Sylvanus O. Anigbogu, Oladipo Onaolapo Francisca, Karim Usman, System Analyst · 2011
This work involved developing an intelligent model for sales and inventory management aimed at bridging the substantial gap between the theory and the practice of inventory management. The system developed has the capability of providing automatic demand and lead time pattern identification for inventory management. The intelligent inventory model was formulated using the concept of fuzzy logic. The identified patterns and the formulated model were translated into a rule based package developed with Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The developed system can work perfectly with any small scale and medium enterprise, but NOBIS super market (a reputable super market within Makurdi metropolis, Benue State of Nigeria) was used to test run the working principle of the system. The multi-branching nature of the system and its client server relationship even made it deployable for manufacturing and airline industries around the globe.
