Question 3

Answer: Two kinds of arrows are used in swim-lane layout.Dotted arrows depict the flow of messages and data flows.Solid arrows depict the flow or sequence of the activities in the process.Some sequence flows have data associated with them as well.According to Figure 10-7, the customer sends an RFQ (request for quotation)to a salesperson (dotted arrow).That salesperson prepares a quotation in the first activity and then (solid arrow)submits the quotation back to the customer.You can follow the rest of the process in this diagram.Allocate inventory means that if the items are available, they are allocated to the customer so that they will not be sold to someone else.
