Innovative Solutions for High School Inventory Management: An Information System Approach

Abstract

This paper explores the development and implementation of an innovative information system designed to enhance inventory management in high schools. Traditional inventory methods, often reliant on manual tracking, are prone to errors and inefficiencies, which can hinder resource allocation and decision-making. By adopting an information system approach, schools can automate processes, improve data accuracy, and provide real-time access to inventory information. The study outlines key features such as real-time tracking, automated alerts, and role-based access controls, which are critical to the system's effectiveness. The results demonstrate significant improvements in workflow efficiency, data accuracy, and overall resource management. Despite the challenges associated with system implementation, including cost and training requirements, the benefits make this approach a compelling solution for modernizing high school inventory practices. The paper concludes with recommendations for broader adoption and further research to optimize these systems for educational settings.
