1.1 Project Summary

1.1.1 Objectives
- The goal of the project is to design a product management system and manage inventory
at the supermarket quickly and accurately. Thereby achieving the effect of increasing the
customer's shopping experience, increasing work efficiency, and reducing labor costs.
- The product management system is built with the main objective of ensuring that the
products are always in stock and correctly classified and that the products in the
warehouse are also inventoried and made announcements to ensure there are no surpluses
or shortages.

1.1.2 Background
Currently, the process of product management and warehouse management is being
handled by people. For the product management process on the shelf, staff will go to
check the shelves to replenish the quantity and arrange the products that are in the wrong
position. This leads to an inefficient product management process.
- For the shelf management process:
+ Products that are out of stock or misplaced are not detected in time, resulting in
processing delays.
+ It takes a large number of staff to check and work to ensure the correct quantity
and arrangement of products. Supermarkets will face many problems in terms of
costs and personnel management.
+ During peak shopping times, the arrangement of many employees to handle
problems arising at the store causes overload and creates a bad experience for
customers as well as making it difficult for employees to operate. pellets.
+ Processes are performed manually leading to errors and difficulties in goods
management.
+ Important product information such as batch number, and expiry date is also about
to be difficult to check manually.
- For the warehouse management process
+ Because of the large number of products with many classifications, the staff
cannot accurately and timely count the products in the warehouse, but it also
consumes a lot of labor costs.
+ If inventory management is not accurate and timely, it will lead to serious
problems such as out-of-stock products that are not supplied on time or inventory
status.
+ The warehouse management system needs to be combined with the effective
management of products on the shelves to always ensure the right quantity and
quality of products.
