WEEK 10

Basically, today's tutorial class of FSM4401 is focused on Transaction Processing System (TPS). It is sort of information system used by an enterprise at which data transaction is collected, stored, modified and retrieved. TPS consists of three parts, including inputs, processes and outputs. One of the examples under inputs which all of us are familiar to is data storage. It acts as base of an enterprise's system. TPS is mainly used to measure performance, provide reliability and ensure consistency in our works.

 During the lab session, the comments we got back from lecturer is quite good. I myself think that this is such a good opportunity for us to gain new knowledge as without this assignment, perhaps I will never get a chance to participate in websites designing. And through this coursework also, we learnt to communicate with others (restaurant owner etc), sort of small business meeting. However, changes and modification still have to be made to improve our work. Apart from that, new tasks have been assigned and we still have to do follow up. For instances, turn in SWOT analysis which we did earlier, publish the websites that we designed and so on.

From what we got in the class, the saddest news which Dr announced was what we compromised earlier to all the companies has to be blown due to the decision by Google company that the programme had came to a stop. Anyhow, we have to snap out from that and focus on our next assignment, which is apps development. 

 Within the few hours of lab session, Dr had introduced Google plus to us. It is said as a combination of both Facebook and Pinterest where everyone can check on information based on self interest. Then, social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Pinterest were emphasized in class too. All these serve as platform for people to share story they want to. Before the class dismissed, Dr also showed us the way on how to create Google form. With that, the time spent on collecting and analyzing data will definitely be greatly reduced.
Week 10 was a hectic week. Yet we still managed to squeeze our time and went for karaoke session. No regret as I believe that this will be one of the precious memories to be remembered.

Our FSM4401 class is on every Wednesday from 10-12pm (tutorial) and 2-5pm (lab). While there was some exception for this week class, as our class had been replaced by websites presentation, CIP-UPM , which means that we had whole day presentation the past Wednesday. The presentation was conducted in one of the meeting rooms at Food 5. It was a brand new experience for us since that was the first time we gave presentation in such meeting room (presentation is usually conducted in classroom ). Everything was fine. Each group was given one hour time to setup, present with Q&A session. During the presentation, we talked on SWOT analysis of WaffleWaffle! At Bkt Serdang and also had an brief explanation on the websites we designed for them. I was the one who start the presentation on that day. A bit regret to say that I was not so in condition while our group was presenting. Kind of blur. Anyhow, it is done and let's improve next time. I have a bunch of lovely teammates. F...

WEEK 14

This week will be the very last week for my semester 6. Today, for FSM4401, we learnt supply chain management (SCM). From that, I get to know that the elements in supply chain can be categorized into upstream and downstream. Orders, information, payments and returns are of upstream while products, services and information are grouped under downstream. Vertical integration is introduced by Dr in class. It has few definition but here, in terms of management and business, it is said as by combining all the suppliers, work can be done effectively. On the other word, it is said to be strategy applied to control all the suppliers, thereby targeted outcome can be achieved easier. Then, we were told that there are total 3 flows in supply chain, known as material flows, information flows and financial flows. These are of the key components as supply chain will not be able to work or function without any of the flow. Our class is continued with the importance of building up a well-s...

We were exposed to 'Blockchain' before our class started today. So, what is Blockchain? "Blockchain is the world's leading software platform for digital assets. Offering the largest production block chain platform in the world, new technology is used and incorporated to build a radically better financial system." While Bitcoin is one of the important components when comes to talk on Blockchain. Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system. It is called the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single administrator. However, all this while, this system is only being implemented in foreign countries. Recently, Malaysia is trying to bring in and work on Blockchain. It is said to be will bring convenience to all the industries, thereby contributing to country's economic growth. As Bitcoin which acts as money in virtual form will increase the effectiveness in terms of financial...
