Leah Jones is the IT manager at Rock Solid Outfitters, a medium-sized supplier of outdoor climbing and camping gear. Steve Allen, the marketing director, has asked Leah to develop a special web-based promotion. As Steve described it to Leah, Rock Solid will provide free shipping for any customer who either completes an online survey form or signs up for the Rock Solid online newsletter. Additionally, if a customer completes the survey and signs up for the newsletter, Rock Solid will provide a $10 merchandise credit for orders of $100 or more. Leah has asked you to develop a decision table that will reflect the promotional rules that a programmer will use. She wants you to show all possibilities, and then to simplify the results to eliminate any combinations that would be unrealistic or redundant.

Step 1 : Construct the table under three conditions possible and with two possible results. A total of 8 possible rules should be provided for the three different conditions, and the table should look like the following example : attached is the discount table

Step 2 : Now the rules can be simplified, by considering the following :

a) If a consumer filled survey form AND signs up for newsletter, as in Rules 1and2, they are eligible to receive a discount when their order exceeds $100. Twoseparate rules are therefore included and the third condition (order quantity) is relevant.

b) If the customer finalizes the survey form OR signed up for the newsletter, as provided for in Laws 3, 4, 5 and 6, he or she will receive free shipments, but the purchase quantity does not matter. Therefore, such situations may be known as two separate rules where one requirement is fulfilled, but not the other.

c) If a client does not fulfill any of the requirements, as in Rules 7 and 8, the order amount shall not be applied to him or her for either free shipping or discount. It can be interpreted as one law. The simplification table is linked to this.
