DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED WAREHOUSE INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to computerize the warehousing information system (A case study of Albertina Enugu) and to develop a computer package, whereby the techniques observed from the manual method can be improved upon. It is a known fact that the manual method of warehousing information system has been associated with lots of inaccuracy in warehousing information system. This has led to some set back that has cost some obstruction on some parts, when in service. The software, when developed will facilitate and enhance the more and methods of warehousing information system which enables accuracy and also saves time when services and rendered. There is no intention here, to treat modules separately, hence the entire project is menu driven, to cover most of the facilities present. Lastly, it is optimistic that at the end of going through the work, one should be able to; 1. Have a clear idea of the project. 2. Improve it to suit other organization with regard to other sources and problems. 3. Know what it achieves.
