PART ONE

Bigelow, Bannister and Gomez Inc. is a major supplier of explosive devices to the military. Because of the nature of their business, many security and safety issues need to be addressed. One of the more important issues is restricting access of personnel to areas of the plant. It is required to restrict access by individual $($such as Alice Sloan and Jim Weston are allowed in the nitro room$)$ or by job category $($only engineers would be allowed into the design room$).$ Employee$$s access permissions change on a regular basis; the change must be implemented immediately. Government and military officials often visit the plant. Temporary privileges must be granted to these individuals. Another issue is that of employee$/$guest location. Safety regulations require that the location of each individual be known at all times. It is also required to keep historic data of who was in each area and when they were there.
