Introduction
Inventory is basically
the total amount of goods and materials held in stock by a factory, store and
other business. An inventory system is a process whereby a business keeps track
of the goods and material it has available. Today’s competitive environment is
forcing companies to optimize the procurement processes and inventory levels
while at the same time ensure accuracy of controls and implementation of
standard procedures for the flow of materials. However, in the absence of
appropriate systems and information infrastructure, companies are finding it
difficult to achieve smooth and efficient.
Rationale
Some of existing system
is manual to keep transaction record of the inventory in the Department of
computer science. People still prefer to follow the manual method to keep the
record. We have found that employees first of all record all information in
there ledger. They are using to keep the record of stock purchase, inventory,
etc. Following this method is very time consuming and tedious. It has many
drawbacks as there may be mistakes while recording large data and this may
disrupt the important transaction.
So, in this project we
are trying to make inventory management system which will help employees to
keep record of inventories in systematic way and help them produce report about
the inventory or stock currently available in their department in automatic way
to help then decision making about the stock etc.
Objectives
Objective of the project is to develop inventory management system for department of computer science.
- Ensure efficient and timely
identification of vital corporate assets.
- To provide Inventory System access to
all necessary personnel.
- To provide a full range of reports
that will satisfy informational requirements.
- To reduce labor of inventory management, centralize
control and automation.
- Develop an automated system that will be able to
record, store, retrieve and generate reports of inventory useful to
management in decision-making.
Methodology
1.
Collect data
1.1.
Meet the staff (Mr. Sukirthan and Mr.
Rajendram) and get the details they are using for their manual work of inventory management.
2.
Discuss with the group
2.1.
Discuss about the project works as ordering the
collected information, creating database tables, ER diagrams, etc.
3.
Talk with the proper person
3.1.
Talk with the staff (customer) to know about
their requirements.
3.2.
Questioning them for more details.
3.3.
Know their satisfaction and problems.
4.
Fulfill the system for the inventory management
and summarize the work &the result in the project report.
Implementation
plan
This system will be designed
in Visual Studio C#.NET 2010 for creating interface as front end for this
system.
. SQL
will be used to create the database schema as the back end for this System, which includes all the tables,
and primary keys. Security in our system will be provided by a username
/password user authentication system.
