsides the designer would know the
suitability of certain designs in aiding in cost reduction and quality improvement
in production/assembly process.
 Early opportunities for design or procurement of critical tooling, some of which
might have long lead times. This can result in a major shortening of the product
development process, which should be a key competitive advantage.
 Early consideration of the Technical Feasibility of a particular design or a portion
of a design. Again this can avoid serious problems during production. The
emphasis can be on problem resolution instead of conflict resolution.

Question No: 31 (Marks: 5)
Which process system would you suggest for the following business/industry?
French restaurants (Job Shop Process)
Heavy equipment (Batch Flow Process)
Sugar refinery (Continuous Flow Process)
Automobile assembly (Product layout)
Commercial printer (Job Shop Process)

Question No: 32 (Marks: 5)
In some organizations capacity planning takes place very regularly and in some it
takes place seldom. What are the factors that influence the frequency of capacity
planning?
FACTORS INFLUENCE THE FREQUENCY OF CAPACITY PLANNING:
1. Capacity strategy for long-term demand which focus on demand patterns and takes into
account growth rate and variability
2. Facilities that focus on cost of building and operating
3. Technological changes relate to rate and direction of technology changes
4. Behavior of competitors
5. Availability of capital and other inputs
Question No: 29 (Marks: 3)
Write down the characteristics of well designed service system?
1. A well designed system should be well versed with organization vision & mission.
2. It should cost effective
3. User friendly & sustainable.
4. It should have ability to make effective link between front & backend operations.
5. Accommodation of variable changes in future.
6. Simple requirements & handling few customer at every customer centre.

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)
What qualities does a successful job design contain?
A successful job design contains following qualities.
1. Carried out by experience personal who have necessary training & background.
2. Consistent with goals of organization
3. Shared with new employees
4. In documented Form
5. Understood & agreed by both management & employees
6. Factors that affect job design.

Question No: 31 (Marks: 5)
Suppose you want to estimate the time required to perform a certain task by the two
employees. One employee's study yielded a mean of 6.4 minutes and standard
deviation of 2.1 minutes with 95% confidence Interval. Other employee's study
yielded a mean of 2.1 minutes and standard deviation of 6.4 minutes with confidence
interval of 95%. Now how many observations you will need if desired maximum
error is 10% of sample mean? (z= 1.96) Do both the employees have same number
of observations?
Employee # 1:
Mean time = X = 6.4mints
Standard Deviation = S = 2.1mint.
z = 1.96
Error = A = 10% = 0.1
n = (zs/ax) 2
= [(1.96) (2.1)/ (0.1) (6.4)] 2
= [4.116/0.64]2
= (6.43125)2
= 41.36
41 observations
Employee # 2:
Mean time = X = 2.1mints
Standard Deviation = S = 6.4mint.
z = 1.96
Error = A = 10% = 0.1
n = (zs/ax) 2
= [(1.96) (6.4)/ (0.1) (2.1)] 2
= [12.544/0.21]2
= (59.733)2
= 3568.03
3568 observations

Question No: 32 (Marks: 5)
In some organizations capacity planning takes place very regularly and in some it
takes place seldom. What are the factors that influence the frequency of capacity
planning?
FACTORS INFLUENCE THE FREQUENCY OF CAPACITY PLANNING:
1. Capacity strategy for long-term demand which focus on demand patterns and takes into
account growth rate and variability
2. Facilities that focus on cost of building and operating

2. Poorly skilled workers may not maintain equipment or quality of output of service.
3. Fairly inflexible to changes in volume.
4. Highly susceptible to shutdowns.
5. Needs preventive maintenance.
6. Individual incentive plans are impractical
Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)
Operations management does not work in isolation within an organization. How
would you relate marketing, finance and other functions to operations function?
Functions with in an Organization
 The Operations function consists of all activities that are directly related to
production of a good or service.
 Operations function exist in services like healthcare, Police, Traffic,
transportation, consultancy, food handling, restaurants etc.
 Operations function forms the core of all businesses.
Operations and Marketing
 Value addition refers to conversion of raw materials to finished goods or services.
 Value added often refers to the difference between the cost of the raw material
and the price of the finished good.
 The revenues from selling goods is used in betterment of existing product or
service or R &D, investment in new facilities and equipments
 Weeding out or eliminating non value adding operations. E.g. Storage of goods
which have been produced ahead of scheduled production, increases storage and
inventory costs. reducing storage cost would reduce transformation cost and thus
increase value addition
 Marketing relates to selling of a good or service of the organization through
advertising and pricing decisions.
 Marketing department assesses the customer's needs and communicate it to the
operations people on short term and design people on the long term basis.
 Operations people need information about demand over a short range in order
to purchase raw materials or manage inventory or schedule production
plan where as the design people need information to redesign or simply
sign new products or services.
 Marketing provides valuable information about the competitors customers needs
and communicate it to the operations people on short term and design people on
the long term basis.
Finance
 The finance function focuses on activities that relate to securing resources at
favorable prices and then allocating these resources through out the organization.
 Finance and Operation Personnel exchange information and expertise in the
following way
 Budgets
 Economic analysis of investment proposal
 Provision of funds

manufacturing facilities?
Mostly following are the below given multiple manufacturing facilities are used
With combination in plant strategies;
• Product plant strategy
• Market area plant strategy
• Process plant strategy

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)
What are the key steps involved in formulating a capacity planning strategy?
Following are the key steps involved in formulating a capacity planning strategy;
Steps for formulating a Capacity Planning Strategy
1. Estimate future capacity requirements
2. Evaluate existing capacity
3. Identify alternatives
4. Conduct financial analysis
5. Assess key qualitative issues
6. Select one alternative
7. Implement alternative chosen
8. Monitor results

Question No: 31 (Marks: 5)
Suppose you are the operations manager of ABC Corporation. To develop
competence in business operations, you have to decide either to rely on the facilities
available in-house or outsource.What are some of the factors you would base the
decision on?
Following are the factors which are available to us in order to decide whether to develop
a competence in house or outsource competent organization to supply that product,
service or particular expertise.
1. Available capacity if an organization has the equipment, necessary skills and
time, it often makes sense to produce an item or perform a service in house. The
additional costs would be relatively small compared with those required to buy
items or subcontract them.
2. Expertise. If a firm lacks the expertise to do a job satisfactorily, buying might be
a reasonable alternative.
3. Quality considerations. Firms that specialize can usually offer higher quality
than an organization can attain itself. Conversely, special quality requirements or
the ability to closely monitor quality may cause an organization to perform a job
itself.
4. Nature of demand. When demand for an item is high and steady, the
organization is often better off doing the work itself. However, wide fluctuations
in demand or small orders are usually better handled by specialists, who are able
to combine orders from multiple sources, which results in higher volume and tend
to offset individual buyer fluctuation.
5. Cost. Any cost savings achieved from buying or making must be weighed against
the preceding factors. Cost savings might come from the item itself or from
transportation cost savings.
6. Risk. Outsourcing or buying the services carries risk; often companies retain
flexibility by carrying out certain critical activities in house and repetitive menial
activities through outsourcing.

Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)
Given the table:
Alternatives Possible future demand
Low (Rs.) High (Rs.)
Small facility 10,000 8,000
Medium facility 12,000 20,000
Large facility 18,000 15,000
Calculate Maximax, Laplace and Minimax regret?
Maximax:
Choose the Best maximum Value for MAXIMAX approach which is 20,000
Laplace:
Small facility = 10000+8000=18000/2 =9000
Medium facility = 12000+20000 = 32000/2 = 16000
Large facility = 18000+15000 = 33000/2= 16500
So the Best Possible average is 16500 Laplace.
Minimax:
The minimum Amount is Rs. 8000

Question No: 42 (Marks: 5)
Suppose you are working as an operation manager in an automobile company. Your
company wants to move its manufacturing plant from one location to other location.
What factors will affect the location decision according to your point of view?
Factors Affecting Location Decisions
The process of determining a geographic site for firms operations takes into
account both manufacturing and marketing aspects. We just focus on the
manufacturing aspects as it's more closely related to Operations Management
Manufacturing
 Favorable Labor Climate
 Proximity to markets.
 Quality of Life
 Proximity of Suppliers and Resources.
 Proximity to the Parent Company's facilities.
 Utilities, Taxes and Real estate costs.
 Other factors ( expansion, construction costs, and location near the highway or
main railways)
Paper No. 12

Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)
How would you reveal the usefulness of naive forecasts?
 Naive forecasting (NF) techniques are quantitative forecasting tools that use only
the historical data of the variable being forecasted in the analysis. Therefore, all
other influences that may impact on the variable are excluded from the analysis
and the forecast.
 NF provides a convenient way to generate quick and easy forecasts for the short
time horizon.
 Forecast is not affected by environment.
 The forecast will miss turning points.
Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)
ABC Corporation has planned to purchase a new machine. Total annual fixed cost
is Rs. 15,000: variable cost is Rs. 5 per unit and revenue is Rs. 7 per unit.
•What would be the break even point?
•What would be the breakeven point if variable cost gets increased by 10%, revenue
decreased by 10% and fixed remains same?
Part A:
Q=Fixed Cost/ Revenue – Variable Cost
Q =15000/7.5
Q =7500 units
Part B:
Q = Fixed Cost/ Revenue – Variable Cost
Q =15000/7-0.7-(5+0.5)
Q =15000/6.3-5.5
Q =15000/0.8
Q =18750 units

Question No: 42 (Marks: 5)
What is demand management? Explain its various factors?

What are architectural designs Process, explain briefly?
System structuring: -
System structuring is concerned with decomposing the system into interacting sub-systems. The system is decomposed into 

several principal sub-systems and communications between these sub-systems are identified

Control modeling:- Control modeling establishes a model of the control relationships between the different parts of the 

system.

Modular decomposition:- During this activity, the identified sub-systems are decomposed into modules. This design process is 

further elaborated in the following section where architectural views are discussed.

What is action-oriented approach for Software Design?

Answer:
In the case of action-oriented approach, data is decomposed according to functionality requirements. That is, decomposition 

revolves around function. In the OO approach, decomposition of a problem revolves around data. Action-oriented paradigm 

focuses only on the functionality of a system and typically ignores the data until it is required. Object- oriented paradigm 

focuses both on the functionality and the data at the same time. The basic difference between these two is decentralized 

control mechanism versus centralized control mechanism respectively. Decentralization gives OO the ability to handle 

essential complexity better than action-oriented approach.

Define cohesion.

Answer:
Cohesion is an internal property of a module. Cohesion describes the intra-component linkages while couple shows the inter-

component linkages. Cohesion measures the independence of a module.

What is OOP

Answer:
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language model organized around "objects" rather than "actions" and data 

rather than logic. Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data, processes it, and 

produces output data.

What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?

Answer:-
As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this 

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly 

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as 

independent, it is an association.

*Cruise missile **scenario better fire which kind of design parameters are used for better work?***

In some software the *efficiency* is more important and desirable. For example if we talk about a cruise missile or a nuclear 

reactor controller that are droved by the software systems then performance and reliability is far more important than the 

cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness. In these cases if your software does not react within a certain amount of time
then it may result in the disaster like Chernobyl accident.

*After the analyzing you consider that the **cost and efficiency conflict **of a software then what you suggest to tackle 

this situation? Give three best ways?***

Law of diminishing returns shall be adopted.


*Write three **types of messages **in sequence diagrams: 21-lec***

Sequence diagrams can depict many different types of messages. These are: synchronous or simple, asynchronous, create, and 

destroy. The following diagram shows the notation and types of arrows used for these different message types.

Question No: 3 ( Marks: -- )
*HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THAT AN OBJECTIVE BELONGS TO CERTAIN CLASS?** *

Answer:- (Page 85)

The basic unit of object oriented design is an object. An object can be defined as a tangible entity that exhibits some well 

defined behavior. The structure and behavior of similar objects are defined in their common class. A class specifies an 

interface and defines an implementation.


*What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?** *

Answer:- (Page 87)

As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this 

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly 

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as 

independent, it is an association.



*Q2) What is meant by"**System's Static **View"?***

*Relationship Among Objects***

The object model presents a static view of the system and illustrates how different objects collaborate with one another 

through patterns of interaction. Inheritance, association and aggregation are the three inter-object relationships specified 

by the object model.

Inheritance defines a "kind of" hierarchy among classes. By inheritance, we specify generalization/specialization 

relationship among objects. In this relationship, a class (called the subclass) shares the structure and behavior defined in 

another class (called the superclass). A subclass augments or redefines the existing structure and behavior of its
superclass. By classifying objects into groups of related abstractions, we come to explicitly distinguish the common and 

distinct properties of different objects, which further help us to master their inherent complexity. Identifying the 

hierarchy within a complex system requires the discovery of patterns among many objects.

In an association relationship, when object A "uses" object B, then A may send messages to B. The relationship defines 

visibility among objects.

The aggregation relationship defines part-of structure among objects. When object A is part of the state of object B, A is 

said to be contained by B. There are some tradeoffs between aggregation and association relationships. Aggregation reduces 

the number of objects that must be visible at the level of enclosing objects and may lead to undesirable tighter coupling 

among objects.

*Differentiate between Association and Aggregation ?***

*Association and Aggregation - Some basic differences***

Objects do not exist in isolation. They rather collaborate with one another in many different ways to achieve an overall 

goal. The different types of relationships in which these objects are involved include association, aggregation, and 

inheritance. Briefly, inheritance denotes a "kind of" relationship, aggregation denotes a "part of" relationship, and 

association denotes some semantic connection among otherwise unrelated classes.

Any further elaboration on inheritance relationship is beyond the scope of this discussion and therefore we shall concentrate 

on agrregation and association relationships only.

As mentioned earlier, aggregation is the "part-whole" or "a-part-of" relationship in which objects representing the 

components of something are encapsulated within an object representing the entire assembly. In other words, the whole is 

meaningless without its parts and the part cannot exist without its container or assembly.



*What is behavior driven perceptive of an objective?** *

Answer:- (Page 85)

Behavior is how an object acts and reacts in terms of its state changes and message passing. The behavior of an object is 

completely defined by its actions. A message is some action that one object performs upon another in order to elicit a 

reaction. The operations that clients may perform upon an object are called methods.



*What is textual analysis?** *

*Object-Oriented Analysis using Abbot's Textual Analysis***

The first object-orientation technique that we will study is one of the oldest techniques to identify objects and their 

relationships. This technique is called *Textual Analysis*. It was initially developed by *Abbot * and then extended by 

*Graham and others.* In this technique different parts of speech are identified within the text of the specification and
these parts are modeled using different components.



*Q5) What is **Software Architecture** **?***

Answer:- (Page 116)

Architecture is the organizational structure of a system. Architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that interact 

through interfaces, relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact through 

interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.

What do we mean by software architecture?

Unfortunately, there is yet no single universally accepted definition. Nor is there a shortage of proposed definition 

candidates.

The term is interpreted and defined in many different ways. At the essence of all the discussion about software architecture, 

however, is a focus on reasoning about the structural issues of a system. And although architecture is sometimes used to mean 

a certain architectural style, such as client-server, and sometimes used to refer to a field of study, it is most often used 

to describe structural aspects of a particular system.

Before looking at the definitions for the software architecture, it is important to understand how a software system is 

defined. It is important because many definitions of software architecture make a reference to software systems.

*According to UML 1.3,* a system is a collection of connected units that are organized to accomplish a specific purpose. A 

system can be described by one or more models, possibly from different viewpoints. IEEE Std. 610.12-1990 defines a system as 

a collection of components organized to accomplish a specific function or set of functions.

That is, a system is defined as an organized set of connected components to accomplish the specified tasks.

Let us now look at some of the software architecture definitions from some of the most influential writers and groups in the 

field.

*UML 1.3:***

Architecture is the organizational structure of a system. An architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that 

interact through interfaces, relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact 

through interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.

*IEEE Glossary***
Architectural design: The process of defining a collection of hardware and software components and their interfaces to 

establish the framework for the development of a computer system


*Q6) What is the **Cardinality **of Objective**?***

Answer :- (Software engineering ---Page 334 )

*Cardinality.* The data model must be capable of representing the number of occurrences Objects in a given relationship. 

Tillmann [TIL93] defines the cardinality of an object/relationship pair in the following manner:

*One-to-one (l:l)*—One occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one and only one occurrence of [object] 'B,' and an 

occurrence of 'B' can relate to only one occurrence of 'A.'

*One-to-many (l:N)—*One occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one or many occurrences of [object]'B,' but an occurrence of 

'B' can relate to only one occurrence of 'A.' *For example, a mother can have many children, but a child can have only one 

mother.*

*Many-to-many (M:N)—*An occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one or more occurrences of 'B,' while an occurrence of 'B' 

can relate to one or more occurrences of 'A.' *For example, an uncle can have many nephews, while a nephew can have many 

uncles.*



*Abstraction and encapsulation***

Abstraction and encapsulation are complementary concepts.

*Abstraction* provides the outside view to the client and encapsulation prevents clients from seeing its inside view. For 

abstraction to work, implementation must be encapsulated.

*Encapsulation* hides the details of the implementation of an object. Intelligent encapsulation localizes design decisions 

that are likely to change. The ability to change the representation of an object without disturbing any of its clients is the 

essential benefit of encapsulation.



*Papers Number 03***

*Q1.Is the design of software architecture a iterative process? ( Marks 2)***

*Answer:* Just like any other design activity, design of software architecture is a creative and iterative process. This 

involves performing a number of activities, not necessarily in any particular order or sequence. These include system 

structuring, control modeling, and modular decomposition.



*What is textual analysis?** *

*Answer:*

*Object-Oriented Analysis using Abbot's Textual Analysis***

The first object-orientation technique that we will study is one of the oldest techniques to identify objects and their 

relationships. This technique is called *Textual Analysis*. It was initially developed by *Abbot * and then extended by 

*Graham and others.* In this technique different parts of speech are identified within the text of the specification and
these parts are modeled using different components. The following table shows this scheme.

*Q6. define aggregate and Narate the 2 examples of agreegate in real Life? ( Marks 5)***

*Answer:*
As mentioned earlier, aggregation is the "part-whole" or "a-part-of" relationship in which objects representing the 

components of something are encapsulated within an object representing the entire assembly. In other words, the whole is 

meaningless without its parts and the part cannot exist without its container or assembly.



*Papers Number 04***

*What are architectural designs Process, explain briefly?***

*Answer:*

*System structuring: -*
System structuring is concerned with decomposing the system into interacting sub-systems. The system is decomposed into 

several principal sub-systems and communications between these sub-systems are identified

*Control modeling:-* Control modeling establishes a model of the control relationships between the different parts of the 

system.

*Modular decomposition:-* During this activity, the identified sub-systems are decomposed into modules. This design process 

is further elaborated in the following section where architectural views are discussed.



*What is action-oriented approach for Software Design?***

* Answer:*
In the case of action-oriented approach, data is decomposed according to functionality requirements. That is, decomposition 

revolves around function. In the OO approach, decomposition of a problem revolves around data. Action-oriented paradigm 

focuses only on the functionality of a system and typically ignores the data until it is required. Object-oriented paradigm 

focuses both on the functionality and the data at the same time. The basic difference between these two is decentralized 

control mechanism versus centralized control mechanism respectively. Decentralization gives OO the ability to handle 

essential complexity better than action-oriented approach.

*Define cohesion.***

*Answer:*
Cohesion is an internal property of a module. Cohesion describes the intra-component linkages while couple shows the inter-

component linkages.Cohesion measures the independence of a module.

*What is OOP***

*Answer:*
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language model organized around "objects" rather than "actions" and data 

rather than logic. Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data, processes it, and 

produces output data.

*What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?***

*Answer:-*
As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this 

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly 

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as 

independent, it is an association.
