    The document describes Automata Inc., a company that produces specialty vehicles. It has several departments that each build a different type of vehicle. When a department needs components for a new vehicle, it places an order with the purchasing department. The purchasing department wants to create a database to track orders and speed up delivering materials. The proposed entity relationship diagram identifies the entities like departments, orders, order lines, vendors, and inventory items. It shows the attributes and primary/foreign keys for each entity and how they relate to each other. Reports on orders, inventory levels, and vendor performance could be obtained from the database.

    EXAMPLE 1

    Automata Inc. produces specialty vehicles by contract. The company operates several
    departments, each of which builds a particular vehicle, such as a limousine, a truck, a van, or an
    RV. Before a new vehicle is built, the department places an order with the purchasing
    department to request specific components. Automata’s purchasing department is interested
    in creating a database to keep track of orders and to accelerate the process of delivering
    materials. The order received by the purchasing department may contain several different
    items. An inventory is maintained so that the most frequently requested items are delivered
    almost immediately. When an order comes in, it is checked to determine whether the
    requested item is in inventory. If an item is not in inventory, it must be ordered from a supplier.
    • Draw an entity relationship diagram that
    • Identifies the entities along with attributes, and the primary and foreign keys
