Development a Warehouse Management Information System

Abstract:

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application that helps control and manage the day-to-day operations in a warehouse. WMS software guides inventory receiving and put-away, optimizes picking and shipping of orders. This research has the objective to design a warehouse management information system in Hypertext Preprocessor language (PHP). The development methodology used is Rapid Application Development (RAD) with an object-oriented approach while the tool used in design is Unified Modeling Language (UML). Problems in the distributor of plumbing products are the increasingly large amount of stored information resulting in storing information in Excel files that no longer meet the requirements of retrieving and synthesizing information, as well as the storage of goods in the warehouse is disorganized leading to the increasing order processing time, which is one of the reasons of the increase in order delay rate. The solution of this problem focuses on implementing a management information system which helps to store and retrieve goods information (quantity, location,...), thereby reducing order processing time and increasing labor efficiency for businesses.
