This document provides a project report for an inventory system for Chocolates & Sweet Things. It includes a requirement specification, feasibility analysis, system overview, design specification, and reflection. The team analyzed the existing manual system and identified issues like slow checkout and redundant inventory tracking. The proposed automated inventory system would use barcodes and scanning to track inventory levels in real-time, generate reorder reports, and streamline the checkout process. It would reduce costs, errors, and labor hours over the current manual system. The project schedule outlined an 8 step, 14 week development process.
2. Manual Inventory record-keeping: therefore more time consuming and often redundant. The store keeps a track of inventory by physically viewing the level of stock remaining for all items.
3. High cost of maintaining inventory records: since the records are maintained manually, the cost of maintaining inventory stocks is high because of man-hours consumed.
33. Training program on operating Microsoft Office, emphasis on MS Excel (if needed)
34. Training program on using Laser Scanner- refer to user manualPost-Installation Review<br />We will check up on the installed system once a week for the first month to see if there are any problems.<br />Reflection on System Development Process<br />This was very good hands on learning experience that will be beneficial to us and to are our future careers. We learned about the hardships endured as well when working on a project of this magnitude. A project like this requires a team that is willing to make sacrifices in order to get things done. We had some difficulties putting the system together because we were still learning about all the processes that went into it. We had to do a lot of self research so we could understand what kind of system we were producing. <br />If we could do it all over again we would assess the entire outlook of the system differently because we would have more knowledge about the SDLC which would help get the project quicker. <br />Appendix<br />Record of Team Meetings<br />VenueAgendaTime and datedurationUWEC- SchneiderDecision on project topicSeptember 22 20071 hrChocolate and Sweet ThingsOverlook of the existing systemSeptember 28, 200730 minsUWEC- McIntyre LibraryDecision on project proposalOctober 1, 20073 hrsUWEC- McIntyre LibraryCreating the project reportNovember 8, 20071 hrUWEC- McIntyre LibraryCreating the project reportNovember 14, 20073 hrsUWEC- McIntyre LibraryCreating the project reportDecember 7, 20072 hrsUWEC- McIntyre LibraryPrepare presentationDecember 8, 20071 hr<br />Communications between Team Members<br />ModeFrequencyTotal number of timesD2L- discussion boardTwice a week19EmailsEvery day20Phone Twice a week10MeetingsWeekly12Visit at the store5<br />Records of Interview with Chocolates & Sweet Things<br />We Interviewed the owner on the following dates: September 15, 2007, October 10, 2007.
