The dyeing facility processes the work order, delivers the goods to the franchises and sends a status report to the admin office which will contain the details of the inventory (gray cloth(GC) and the dyes) used to process the order as well as the current inventory levels and the admin office will send an invoice to the franchise If inventory levels are low the admin office places an order for GC and dyes with the suppliers. The suppliers deliver GC and dyes to dyeing facility and the invoice is sent to the admin office.

Business Background Contd.,

Business Need This project aims at creating a system which computerizes the data entry, inventory management, and billing process. Extracting old records such as bills and invoices for business analysis and company growth. It also aims at an efficient mechanism to generate customized reports like  Status Report  Invoice  Sales Analysis Report  Retailer Analysis Report

Business Requirements The system should have an effective user friendly interface for entering and manipulating the data into the database and categorizing the data based on the gray cloth and dyes. The system should be capable of generating reports and invoices to aid business analysis. This system should be scalable.

Business Value More intangible value than tangible value. Efficient record keeping, time saving, easy retrieval of information. Performing market analysis and business analysis will eventually lead to improved revenue

Special Issues The system is expected to be ready by the month of October keeping in view the flooding of orders in the months of October, November and December. The record keeping staff should be trained on the new system in a short period of time. Entering the past records into the database can be time consuming. This is not an immediate issue. However, this has to be done over a period of time.
