Abstract
The research work “StoreManagement System” includes ales, stock keeping, warehouse
management, staff update, vendors update and management, clients management and
point of sales (POS).
This work was done as a result to solve the problems usually encountered in
most companies. The Store Management System was achieved using two programming
environment: PHP and MYSQL, with php as front-end and mysql as the backend
database. The system can be entered using a username and password. It is
accessible either by an administrator or staffs. The interface is very
user-friendly. protected for personal use and the data processing is very fast.
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Store management system like central supermarket store, Jane
Store, Shoprite Store enterprise and Springlight supermarket etc., these
establishments require efficient and brilliant technique and flexible system
for proper management of all their goods, clients, staff, stocks, warehouse and
services. Their main objective is to offer quality services in sales, stock
keeping,warehouse management, staff update, vendors update and management,
clients management and point of sales(POS).
1.2.0 INTRODUCTION
Chapter one introduces the research work and the
problem definition of the research, and to know the aim of this research work,
research justification tells us why it is important to research on this topic;
it also covers areas like scope and limitation of study which entails the
boundary of this work. Definition of terms gives summarize what each chapter
entails.
1.3.0 PROBLEM DEFINITION
This research work was undertaken to
uncover some of the problems with conventional way of managing store and
warehouse. Where products and are written on paper
these document are only access by one person at a time and is prone to human
errors. Using these conventional method pose lots of constraint on
salesmanager, warehouse manager, store manager as well as the overall manager
of the establishment as each section has to compare records from time to time thereby
slowing the growth of the establishment.
1.4.0 OBLECTIVE OF STUDY
In view of the problems
mentioned above, this project is aimed at implementing a Store and warehouse
management system which will exclusively:
·
Automate every sales of all product in
stock
·
Manage different products and category
in store
·
Manage different store own by the
estsblishment
·
Mange warehouse and vendors
·
Manage every client details
·
Product daily and monthly report
·
Manage every users of the system
1.5.0 RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION
This research work will provide a
reliable way of handling all stores and warehouse own by an establishment also
incorporate is the point-of-sales system which will aid in sales management and
also eliminate the lag time in file. Furthermore, it will aids structural
document representation and eliminates the tedium of performing monotonous
transaction. This research will also contribute to existing literature in this
area and will serve as a guild or blueprint for an undergraduate student.
1.6.0 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This
research work “design and implementation of a store and “warehouse management
system” will be a web-based application and will be implemented on a relational
database system(MySQL). Html(hypertext markup language), css(cascading style
sheet) and Jquery will be used to design the web-user interface, php (hypertext
preprocessor) will be used as the serve- side script language to link the
interface and the database.
1.7.0 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF
STUDY
This
research work is to develop a system capable of stores and warehouse task such
as sales, stock keeping, warehouse
management, staff update, vendors update and management, clients management and
point of sales (POS).
The
system will not incorporate in its development all the functions of a store
and warehousemanagement system but will focus
only on the aforementioned functionalities. The system will not be responsible
for any loss of data if its environment (network/system installed on) is
corrupt.
1.8.0 CHAPTER LAYOUT
This section was
put in place to explain what each chapter does, chapter one introduces
the project to the reader by explaining the problems the project is supposed to
solve, objective of the study and research justification is to describe to the
reader the purpose and the importance
of researching on this topic, research
methodology is all about the method used in implementing the research work,
scope and limitation describes the
boundary of the research work and where the project work can be put into use.
Chapter
two deals with the literature review and state-of-the-art.This chapter
discusses literature review, what people have published related to this
research work and their shortcoming, how this present research can improve
their shortcomings.
Chapter three deals with the
system design methodology i.e. collection of tools methods and practices for
achieving a task; the requirement specification states the expectation of the
system analysis, and design which is the blueprint of what the system would
carry out.
Chapter four has to do with
the implementation, system testing strategies, target computer system
requirement, software maintenance etc.
Chapter five discusses the
recommendations and conclusion part of the research work and how this work can
be applied to the problem domain.
