Case Study: Taylors Group Management (TGM)

Taylors Group Management (TGM) just extended its business wing to Ipoh, Perak. TGM
wishes to remodel the business database to store and manage information about their new
start-up. The start-up centre takes bookings from clients for adventure filled holidays and team
building events. The client may or may not opt for accommodation but keen with team building
activities and some just opt for accommodation and other relevant services.

Based on your business, your clients are usually classified from family members,
businesses, governmental institutions, and schools. Information stored about clients includes
their unique client number, the client’s name (School name, business name, etc.), and the
names and mobile contact details of the persons representing the client organisation. Some
schools, governmental institutions, and business clients have provided more contact details.
This to ensure contact are reached precisely on time when required as also to provide on-
going marketing information.

The centre has a number of accommodation options which includes: a four-star hotel
called Best-stay offering different types of rooms (single, Double, King suite, Luxury suite and
others); a hostel with large dormitories for children and smaller shared rooms for supervising
adults; and a small camping ground. The name and type of these options is stored, along with
the total number of people they can accommodate, address, and Their geographical locations
(latitude and longitude).

Each booking has a unique booking number, the date and time that booking was made,
the person details who made the booking, and the dates of the stay. When booking is made,
clients need to state how many people will be staying, and what type of accommodation is
required. Type of accommodation have to be stored preciously based on accommodation
types that the hotel, and hostel provide. Clients’ needs to specify whether they will use the
restaurant or self catering facilities. The booking will also include any additional facilities
required by the client.

The centre contains a number of additional facilities for hire. These include Board meeting
rooms, conference/forum halls, and computing labs with Internet access. Portable multi-media
projection and presentation equipment are also available for hire. You may consider payment
chargers for all the facilities being offered. Charges information is to be tabulated by the

Page 5 of 11
 startup team as the financial information will not be a predominant information till the system
rollout.

There are various outdoor pursuits’ facilities including: climbing-wall with safety equipment,
paintball-war games, canoes, swimming, basketball, football... etc. Details of these various
facilities, including any hire charges, need to be stored on the database. During any booking,
the client may use these facilities. The date when a facility is booked for use must be recorded.

In order to monitor and facilitate the outdoor activities an experienced staff is assigned to
team building activities. Staff may be trained to supervise more than one outdoor pursuit
facility. Each member of staff has a unique staff number, and their name and contract details
(full or part time) are also recorded.

TAKE NOTE:
The start-up team is also required to carry out findings (research) to improve the above
requirement given. As a new team you need be aware of the services that you plan to offer and
how you are planning to bring in this records into the database. The research phase is to bring
the model to incorporate other relevant information that would make the database a more useful
for AK (relevant to item 4 tabled below in business process change).

The above business requirement is derived from final version document of TGM System
Requirement Specification (SRS). The above model requires some changes to cater for business
process changes encountered from the year 2019. The detailed requirement have been
tabulated to provide proper understanding of what is intended from the start-up team. Client
information, booking information, activities, facilities…etc. have been detailed out clearly to
provide a clear direction on what is intended to be part of the final database model required from
the start-up team. Your task is to ensure that given information is properly analysed and
considered for the database modelling phase. The Team lead have communicated the following
information to you and expecting TGM to deliver the changes to accommodate to the current
system as soon as possible.

 Ignore the side effects of the global pandemic that started early 2019 during design and
development stages.

 Business Process Change: Document V1.1.2

1. The system should detail down the customer’s address and multiple contact number
for emergencies and direct marketing purpose.
2. The system need to record staff information, as a requirement for the knowing which
staff whom brought the sales. This information is for all the bookings that are made
personally with the staff.
3. Projections – the company would require the system to be able to sales being made.
You are required to ensure that all the necessary information is recorded in the table,
allowing the user to compute this totals without messy procedures.
4. Final requirement – open suggestion from your team to include 2 more requirements
that would be added advantage for the system. Include the requirement into Business
Process Change V1.1.2.

Tasks:

A. Design: (30 marks)

1. Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) - Map the entities with appropriate
relationships.

2. Physical Model → Provide the necessary information for the Model (Relational
Model - ensure data integrity).

B. Deployment: (20 marks)

3. Implementation: create database, tables and populate the data (each table should
have 20+ rows of valid records if it’s applicable). This may not be applicable for all
table. Client and booking should sufficiently have at least 30 records.

Page 7 of 11
C. SQL Report: (30 marks)
4. Provide a list of businesses that have the most service transaction (service
transaction means – they have booked many facilities / services using this
system) by state or Town.

5. Provide a list of clients by business clients, school and Youth group -

representative (name & contact numbers).

6. Write SQL query to list down total number of rooms that are of type dormitories.

7. Compute an increase of 5% on booking charges for all the facilities. Upon having
the increased price now compute the raw income that would be been achieved in
2019 using the new price.

8. Provide a report that indicates the total number of booking closed by staff in the
year 2020.

9. Identify from the system the staff that have closed the highest sales for the year
2020.

D. Analysing database structure and designing useful reports: (15 marks)

10. Prepare Five (5) different types of reports using SQL query language. This
reports should indicate the students in the group are able to analyse the data
stored in various tables and they can provide very meaningful information to the

Page 8 of 11
 user / client. The mark allocation for this section is based on the complexity and
ability of students to analyse the data recorded in various tables.
E. Unforeseen challenges: (5 marks)
11. Discuss shortly what could be the significant changes on designing and
developing the Database system if you had to consider the side effects of the
global pandemic that started early 2020?

Marks Tabulation process:

Student need to be aware that database design outcome effects the development process of
the database. If the design is not being properly considered, then the implementation and roll-out
carriers the effect of the database design. In the case of poor database design, a simple
reduction of marks with design, will be carried to development as well. Incorrect and inaccurate
design leads to incorrect and inaccurate development as well, even though the implementation is
completed.
