Abstract
The researchers are working on a capstone project called A Costing and
Product Assessment Program for a Fast and Efficient Quotation for Safer
Storage Systems of Dandenong South, Australia. The system that the
proponents will be creating a costing and estimation transaction is what takes
place between a Company and a customer when a product or service is quoted
The study is distributed in the form of a sales quote. The system will
provide end users with two (2) levels of access. Administrator and User. To
access the system, each end user will need their individual registered Email
Address and Password. If the employee does not have an account, they can
create one by filling out the Registration form, and if they forget their password,
they can use the Forgot Password option. End users can browse the Homepage
and see a brief Product Details and shows the product list and the

recommended retail price, often known as the suggested retail price, is the price
at which the Company should sell. Also shows the Sales Quotes page, which
includes four (4) options: draw,
Excel should be exported, saved, and printed. It gives product characteristics for
selective racking systems and accessories, such as the brand name, variant,
and price of a product, as well as size, color, and other important information
consumers need to know before buying, and it also allows customers to buy the
item. The user should select a variation and give a sketch of the racking system
as well as sales quotes for the products the customer is purchasing. In this
instance,
Selective racking systems and accessories were acquired by the customer.
Export a summary of the whole product receipt and use Excel to calculate the
SSS RACKING DESIGN & costing software.

1. Introduction
Safer Storage Systems create completely customized pallet
racking and shelving solutions for business across Australia. With
specialized teams in place, we have every detail of your project covered.
Safer Storage Systems is your local pallet racking solutions provider and
manufacturer. Based in Dandenong South have been supplying
warehouse racking and storage systems across Australia for over 15
years. The team of storage engineers are the experts when it comes to
designing completely customized pallet storage solutions for warehouses
of all sizes. There are no default layouts here, we go the extra mile to
analyze your operational data to develop a pallet racking solution that
gives you the greatest return on investment year on year. From pallet
racks and shelving to fully automated pallet shuttle systems and more,
Safer Storage Systems offers a complete solution to help you get more
from your storage space.

Consultative service analyses your space and uses the findings to
engineer a solution that fully optimizes your storage facility. Safety and
quality are paramount through everything. It is why they have partnered
with Gonvarri Material Handling (GMH) to become the exclusive
Australian supplier of the comprehensive GMH range. It gives businesses
right across the country access to equipment from the world-renowned,
European storage manufacturer.
Safer Storage Systems is proud to be one of the few racking
companies manufacturing the product in Australia and is passionate
about growing Australia’s manufacturing presence. We have commenced
the production of P90+ Racking in Melbourne and are also equipped with
industrial welding machines and paint lines at Dandenong South
premises to weld and paint beams on demand. Local manufacturing
offers our customers shorter lead times, lower freight costs, and
consistently high quality at any time of year. It also reduces the reliance
on international supply chains, giving us and our customers confidence in
product access now and well into the future.

Storing goods on pallets is the most common method to manage
warehouse stock. Pallet racking is the most effective method of storing
pallets but understanding what type of structure is needed can sometimes
be confusing. Pallet racking is manufactured from steel, which can be a
costly commodity. Having an extensive range of products to choose from,
means that we can achieve the loading capacity you require, with a pallet
racking structure that suits your operation, in a cost-effective way. Our
systems can be easily configured in a variety of ways based on your needs
and pallet load, to ensure a functional and logical warehouse storage
solution for you. Whatever the industry, there’s a range of storage systems
that can provide optimal storage economics. From Drive-in Racking or
Mobile Racking (MOVO) for frozen and cold-store goods; to First-in, First-
out (FIFO) Pallet-flow systems for bulk goods such as those with a best
before date.

1.1. Safer Storage Systems create racking systems and
accessories that they offer
1.1.1. Selective racking
Not only is selective racking the most common configuration for
any warehouse, but this type of shelving also allows for the very best
view and accessibility to your stock. As the pallet locations are built into
single runs, either stand-alone (single entry) or back-to-back rows (double
entry), all pallets are aisle facing. This gives maximum visibility to your
products, as well as the ability for a forklift operator to select any product
at any one time. Beam levels are fully adjustable depending on the weight
and size of your products. In most cases, top beam levels can be
positioned up to 15 meters high, allowing for greater use of the height of
your warehouse

1.1.2. Double deep racking
Twice as deep as selective racking, a Double Deep Pallet Racking
configuration allows for the storage of two pallets per location and can be
stored a maximum of five levels above the ground. This saves on aisle
space and allows for an increased storage capacity in your warehouse.
Double Deep Racking systems can also increase picking efficiency – as
products are contained within a smaller area, they are easier to locate. To
access the
second pallet, a double deep forklift, or special forklift attachment
is needed. However once set up with this equipment, the benefits of this
storage configuration can outweigh this initial investment. These forks
can also be used to access pallets in other racking systems. Guide rails

are also added to the top beam levels to assist the drivers in lining up the
fork with the pallets sitting higher in the racking.
1.1.3. Narrow aisle
Narrow Aisle Racking offers a number of benefits. Available in
single or double deep depth racking configurations, this storage system
can accommodate pallets, boxes, mesh containers, and more. Beam
levels can be unique to each bay or consistent across the entire system,
giving you great flexibility around what and how you utilize your storage
space. Just like standard racking, additional frames and beams can be
added to your starter bays to adjust the configuration to adapt as your
business grows for extra capacity.
1.1.4. Mobile pallet racking (MOVO)
Mobile Racking (MOVO) is an electronically controlled, high load
racking system. It runs on in-ground rails with state-of-the-art sensor
technology for ease of use and safe operation. This Mobile Racking

System can double your storage capacity, eliminating the need for aisle
spaces. It is able to carry bay loads of up to 24 tonnes at racking heights
of up to 12 meters to maximize your storage space. Operate your
MOVO system via a touch screen with a clear graphical display that is
simple, yet powerful.
1.1.5. Pallet shuttle
Pallet Shuttle system offers a fast, accurate, and high-density
storage solution. The semi-automated system uses a pallet shuttle to
deliver and retrieve pallets from within the system, which means forklifts
do not need to enter the racking – reducing any risk of damage to the
structure itself. The Pallet Shuttle is operated by remote control to
provide a highly efficient alternative to live storage and drive-in racking.
Offering either first in,
First out (FIFO) or as Last in, Last out (LIFO) storage configuration
our Pallet Shuttle is ideal for cold storage and ambient applications, as
well as long-life food and beverage storage.

1.1.6. Drive-in
Drive-In pallet racking is very effective for the storage of large
quantities of the same or similar products. Our Drive-In storage system
provides maximum storage capacity with one of the lowest warehouse
footprints. Using a first-in, last-out (LIFO) picking structure, it is ideal for
high-density storage of products that are ordered into the warehouse in
large quantities and sold out to consumers quickly. Pallet trucks drive into
the “drive-in” channels to access or place pallets on the beams which run
straight out from the back of the system, unlike other pallet racking where
the beam levels run horizontally to the frames. Drive-in pallet racking also
ensures that pallets are well supported without the need to add mesh
decks, saving you costs on accessories and space.

1.1.7. Crane racking
ASRS, or Crane Racking as it is otherwise known, is an efficient
and fully automated storage and retrieval system. With narrow aisles
and heights of more than 30 meters, this solution offers efficient, high-
density storage for a large variety of pallets. Crane Racking adapts to
any warehouse with ease. From pallet load capacity and building
heights to storage cycle times and temperature control, this system is
designed for complete flexibility. As the name suggests, Crane Racking
is equipped with cranes, which are guided by a management software
system. The cranes travel along the aisles of the warehouse, then
automatically position themselves to extract the goods before delivering
each item to the front of the racking. It means warehouse staff does not
have to enter the racking to pick the goods, making it safe, fast, and
highly accurate. There is also the option for multi-deep configurations. A

shuttle can be added to the crane to assist with the retrieval or storage
of pallets. Crane racking can also be designed as part of a rack-clad
building.
The pallet racking structure forms the building frames to support the walls
and ceiling. Cladding is added directly onto the racking, which means that
every inch of the warehouse can be utilized for storage. These structures
are designed to handle external loads as well as support the crane and
racking.
2. Project Contexts
The system that the proponents will be creating a costing and
estimation transaction is what takes place between a Company and a
customer when a product or service is quoted, commonly using a
system to complete the transaction. Typically use of a system to
complete a sales quotation. In its most basic definition, a system is a

combination of hardware and software to create a machine for
processing a transaction.
Our system may include a digital SMS or email that can manage
the transaction, forgot password, and cloud service. This can be
accomplished with free online tools or paid software.
The system will be done by creating a costing transaction, drawing
output, a printable or pdf costing, and VB. NET language. Were the
program is set to create an organized costing and design or compute the
SSS RACKING DESIGN & costing program in excel and easily view the
costing program with details of racking materials and the description a
total of the said Item.
As a group we want to develop for efficient costing, less time,
conducting output, and execute with drawing and costing. This system is
more on quotes, purchase orders for fast and real-time, and the SSS
RACKING DESIGN & costing program can export and import into excel at
the same time. The process of improvement to cost-efficient and

knowledge by using it and correcting the error of mistaken data will be
given.
2.1. Log in and Log out Register (Security Module)
Create registration and login system in VB.NET language with
MySQL database. Furthermore, we create a login form and registration
for the company access only will be the admin to register the person.
Moreover, we create a MySQL connection file to establish a database
connection thru the price list and log in. Thus, we create a complete login
system with an interactive design and forgot password. The guarantee of
security will be highly protected due to the price list on the system.
2.2. Forgot Password
If the username is found in the database, a recovery mail is sent to
the user’s email. The recovery mail will have a link. The link’s essential
part is a hashed random secure token or by contacting the administrator
for further instruction.
2.3. Dashboard

When You the user in The Dashboard will appear and the user can
view the racking systems and accessories that they offer and can easily
check the item with quick access to information and common tasks. Also
canvas they need after selecting an item.
2.4. Search Bar
The List of Products page appears the selecting racking systems
and accessories when you use the Product Search bar, and it allows you
to see a list of all products that can be sold. It indicates if the product is out
of stock or whether it still has availability of product however it must be
monitored to check the quantity.
2.5 Product Details and Sketch with sales quotes
It shows the product details of selective racking systems and
accessories product and displays the brand name, the variant, and the

price of a product including size, color, and other relevant information
customers want to know before purchasing
it also allows to customer. Buy the said item, the user should select a
variation and it shows the example sketch of the racking system also the
sales quotes of the product that the customer purchasing.
2.6 Export/Import The sales Quotes of Purchase
In this case the selective racking systems and accessories product
purchase by the customer export the summary of the total receipt of the
product and compute the SSS RACKING DESIGN & costing program in
excel.
2.7 Soft copy of Quote sales and Check out receipt
This feature allows the user to display all the items added or
purchase, it will display the total amount that the user will canvas/pay.

3. Purpose and Description
Conducting efficient drawing and costing within the sales and
design team in the company. A small job can do this program even not
knowing racking can do a job of estimation and cost. The purposes of this
system are for the smaller job without contacting the designer and can
easily give the quotation to the customer within the site or meeting place.
It can choose a type of quotation by selecting a system or type in the
dashboard, also can execute a drawing of what type of the racking
system will be using of the client. Increasing the time management by

using it between the customer and client. Will be the use of the standard
of the company, stabilize the standard of the said company.
The program will be used by the sales and design team, even staff
that will need it. Especially those people will know the costing, qty and
others item will be needed in the project. This program knows how
capable will be using it without the person’s knowledge using it. A friendly
user program, just selecting the item and inputting the quantity numbers.
It will be showing the quotation on the right side of the program, and it
can be printed or pdf. Also, can be imported and exported the excel if an
additional change like customized item, freight is not indicated because of
changing the fee within the area.
4. Objective of the Study
The objective of this study is to improve the services of the said
company and to create an organized point-of-sale transaction or P.O.S
System, to compute the SSS RACKING DESIGN & costing program. In
excel and P.O.S to easily view the costing program with details of racking
materials and the description and the total of the said item for the efficient
costing, less time, conducting output and execute with drawing and

costing. This system is more on quotes, purchase orders for fast and real-
time, and the SSS RACKING DESIGN & costing program can be
exported and imported into excel at the same time.
Construction cost estimating is the process of forecasting the cost
of building a physical structure. Of course, builders and clients both worry
about the financial impact of cost overruns and failing to complete a
project. That’s why they devote time and effort to estimating how much a
project will cost before deciding to move forward with it. Clients
considering large projects often seek multiple cost estimates, including
those prepared by contractors and those calculated by independent
estimators.
Project owners use cost estimates to determine a project’s scope
and feasibility and to allocate budgets. Contractors use them when

deciding whether to bid on a project. You usually prepare estimates with
the input of architects and engineers to ensure that a project meets
financial feasibility and scope requirements.
A good cost estimate prevents the builder from losing money and
helps the customer avoid overpaying. It’s a core component of earned
value management, a project management technique that tracks a
project’s performance against the total time and cost estimate.
Creating a construction cost estimate is good practice for anyone
who cares about how much their project will cost. You routinely do cost
estimates for all kinds of construction projects, from building new
structures to remodeling.

Accurate estimates are especially critical for development projects,
which have budgets and timelines closely linked to paying back lenders
and generating revenue as early as possible. They are also essential for
large civil projects or mega-projects because of their sizable scope and
the potential involvement of public money. On a mega-project, small
miscalculations become magnified. In projects constructed with public
funds, cost estimates increase accountability, provide transparency, and
enhance trust in your ability to manage the project properly.
The accuracy of a cost estimate relies on a number of things: the
quality of the project plan; the level to which the estimator defines a
project; the experience and skill of the estimator; the accuracy of cost
information; and the quality of any tools and procedures the estimator
uses.
Depending on the type and size of a project, as well as the industry,
cost estimation may fall to one individual or a team, and estimators may
hold a number of different positions. For some construction projects,
contractors and subcontractors prepare the cost estimates, though this is

not regarded as best practice. At other times, the construction
salesperson will be responsible for creating an estimate. Architectural
firms may have in-house estimators, typically people who take on the
estimator’s function in addition to their primary role. Increasingly,
however, qualified independent estimators handle estimates against
which one verifies the contractor’s estimates.
For contractors, good cost estimates win jobs. Customers usually
select the lowest bid that meets the standards and specifications they set.
In a competitive bidding situation, the time and effort you spend preparing
the estimate are a cost of doing business and an investment in winning
the job. If urgency is a factor for a project, the speed at which you prepare
a bid can also be a differentiator.
5. Significance of the Study
The study will benefit the users because they can order and select
a material needed and easily visualize the product by the drawing/sketch
provided and they canvas the materials and view the total amount of the

product. This research would be beneficial to the sales and customer
benefit even the staff within the company can quote the cost of materials
and can manage the time without conducting a meeting with the design
team with standard material. Also, a system keeps track of transactions
between a retailer and a customer. This refers to both the hardware and
the software that is used. Instead of having separate systems for cash
registers,
Costing or cost benefits the exact amount or discounted price will
be given in the client, it can have a quantity material, list item and others
that should be requested or not by the client. It is useful in actual site
inspection while costing in the front of the client. Sales teams are the
majority will be using costing, they can estimate the materials even
without contacting the designer, as per the standard system will be using
it.
6. Scope and Limitation
This study focuses on the cost estimate and drawing output that
can use by the sales team without the help of the design team especially

the customer. The data collected will be used for costing whatever
materials should be needed by the client and sales can suggest at the
time of their meeting. The most important thing of the scope is to help the
staff to use it and familiarize them of the costing and materials have in the
company and what will be useful material to be delivered or installed in
the site.
The database is designed for the item price list, parts code,
description to enable them easily to produce the information required in
the costing. User and admin have always the name, contact number,
email, and password. The level of access of user and admin, while the
user access only the costing can’t change the price list and parts code,

and for the admin can manage all item for the updated price and parts
code. Data should be stored in safer places like the cloud to ensure the
previous file can be saved and retrieved if any chance of loss.

2.1. Local Literature
2.1.1. Property and threat inventory is kept on hand in the form of
an itemized list of supplies or a guard with the designation or

description of a specific piece when its value is unknown. The
efficiency of the supply chain has improved as the warehouse app
scales up. In the Philippines, inventory matters when it comes to
bookkeeping. The system is improved by developing a chemical
and hazardous waste system. In an article titled “Article About
Inventory System in the Philippines, published by
news.giessegi.com tackles the different forms of inventory systems
and their reckoning problem in the Philippines.
2.1.2. The raw materials used in creating a product are inventoried
against the number of goods developed and the actual
expenditures made till a final product is produced, which is largely
developed and applied in production firms.
Inventory management systems are rarely employed in schools
because the focus is on providing high-quality instruction. The
article discusses an automated approach for managing equipment
inventory at the country's State Universities and Colleges. The
system, in particular, collects data on each employee's equipment
records and keeps track of them; the history of equipment given to
each employee, as well as automated inventory management and

report generation for equipment inventory management. This
information is relayed upon by the journal of B. M. Tapado and M.
E. T. Delluza, “Equipment Inventory Management System (EIMS).”
2.1.3. The goal of this project was to pinpoint and resolve issues
with inventory management and sales management. In terms of
their business processes, business industries have met numerous
issues. Jorona Aquatic Resources and International Trading, Inc.
is a Philippine-based corporation that sells aquatic resources both
globally and domestically.
Quality service, efficient marketing techniques, communication,
and security were all challenges for the aforementioned
organization. During the proponents' investigation, they discovered
flaws that slowed corporate procedures and may have hampered
the quick growth of income. They discovered that an Integrated
Sales and Inventory Management system solved the company's

present issues. They talked about how much the system would
cost, how it would work, what benefits the organization would
receive if they implemented it, and how it would affect the staff.
The article of J. B. N. Cambronero, N. A. F. Labadan, H. K. D.
Labio, R. J. B. Redoña, and B. J. F. Salarda, “Integrated Sales and
Inventory Management System Implemented In Three-Tier
Architecture” expound the Sales and Inventory Management
System that is currently under operation on a three-tier
architecture, and how it affects the business that revolves around
it.
2.1.4. Inventory management will continue to be a concern for any
company that deals with tangible items and the materials
necessary to manufacture them. The more complicated the
inventory management process becomes, the larger the company
and the more diverse its product range. Many businesses owners
regard inventory management as nothing more than a headache,
despite the fact that it is their key to maximizing profits. In the
article,” Understanding the importance of inventory management
system” posted on the website, www.ansi.ph, tackles the four

points that demonstrate the need of a good inventory management
system.
2.1.5. You can quickly enjoy considerable financial benefits by
effectively controlling your inventory. Tracking inventory expenses,
monitoring earnings, anticipating inventory, and forecasting
changes in the prices of goods for sale are all examples of such
advantages. According to the article of dvphilippines.com,
“Knowing the accounting inventory management basics”, there are
five ways to familiarize yourself in inventory management,
especially when you are just a starter in the field.
2.2. Local Studies
2.2.1. The majority of today's corporate organizations are utilizing
cutting-edge technology to streamline their transactions and
elevate their company processes to new heights. They are

currently using automated methods to handle their transactions
based on their requirements. One of the most widely utilized
systems in many organizations is the point-of-sale system. It aids
in the improvement of the process and the speeding up of
consumer transactions. Fast-food chains, pharmacies, grocery
stores, and other businesses that need to track transactions, sales,
and financial status frequently employ point of sale systems. The
work of N. Tienzo, “POS in the Philippines”, discusses the impact
of the point-of-sale system on our country's transactions.
2.2.2. Having a Point-of-Sale System (POS System) rather to a
Manual Ordering System has numerous benefits. The term "point
of sale" refers to the technology that a customer uses to deliver
payment information in exchange for good service. According to
the study of L. B. Tobongbanua, J. R. S. Magalona, T. F.

Martizion, V. B. Montecastro, and J. L. G. Sangangeles, it speeds
up the transaction process and generates more revenue for the
organization.
2.2.3. Since the rise of electronic and automated systems, the use
of manual procedures in business has decreased. Indeed,
because of the increased productivity and efficiency of data
processing, computer-based business systems are now widely
used in both developed and developing countries around the
world. M. M. Balangue, A. S. E. Cainoy, L. M. C. Celestino, C. O.
J. Gallardo, and A. B. Landicho conducted a study regarding the
issue on sales and inventory of stocks of a company.
They are looking to a more methodical approach of doing sales
and inventory. For them, the manual system produces wrong data
most of the time, which might result in a loss of business. They get
the idea of producing approximates because of their lethargy

throughout the regular method of recording items. 'Alternatively,
the proponents propose a computer-based sales and inventory
system to track all stockpiles and impending items.
2.2.4. An inventory system is a useful tool for keeping track of the
various materials that are moved in and out of a company's
warehouse or location, primarily for accounting purposes. In order
to keep track of all of its stocks, a corporation must also keep track
of all transactions and movement of items. However, at certain
establishments, material inventory is done manually, with an
employee writing down the information of various goods every time
they are carried in and out of the room. It is tackled on the study
performed by Romblon State University, Cajidiogan, Romblon.
2.2.5. The goal of the study by L. N. L. Baylen, was to see how
successful inventory management is. To provide suggestions and
solutions to the challenges that they meet in their day-to-day

operations, the system that caused the decline in profit of the
randomly selected small-sized restaurants in the four districts of
Quezon province was used. The data for this descriptive study was
gathered using both quantitative and qualitative methods. A poll of
the restaurant staff was undertaken, as well as an interview with
restaurant owners. The acquired data were analyzed and
interpreted using weighted mean, frequency, and percentage.

products for Lean Production” D.M. Anderson, clarifies the idea of
the plan of manufacturability and depicts the potential issues that
can be kept away when manufacturability is carried out.
Creating items utilizing simultaneous designing is one of the best
ways of delivering. It expects groups to have an early and dynamic

investment, everything being equal. Concurrent engineering is truly
an edge in manufacturability.
2.3.2. In the cutting-edge time, digital deals are one of the most
pursued advertising procedures and business styles. During the
pandemic, digital deals – internet selling, and web-based
promoting began to develop. Regarding to the journal of Y. Robul,
O. Deineha, M. Prokopenko, O. Lukianykhina, and N.
Baistriuchenko, “Cyber Sales as The Latest Tool For Optimizing
An Enterprise Strategy”, chatbots or programmed answers are
utilized for the specialized association of deals cost and
improvement on work of customers.
2.3.3. “Artificial Intelligence and its Role in Near Future”, a work by
G. Rupesh and S. Choudaiah tackles the role of Artificial
Intelligence in the near future. The intelligence agents that contain
devices that perceive the environment and its reaction depend on
the perceptions to augment objective achievement. As Artificial
Intelligence can learn and foresee, it is a major assistance to the

public. As time passes by, the future for Artificial Intelligence and
its users is significant.
2.3.4. Choosing an appropriate contractor to deal with your
construction is a significant undertaking in the development of the
construction. Decision Making in Contractor Selection: AHP and
Expert Choice Approach”, by N. M. Shajina, handles the
significance of choosing the appropriate contractor. The nature of
the structure is depended on your chosen contractor as they select
their colleagues, such as engineers, architects, designers, and the
construction team, and buy all the materials required. This will
likewise guarantee your safety as you appreciate utilizing your
developed structure.
2.3.5. Development projects have turned into signs of monetary
development. It is probably the biggest business on the planet. R.
Ranjan and Dr. G. A. Hinge researched the practices that need to
be adapted for the construction to be at its best. In their research
“Project Quarterback Rating to Assess Performance of
Construction Project”, they recognized the five key factors that are

critical to the accomplishment of the development. The analysis of
the exploration expressed that development projects are regularly
going about as an impetus to the advancement of nations. The
aftereffect of their analysis will be helpful to those organizations,
which are doing various ventures to choose the best performer and
adopt the best practices followed by that task in their future
projects.
2.3.6. Price, Quality, and Delivery are the three fundamental
parameters that determine the sales ability of the company. The
need for labor and products by the clients ought to be provided of
acceptable quality or be available by a particular time that it will be
a value for worth of cash. Clients are the ones that will move and
upgrade the organization, as they are the ones that will create
income for the organization. The organization should deal with its
clients since they will just exist due to their clients as they will just
return on account of being happy with their items or services. The
study “Automotive Quality Management System”, by D. Chandok
and O. P. Tiwari, explains the effect of customers on the company,
and how it will affect the management of the business.

2.4. Foreign Studies
2.4.1. The research “Effect of Storage Systems on the
Organizational Performance: Study of Holdings within Kisumu City”
conducted by O. B. Odhiambo and J. Janet clarifies the
significance of having decent working stockpiling frameworks
inside an association. The target of their examination was to
guarantee proficient capacity frameworks implied for working on
the presentation of association. By deciding the various sorts of
capacity frameworks to what sort of capacity framework does
every association need, demonstrates the connection between the
hierarchical benefit and the capacity of each framework.
2.4.2. Choosing the proper sort of capacity frameworks, to how
much limit it can hold inside the permitted space, the study

“Automated or Manual Storage Systems: Do Throughput and
Storage Capacity Matter?” of N. Zaerpour, R. Volbeda, and A.
Gharehgozli will help you to fully understand the situation. They
clarify the various potential outcomes and results that affect the
choice of what kind of capacity framework you will make. The
distribution center necessities, stockpiling limit, throughput, and
what sort of item you will store, impact the choice of the stockroom
supervisor or warehouse manager.
2.4.3. “Storage is an important aspect of every business, thus
every company needs to make maximum utilization of their space”
– quoted sentence from their study, “Enhancing the storage
capacity by utilizing vertical space using mezzanine flooring in a
small-scale industry”. A. Mukunda, K. Anjulakshmi, S. D. Kulkarni,
T. Navya, and R. J. Shivakumar propose the upward stockpiling
frameworks utilizing mezzanine flooring as an appropriate
stockpiling arrangement of limited scope enterprises.
A few enterprises cannot have and oblige adequate material for
creation because of their restricted spaces. Vertical stockpiling is

one method for solving this sort of issue since it will make sufficient
capacity for their materials.
2.4.4. The capacity to plan and dispatch items quickly is a benefit
of lean enterprises. They for the most part have quicker reflexes
than their large-scale manufacturing partners do. The “Supply
Chain Development for the Lean Enterprise” study by R. Cooper
and R. Slagmulder produced by The IMA Foundation for Applied
Research, Inc., demonstrates the distinctive methodology creation
organizations are utilizing. They likewise separate the advantages
and disadvantages of every creation approach.
2.4.5. Technology continues to upgrade every time. In the
research conducted by S. T. Ponis and O. K. Efthymiou, “Cloud
and IoT Applications in Material Handling Automation and
Intralogistics”,
they concentrated on the present status of the workmanship and
recognize significant patterns and exploration weaknesses. In the

wake of leading their examination, they concentrated on the huge
changes that are in progress for stockrooms and intralogistics
offices.
2.4.6. In this review, three issues will be solved using two
techniques, and three arrangements are delivered. The work of S.
Santoso, J. Kauf, and N. C. Aristo, “The Information System of
Name Card Sales Based On Digital Marketing To Improve
Creativepreneur On College E-Commerce Website, explains the
benefit of having an e-commerce website. Having an internet
business site helps the deals and showcasing of their item as it
tends to be accessed anytime and in any place.

2.3. Synthesis
2.3.1. The proposed design of the User Interface of this program is
designed on the needs of the Sales and Design Team of Safer
Storage Systems of Dandenong South, Australia. It is designed to
ease the workload of the Sales and Design Team as it automates
the preparation and quotation of their products and services. The
program must have a login page, the home page, product
assessment page, and quotation result. In this order, it will largely
help and ease the workload of the employees as they will just click,
choose, and enter the chosen products of their customers and it
will automatically print the product assessment and the quotation
for the chosen products.

System Architecture
The system’s architecture is designed to cater to common devices such
as computers and tablets, with a simple architecture, it will be easy for users and
administrators alike to access the system. The system is focused on the
database which is a huge part of the system; it will process and record all the
data given by all users. With the database not working properly, every single
document processed would go to waste. It also shows that whatever handles the
database also plays a huge part and because the architecture is not based on
the cloud, one system failure on the database side of the architecture would ruin
the entire system.

program for a fast and efficient quotation to be used by the sales and design
team for Safer Storage Systems of Dandenong South Australia
Figure 3.11 Conceptual Framework starts with the admin who organizes, and
administers the activities, and the user entering details of their own. If
requirements are met, the information given by the user will be processed by the
system, goes to the database to store the data that they enter into a system and
the output depends on whether the user is a regular user or an administrator.
The outcome should be efficient and see the print receipt and export it into
excel.

Requirement Analysis
In the first phase of the product development cycle, the customer's needs
are understood. The research phase involves in-depth communication with the
customer to understand what he wants and what his requirements are. This
phase involves communicating with the customer to understand his expectations
and exact requirement. This is a very important activity and needs to be
managed properly, because most customers are not sure what they need.

System Design
Once you have the complete product requirements, it is time to design
the system. The system design will include the understanding of the complete
hardware, communications, and product development. The system test plan is
developed using the system design.
Architectural Design
The architectural specifications are understood and designed in this
phase. The final decision is made after a number of potential approaches have
been proposed for consideration. The system is broken down into modules that
cover different functionalities.
Module Design
It is important that the design is compatible with other modules of the
system architecture and other external systems. Tests are an essential part of
any development process and will help eliminate the maximum faults and errors
at a very early stage.
Coding Phase

The design of the system modules is completed in the design phase, and
the actual coding is completed in the coding phase. The best programming
language to use is the one that is being used for the research: VB.NET for the
main language and for the back-end MySQL.
Unit Testing
Unit tests designed in the module design phase are executed on the code
during this validation phase. Unit testing is the testing at a code level and can
help eliminate bugs at an early stage, though all defects cannot be uncovered by
unit testing.
Integration Testing
Integration testing is an important and associated part of the architectural
design phase. Integration tests are performed to test the coexistence and
communication of the internal modules within the system, which are designed to
work together.

System Testing
System testing is related to the design phase of a system. System tests
check the entire system functionality and the communication of the system
under development with external systems. Most of the software and hardware
compatibility issues can be uncovered at this system test execution
Acceptance Testing
Acceptance testing is associated with the business requirements analysis
phase and requires you to test your product in your environment. Even if the
system is open to the public, researchers need to monitor the system and
continue to monitor it until it performs its function.

System Architecture/System Flow
Figure 3.13 Login Page
Login Page shows the system will begin at the login page, where the user
will be asked to log in. Once the user's identity has been verified, the user will be
redirected to either an administrator page or a regular user page, depending on

the user is registered as an Administrator or a regular User within the
system had been used.
Figure 3.14 Registration Page

Registration page shows the system will be account registration where
the information given to input in the field and what user type will be given by the
admin.

Development and Testing
In the development of the proposed system, it requires planning, analysis
requirements, maintenance and update. To build the system, the proponent
used Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) as their main computer programming
language for the desktop application. In addition, Microsoft MySql also added for
its relational database management system.
Testing occurs the development system because it validated that the
system fully functions and working smoothly. The following method having use
in the system and procedure of the following: End to End Testing, Integration
Testing, Performance Testing, Sanity Testing, Security Testing, Unit Testing and
White Box Testing.
End to End Testing is a technique that tests the entire software product
from beginning to end to ensure the application flow behaves as expected. It
defines the product’s system dependencies and ensures all integrated pieces
work together as expected.
Integration Testing is the process of testing the interface between two
software units or module. It’s focus on determining the correctness of the
interface. The purpose of the integration testing is to expose faults in the

interaction between integrated units. Once all the modules have been unit
tested, integration testing is performed.
Performance Testing is a technique that focus on how a system running
the system perform under a particular workload. IT and tester in creating a
performance testing environment in the system.
Sanity Testing is a technique performed by the test team for some basic
test, to aim of a basic test is too concerned the bugs are fixed and no further
issued by the I.T personnel.
Security Testing is a technique to ensure the vulnerabilities of the system
are free from any threats or risk. Protects data and maintain functionality of the
system.
Unit Testing is an initial stage product testing technique where small units
or components of the products are tested individually. The small unit can be an
individual function, method, procedure, module, or object. This Individual testing
guarantees that every unit of the product is performing expectedly.
White Box Testing is a technique that is based on application internal
code structure of internal perspective of system are used to design test cases
and this testing usually is done by the IT Personnel.

Input and Output Reports and Analysis

Description of the Prototype
It presents the detailed of the system function for each part. The system
will implement a strong and security to protect the data that in the system.
The system had a two (2) level of access, one is administrator, and the
other is regular user. administrator account, creating a registration for the user,
track the database of create account, price list and data job created. Also,
administrator can remove user account, data job created and updating of each
database, administrator can only create a user account by collecting data on it,
and each account can declare which are admin or user. While the user can
access only the racking system, account updating, and the data job created.

Log-in UI, the first interface that admin and user, need to log-in to access
which form/page they link, the formatted password of the user should consist of
minimum of eight (8) to twelve (12) alphanumeric case sensitive characters with
one (1) upper case and one (1) numeric character. If have a problem log-in
because on the email and password incorrect, contact the administrator to send
to your email the new password.
Administrator menu can see the percentage created by the month

Implementation Plan
The system will be sent to Safer Storage System – Dandenong Australia,
after the system are fully function. If the company used the system, it would help
the sales team, design team and other staff to easily quote and track their
working job. The administrator will be assigned to register the user to use it the
system they will want to, and also track their create job. For the maintenance
and update of the system is created friendly user. There will be a letter of
agreement that the system will hand over to the company freely, but hardware
devices will provide by the company.
There will be a guidebook to how use it and also conduct the training and
procedure within the sales team and design team. The following training will be
conducted 2 days to familiarize the workflow of the system, especially those who
want to use it that never have costing and product assessment.
