PHP and MySQL Project on Supply Chain Management System

Title of the Project

Supply Chain Management System Introduction of the Project: The ”SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” is the web-based system, designed for a production sector, which gives information related to the clients and dealers of the company with respect to its product launches. This product develops a system that can be used by the company management to keep track of the sales, dealers and its clients. In the existing method of tracking of all the details is tedious and time consuming. Any product survey and launching of the area carried out manually by representatives, which is a time taking task. It fulfills different requirements of clients of the company. The specific purpose of the system is to automate the communication between clients, Admin and the dealers of the organization. Pictorial View of the Project:

Objective of the Project: The main objective of the project is to find out the supply chain management system. Supply chain is a lengthy process. Basically their supply chain is totally warehouse-based. In supply chain, at first they store the entire product from different manufacturer in their warehouse. The transportation cost is totally born by the manufacturing company. Then the stored products are distributed through the own vehicles to its several outlets. There is no intermediary between warehouse and manufacturing company. No product directly comes to the outlet without the hands of warehouse. Other objectives of this report are:  To know the supply chain of supermarket.  To understand the difference between the traditional markets supply chain and supermarkets supply chain.  To explore the relation of shopping to the supermarket of residential area & non-residential area based on gender, income & age.  To gather practical knowledge of supply chain management.  To explore the variation between male and female customer in residential &    

non- residential area. Improve operational & Streamlining operations Maintain all the project, employee, project database Maintain global standards of the project development Reduce Manpower and manual paper works for maintaining the records

offline  Main the accuracy, integrity and consistency of the data  Providing such a mechanism to make the man power fast to maintain all the information about the project

Abstract of the project: “SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers. It spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from pointof-origin to point-of-consumption. It is mainly designed for the production sector, which gives information related to client and dealers of the company with respect to product launches. This application is designed to run on any computer. There is need to install java software on client side machine. Based on the designation of the user who registers into the application he has the permission to submit his registration form and then specify the requirements. This Document plays a vital role in companies are the targets of the Supply chain management Tool.

Thus it is

expected that the company will deal directly with each clients of the company regarding product information. . It fulfills different requirements of client’s. The specific purpose of the system is to automate the communication between the management (Admin), clients and the dealers of the organization.

Purpose of the Project: The specific purpose of the system is to automate the communication between the management, clients and the dealers of the organization. This project maintains the information related to the client and dealers of the company with respect to its product launch. This will also keep track of sales and dealers. The scope of this project is to enable the user of an organization to view the issues through the LAN/Internet. Based on the category of the user i.e. employee or administrator, the various parts of the system are made available to the users.

Input and Output of the Project: “Supply chain management” is basically, the movement of raw materials into finished goods. In this project the Client provides its requirements about the product.

The

admin,

then

contacts

its

various

dealers

for

gathering

the

requirements. The dealers display the list of items from which the admin selects the items as specified by the client. After gathering the required items, admin gives the gathered items to the inventory department where the processing is done. The final product is manufactured and then finally delivered to the client which is the output of the project. In the mean while the manufacturing cost is tabulated by the accounting department and given to the client. Finally the client gives its feedback which is transferred to the Admin and the dealers.

Existing Project Structure: Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers Supply Chain Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption. Organizations increasingly find that they must rely on effective supply chains, or networks, to successfully compete in the global market and globalization,

outsourcing

networked economy. During the past decades,

and

information

technology

have

enabled

many

organizations to successfully operate solid collaborative supply networks in which each specialized business partner focuses on only a few key strategic activities. Any product survey and launching of the area carried out manually by representatives, which is a time taking task. And even gathering all the requirements from different dealers was also very tedious. Proposed System Structure: The product designed is the web-based system, mainly for production sector, which gives information related to the clients and dealers of the company with respect to its product launches. This product develops a system that can be used by the company management to keep track of the sales, dealers and its clients. It spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption.

This application is

designed to run on any computer. There is need to install java software on client side machine. Based on the designation of the user who registers into the application he has the permission to submit his registration form and then specify the requirements. This Document plays a vital role in companies are the targets of the Supply chain management Tool. Thus it is expected that the company will deal directly with each clients of the company regarding product information. . It fulfills different requirements of client’s. The specific purpose of the system is to automate the communication between the management (Admin), clients and the dealers of the organization.

Modules and their description Orders Module: When a customer goes through checkout, the information on their order is automatically transferred to the Orders section for you to keep track of. In the administration, you can view all of the orders made on their site, manually add orders, or edit the details of existing orders. The Orders section is located under Sales > Orders. On this page, every order ever made from the store is listed in detail. Customer Module: Shop owners should know who their customers are and how to manage their information. In the administration, customer information will need to be stored efficiently to remember any transactions made with their account. To access customer information, you can log into the administration panel of the store. The Customer management sections are located under Sales > Customers. There are three sections used to manage customer information: Customers, Customer Groups, and IP Blacklist. Affiliate Module: Ecommerce gives you the opportunity to set up an affiliate program to promote additional traffic to your shop. Affiliates will receive a commission for each time they direct traffic or sales to your site. The commission % can be adjusted in the administration under Sales > Affiliate. Coupons Module: You may create and designate coupons to specific products or product categories under Sales > Coupons. The Coupons page will display a list of all the coupons created in the administration. Gift vouchers: Gift vouchers can be individually sent to customers through their email by other customers in the store front. The customer receiving the gift certificate can use the code provided in the email at the shopping cart to deduct the gift voucher amount from the order total. To manage the Gift Vouchers of the store, go to Sales > Gift Vouchers > Gift Vouchers.

Mail Module: The Mail system send emails to specific customer groups. You can use this feature to send newsletters, information on specials, or to communicate any type of store information to select groups of customers. Customer groups are especially useful in emailing specific groups of people instead of every customer stored in the

administration. For more information on how to create a customer

group, see Customer Groups. The Mail page can be accessed from Sales > Mail. Profiles Module: Profiles are a new, optional feature. They allow you to set up recurring payments for your customers.

Profiles are useful if you plan to sell

products by subscription, if you are promoting a discount or member's club, or if you are simply breaking up payments into smaller portions. This feature gives the store owner more control over how customers are charged for products or services. Manufacturers Module: The Manufacturer section is used to categorize products by manufacturer. This section can be accessed under Catalog > Manufacturers. The Manufacturer names below came with the install. They can be deleted, and new manufacturer information can be added in its place. The manufacturer information should be created before products are added, so the manufacturer category can be selected when adding the product. Saving a product without including the manufacturer isn't advised, because customers can search for products in the store front through their manufacturer page. With the manufacturer missing from the product information, the product will not be available on those pages. Categories Module: In the default theme of the store front, parent categories are listed in the top menu of the home page, and on the left side of product pages. This navigational feature is used to guide customers to similar products within the same category.

Exposing customers to different products within a category lets the

customer compare the similarities and differences between products to make the most informed purchase. When adding products to the store, you will be asked for a product category to sort them in. It is a good idea to establish these categories before adding products, to save yourself the trouble of adding the category name to the products later.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM ANALYSIS System analysis is a process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing problems and the information to recommend improvements on the system. It is a problem solving activity that requires intensive communication between the system users and system developers. System analysis or study is an important phase of any system development process. The system is studied to the minutest detail and analyzed. The system analyst plays the role of the interrogator and dwells deep into the working of the present system. The system is viewed as a whole and the input to the system are identified. The outputs from the organizations are traced to the various processes. System analysis is concerned with becoming aware of the problem,

identifying

the

relevant

and

decisional

variables,

analyzing

and

synthesizing the various factors and determining an optimal or at least a satisfactory solution or program of action. A detailed study of the process must be made by various techniques like interviews, questionnaires etc. The data collected by these sources must be scrutinized to arrive to a conclusion. The conclusion is an understanding of how the system functions. This system is called the existing system. Now the existing system is subjected to close study and problem areas are identified. The designer now functions as a problem solver and tries to sort out the difficulties that the enterprise faces. The solutions are given as proposals. The proposal is then weighed with the existing system analytically and the best one is selected. The proposal is presented to the user for an endorsement by the user. The proposal is reviewed on user request and suitable changes are made. This is loop that ends as soon as the user is satisfied with proposal. Preliminary study is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, using the information for further studies on the system. Preliminary study is problem solving activity that requires intensive communication between the system users and system developers. It does various feasibility studies. In these studies a rough figure of the system activities can be obtained, from which the decision about the strategies to be followed for effective system study and analysis can be taken.

Existing System In the existing system the exams are done only manually but in proposed system we have to computerize the exams using this application.

     

Lack of security of data. More man power. Time consuming. Consumes large volume of pare work. Needs manual calculations. No direct role for the higher officials

Proposed System The aim of proposed system is to develop a system of improved facilities. The proposed system can overcome all the limitations of the existing system. The system provides proper security and reduces the manual work.

        

Security of data. Ensure data accuracy’s. Proper control of the higher officials. Minimize manual data entry. Minimum time needed for the various processing. Greater efficiency. Better service. User friendliness and interactive. Minimum time required.

FEASIBILITY STUDY Feasibility study is made to see if the project on completion will serve the purpose of the organization for the amount of work, effort and the time that spend on it. Feasibility study lets the developer foresee the future of the project and the usefulness. A feasibility study of a system proposal is according to its workability, which is the impact on the organization, ability to meet their user needs and effective use of resources. Thus when a new application is proposed it normally goes through a feasibility study .The document provide the feasibility of the project that is being designed and lists various areas that were considered very carefully during the feasibility study of this project such as Technical, Economic and Operational feasibilities. The following are its features: TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY The system must be evaluated from the technical point of view first. The assessment of this feasibility must be based on an outline design of the system requirement in the terms of input, output, programs and procedures. Having identified an outline system, the investigation must go on to suggest the type of equipment, required method developing the system, of running the system once it has been designed. Technical issues raised during the investigation are:

  The

Does the existing technology sufficient for the suggested one? Can the system expand if developed? project

should

be

developed

such

that

the

necessary

functions

and

performance are achieved within the constraints. The project is developed within latest technology. Through the technology may become obsolete after some period of time, due to the fact that never version of same software supports older versions, the system may still be used. So there are minimal constraints involved with this project. The system has been developed using Java the project is technically feasible for development.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY The developing system must be justified by cost and benefit. Criteria to ensure that effort is concentrated on project, which will give best, return at the earliest. One of the factors, which affect the development of a new system, is the cost it would require. The following are some of the important financial questions asked during preliminary investigation:

  

The costs conduct a full system investigation. The cost of the hardware and software. The benefits in the form of reduced costs or fewer costly errors.

Since the system is developed as part of project work, there is no manual cost to spend for the proposed system. Also all the resources are already available, it give an indication of the system is economically possible for development.

2.1 PRODUCT PERSPECTIVE Web traffic can be analyzed by viewing the traffic statistics found in the web server log file, an automatically-generated list of all the pages served. A hit is generated when any file is served. The page itself is considered a file, but images are also files, thus a page with 5 images could generate 6 hits (the 5 images and the page itself). A page view is generated when a visitor requests any page within the web site – a visitor will always generate at least one page view (the main page) but could generate many more.. Web Traffic Analyzer is aimed towards the vendors who want to reach out to the maximum cross-section of customer and common people who can be potential customer. This project envisages bridging the gap between the seller, the retailer and the customer. Web Traffic Analyzer should be user-friendly, ‘quick to learn’ and reliable software for the above purpose. OSM is intended to be a stand-alone product and should not depend on the availability of other software. It should run on both UNIX and Windows based platform.

2.2 PRODUCT FUNCTIONS Web traffic is the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a web site. It is a large portion of Internet traffic. This is determined by the number of visitors and the number of pages they visit. Sites monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic to see which parts or pages of their site are popular and if there are any apparent trends, such as one specific page being viewed mostly by people in a particular country. There are many ways to monitor this traffic and the gathered data is used to help structure sites, highlight security problems or indicate a potential lack of bandwidth — not all web traffic is welcome. Some companies offer advertising schemes that, in return for increased web traffic (visitors), pay for screen space on the site.

Sites also often aim to increase their web traffic through inclusion on

search engines and through Search engine optimization.

2.3 USER CHARACTERISTICS

We have 2 levels of users 

User module: This is a normal level of user who will be very few number of



functionality for website Administration module: This user is an admin type who has full rights on the system.

2.4 GENERAL CONSTRAINTS The amount of traffic seen by a web site is a measure of its popularity. By analysing the statistics of visitors it is possible to see shortcomings of the site and look to improve those areas. It is also possible to increase (or, in some cases decrease) the popularity of a site and the number of people that visit it. 2.5 ASSUMPTIONS AND DEPENDENCIES All the data entered will be correct and up to date.

Security Testing of the Project Testing is vital for the success of any software. no system design is ever perfect. Testing is also carried in two phases. first phase is during the software engineering that is during the module creation. second phase is after the completion of software. this is system testing which verifies that the whole set of programs hanged together. White Box Testing: In this technique, the close examination of the logical parts through the software are tested by cases that exercise species sets of conditions or loops. all logical parts of the software checked once. errors that can be corrected using this technique are typographical errors, logical expressions which should be executed once may be getting executed more than once and error resulting by using wrong controls and loops. When the box testing tests all the independent part within a module a logical decisions on their true and the false side are exercised , all loops and bounds within their operational bounds were exercised and internal data structure to ensure their validity were exercised once. Black Box Testing: This method enables the software engineer to device sets of input techniques that fully exercise all functional requirements for a program. black box testing tests the input, the output and the external data. it checks whether the input data is correct and whether we are getting the desired output. Alpha Testing: Acceptance testing is also sometimes called alpha testing. Be spoke systems are developed for a single customer. The alpha testing proceeds until the system developer and the customer agree that the provided system is an acceptable implementation of the system requirements.

Beta Testing: On the other hand, when a system isto be marked as a software product, another process called beta testing is often conducted. During beta testing, a system is delivered among a number of potential users who agree to use it. The customers then report problems to the developers. This provides the product for real use and detects errors which may not have been anticipated by the system developers. Unit Testing: Each module is considered independently. it focuses on each unit of software as implemented in the source code. it is white box testing. Integration Testing: Integration testing aims at constructing the program structure while at the same constructing tests to uncover errors associated with interfacing the modules. modules are integrated by using the top down approach. Validation Testing: Validation testing was performed to ensure that all the functional and performance requirements are met. System Testing: It is executing programs to check logical changes made in it with intention of finding errors. a system is tested for online response, volume of transaction, recovery from failure etc. System testing is done to ensure that the system satisfies all the user requirements.

Implementation and Software Specification Testings Detailed Design of Implementation This phase of the systems development life cycle refines hardware and software specifications, establishes programming plans, trains users and implements extensive testing procedures, to evaluate design and operating specifications and/or provide the basis for further modification. Technical Design This activity builds upon specifications produced during new system design, adding detailed technical specifications and documentation. Test Specifications and Planning This activity prepares detailed test specifications for individual modules and programs, job streams, subsystems, and for the system as a whole. Programming and Testing This activity encompasses actual development, writing, and testing of program units or modules. User Training This activity encompasses writing user procedure manuals, preparation of user training materials, conducting training programs, and testing procedures. Acceptance Test A final procedural review to demonstrate a system and secure user approval before a system becomes operational.

Installation Phase In this phase the new Computerized system is installed, the conversion to new procedures is fully implemented, and the potential of the new system is explored. System Installation The process of starting the actual use of a system and training user personnel in its operation. Review Phase This phase evaluates the successes and failures during a systems development project, and to measure the results of a new Computerized Transystem in terms of benefits and savings projected at the start of the project. Development Recap A review of a project immediately after completion to find successes and potential problems in future work. Post-Implementation Review A review, conducted after a new system has been in operation for some time, to evaluate actual system performance against original expectations and projections for cost-benefit improvements. Also identifies maintenance projects to enhance or improve the system. THE STEPS IN THE SOFTWARE TESTING The steps involved during Unit testing are as follows: a.

Preparation of the test cases.

b.

Preparation of the possible test data with all the validation checks.

c.

Complete code review of the module.

d.

Actual testing done manually.

e.

Modifications done for the errors found during testing.

f.

Prepared the test result scripts.

The unit testing done included the testing of the following items: 1.

Functionality of the entire module/forms.

2.

Validations for user input.

3.

Checking of the Coding standards to be maintained during coding.

4.

Testing the module with all the possible test data.

5.

Testing of the functionality involving all type of calculations etc.

6.

Commenting standard in the source files.

After completing the Unit testing of all the modules, the whole system is integrated with all its dependencies in that module. While System Integration, We integrated the modules one by one and tested the system at each step. This helped in reduction of errors at the time of the system testing. The steps involved during System testing are as follows: 

Integration of all the modules/forms in the system.



Preparation of the test cases.



Preparation of the possible test data with all the validation checks.



Actual testing done manually.



Recording of all the reproduced errors.



Modifications done for the errors found during testing.



Prepared the test result scripts after rectification of the errors.

The System Testing done included the testing of the following items: 1.

Functionality of the entire system as a whole.

2.

User Interface of the system.

3.

Testing the dependent modules together with all the possible test data scripts.

4.

Verification and Validation testing.

5.

Testing the reports with all its functionality.

After the completion of system testing, the next following phase was the Acceptance Testing. Clients at their end did this and accepted the system with appreciation. Thus, we reached the final phase of the project delivery. There are other six tests, which fall under special category. They are described below: 

Peak Load Test: It determines whether the system will handle the volume of activities that occur when the system is at the peak of its processing demand. For example, test the system by activating all terminals at the same time.



Storage

Testing: It

determines

the

capacity

of

the

system

to

store

transaction data on a disk or in other files. 

Performance Time Testing: it determines the length of time system used by the system to process transaction data. This test is conducted prior to

implementation to determine how long it takes to get a response to an inquiry, make a backup copy of a file, or send a transmission and get a response. 

Recovery Testing: This testing determines the ability of user to recover data or re-start system after failure. For example, load backup copy of data and resume processing without data or integrity loss.



Procedure Testing: It determines the clarity of documentation on operation and uses of system by having users do exactly what manuals request. For example, powering down system at the end of week or responding to paper-out light on printer.



Human Factors Testing: It determines how users will use the system when processing data or preparing reports.

Project Category Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) : This is an RDBMS based project which is currently using MySQL for all the transaction statements. MySQL is an opensource RDBMS System. Brief Introduction about RDBSM : A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as invented by E. F. Codd, of IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory. Many popular databases currently in use are based on the relational database model. RDBMSs have become a predominant choice for the storage of information in new databases used for financial records, manufacturing and logistical information, personnel data, and much more since the 1980s. Relational databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and network databases because they are easier to understand and use. However, relational databases have been challenged by object databases, which were introduced in an attempt to address the objectrelational impedance mismatch in relational database, and XML databases.

Implementation

Methodology: Model

Controller is

or

MVC as it

popularly

called, is a software

pattern

for

applications. Controller made

up

developing A

Model

web View

pattern is of

following 

design

the three parts:

Model

- The lowest level

of

pattern which is

the



responsible for maintaining data. View - This is responsible for displaying all or a portion of the data to the



user. Controller - Software Code that controls the interactions between the Model and View.

MVC is popular as it isolates the application logic from the user interface layer and supports separation of concerns. Here the Controller receives all requests for the application and then works with the Model to prepare any data needed by the View. The View then uses the data prepared by the Controller to generate a final presentable response. The MVC abstraction can be graphically represented as follows. MVC (Model View Controller Flow) Diagram PROJECT SCHEDULING An elementary Gantt chart or Timeline chart for the development plan is given below. The plan explains the tasks versus the time (in weeks) they will take to complete.

Identification of Need The old manual system was suffering from a series of drawbacks. Since whole of the system was to be maintained with hands the process of keeping, maintaining and retrieving the information was very tedious and lengthy. The records were never used to be in a systematic order. there used to be lots of difficulties in associating any particular transaction with a particular context. If any information was to be found it was required to go through the different registers, documents there would never exist anything like report generation. There would always be unnecessary consumption of time while entering records and retrieving records. One more problem was that it was very difficult to find errors while entering the records. Once the records were entered it was very difficult to update these records. In present, work done in the electricity board is performed manually which is a great headache for the department .The reason behind it is that there is lot of information to be maintained and have to be kept in mind while running the business .For this reason we have provided features Present system is partially automated (computerized), actually existing system is quite laborious as one has to enter same information at three different places. Following points should be well considered: 

Documents and reports that must be provided by the new system: there can also be few reports, which can help management in decision-making and cost controlling, but since these reports do not get required attention, such kind of reports and information were also identified and given required attention.



Details of the information needed for each document and report.



The required frequency and distribution for each document.



Probable sources of information for each document and report.



With the implementation of computerized system, the task of keeping records in an organized manner will be solved. The greatest of all is the retrieval

of information, which will be at the click of the mouse. So the proposed system helps in saving the time in different operations and making information flow easy giving valuable reports. Data Dictionary: This is normally represented as the data about data. It is also termed as metadata some times which gives the data about the data stored in the database. It defines each data term encountered during the analysis and design of a new system. Data elements can describe files or the processes. Following are some major symbols used in the data dictionary 

= equivalent to



+ and



[] either/ or



() Optional entry

Following are some rules, which defines the construction of data dictionary entries: 1. Words should be defined to understand for what they need and not the variable need by which they may be described in the program . 2.

Each word must be unique. We cannot have two definition of the same client.

3.

Aliases or synonyms are allowed when two or more enters shows the same meaning. For example a vendor number may also be called as customer number.

4. A self-defining word should not be decomposed. It means that the reduction of any information in to subpart should be done only if it is really required that is it is not easy to understand directly. Data dictionary includes information such as the number of records in file, the frequency a process will run, security factor like pass word which user must enter to get excess to the information.

Limitation of this report: 

Employees of supply chain are usually busy with their daily work and activities, so it is quite impossible sometime to get time from them for getting information about our report.



Sometimes the authority does not provide their internal information which is very difficult to collect from any other sources.



Our group members were so busy because they had to make 2 or 3 reports. That‘s why it was quite difficult to regroup and group study for making report.



We did not have any proper financial support and limitation of time is also a barrier for making this report.



In the website, information about

supply chain is not sufficient. 100%

accurate supply chain of Agora we could not collect.

Future scope of the Project: 

Delivery date and time have not been specified in our project which can be included as a further enhancement to the project.



Dealers can also have the authentications in the futher expansion.



The entire functions are controlled by the Admin.only one report is generated at a time.generation of more reports,keeping the day-wise schedule can also be dine as part of future enhancement to this project.

Conclusion of the Project: 

This project has more scope in future and it can be integrated further



This project is successfully implemented with all the features mentioned earlier. This project is designed keeping in view the needs of the commen user and



satisfying the user upto the maximum extent possible. Deployement of our application will help the user to reduce the unneceaasry



wastage of time in going and ordering the product manuallly. Therefore we are successfully able to reach the goals and target of the



project.
