RE: {Spam?} Courier/Parcel Tracking

Hi Geeta,

Thanx for the reply.  I've put together the work flows required around
scanning the parcels into the depot and scanning them out as each driver
packs them into his vehicle.  The real issue, and I never explained myself
clearly before, is whether I should create an activity for each town on the
route the parcel will travel. So if the driver on route1 will pass through
town1, town2 and town3 then can I have an activity for each town, say
ArrivedInTown1 (or PassedTown1).  And if so, when a new town gets added to a
route or a new route is started, does Shark have the facilities to generate
these town activities.

Another question the come to mind, if the driver only checks in at town2,
does/can Shark assume that town1 has been passed?

Regards,
Mike

PS. Why does the word Spam appear on you subject line?

  Hi Mike,

  My guess is if you are looking for a tool to create/manage a workflow
process, then you can use Shark. The key is to first white board your
business process, then come up with all the data variables which you will
need, all the workflow participants (both human and applications) involved,
the units of work (activities) in the process, figure out which activities
are manual and whcih are automatic (and which are a mix) and then use JaWE
to to create the XPDL for the process using your business logic for decision
making re. branching etc.. After that all you have to do is load the XPDL,
instantiate it (using the Shark admin tool) and you are off to the races..:)

  Geeta

  Hi,

  I'll looking for a tool to develop a parcel tracking system for a long
  distance courier company and was wondering if I could use Shark.  They
have
  10 routes with multiple stops and transport about 300 parcels per day.
Has
  anyone tried this or is Shark the wrong tool.

  Regards
  Mike
