Design And Implementation Of An Automated Inventory Control System For A Manufacturing Organization
(A Case Study Of Nigerian Breweries Plc, Enugu)
This research work is concise and generally summarizes the activities duly
carried out in the design and implementation of an automated inventory
control system for a manufacturing organization. The system is designed to
efficiently handle the movement and tracking of goods through the
replacement of human workers by technology. The manual method or
intervention is labour intensive, costly, and error prone and cannot ensure
the inventory remains up-to-date due to oversight and internal shrinkage.
With the proposed new system, inventory can be updated in real time
without product movement, scanning, or human involvement. The
automated system allows inventory status to be determined and shipping and
receiving documents to be generated automatically triggering automatic
orders for products that are low in inventory. The study outlines the main
concepts of the analysis and design methodology of the proposed system,
compares it to the existing and goes further to explain the design and
implementation of the system using Visual Basic 6.0 for the database. The
fact finding techniques employed is interview, observation, online and
library research.
