Work-Order-Generator

The Work Order Generator is a Java-based application designed to automate the creation of work orders based on employee and ticket data. This project demonstrates the application of object-oriented programming principles, including class creation, inheritance, interface implementation, and basic file handling.

Objectives

• Create class files from UML diagrams.
• Implement inheritance and interfaces.
• Manage data through file input/output operations.

How to Run

To run the Work Order Generator, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:
   • git clone
2. Compile the Java files (ensure all 9 required .java files are present):
   • javac*.java
3. Execute the main class (replace MainClassName with the actual main class name): *java MainClassName

Features

• Employee Data Loading: Loads employee data from a CSV file and logs the process.
• Ticket Data Loading: Imports ticket data and associates them with respective customer details.
• Work Order Creation: Generates work orders based on the available tickets and assigns them to the appropriate employees.
• Data Output: Outputs the newly created work orders to a CSV file and logs each step.

CSV File Structure

The application expects the following CSV files in the project's working directory you can find the files in the CSV File Folder:

• employee_data.csv
• tier1_ticket_data.csv
• tier2_ticket_data.csv

The output and logs are written to:

• workorder_data.csv
• log.txt

Benchmark Comparisons

We have introduced a new version of the Work Order Generator that utilizes multithreading to improve performance. Below are benchmark comparisons showing the performance improvements:

Feature	Single-threaded Time	Multi-threaded Time
Load Employee Data	15s	5s
Load Ticket Data	20s	17s
Create Work Orders	30s	10s
Write Work Order Data	10s	7s

Multithreading has reduced the processing time by approximatly 48%, enhancing the efficiency of the application especially in environments with large datasets. Work Order Generator V2

🚨 Important Notice:

Run times depend on the system. A faster processor may execute the application more quickly.

Example Output:
