DESIGNING A WEB-BASED APPLICATION OF MATERIAL AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT FOR GARMENT WORKSHOP

Abstract

Inventory management must be implemented properly so that the flow of goods can be controlled easily. A large number of small sized tools and materials in the workshop of Garment Engineering major require a well-managed inventory. Moreover, the rapid circulation of their inflow and outflow also needs to be addressed well. The garment workshop managers currently only record the material flow manually in the logbook, so it is necessary to design an application that can help them achieving more effective and efficient records. This designed application contains information about the amount of workshop material inflow, outflow and their availability. There are other features which considers the number of materials needed based on the available stock. Barcode system is also utilized to ease the data input process. Usability test was then performed to the application using System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire, resulting in average of 63,75 from all of the respondents. That value shows that this application has a low level of usability. Where it is actually understandable since this is the first prototype for the next application developments. All of the application menu and features can be successfully running and the application also helps the garment workshop managers a lot, thus in accordance with the purpose of making this application
