Monitoring System of Coca- Cola

The report provides a detailed analysis of the external environmental threats of coca

cola as well as how it monitors its environment to determine all the possible threats that may

exist /arise there from, to enable it maintain a competitive position over its key competitors in

the persistent shrinking business world with its attendant intense and unbridled competition.

This report, in a bid to review of the current monitoring system of coca-cola, will take a

problem/solution approach. This approach will help find out threatening environmental

factors that affect decision making, and strategy formulation and the actualization of the

strategic intent of the coca-cola, such as economic regulations, tax changes, new laws, trade

barriers, demographic change, and government policy changes among others. [ CITATION

Design of a Computerized Inventory Management System for Supermarket

Inventory is often the largest priced asset of a business after the fixed asset. Keeping the

inventory also means keeping a tab on the realizable value, market value of all the stocks,

stock in production and finished stock. This paper explores the challenges of manual

inventory management system for supermarkets and infers solution to the current challenges

by designing a computerized inventory management system to order and update the stocks.

The main method used for their research work is interview. Data were collected from 5

heterogeneous supermarkets and used as a tool for obtaining facts. When the goods were

supplied the update of the stocks were being taken from time to time. The finding shows the

challenges facing the manual system of inventory management system; the manual system

requires everyday counting of items in the inventory, human errors are very prevalent during

counting and recording and in case of disaster like fire or flood or poor communications, all

the manual inventory records will be damaged and irretrievable. Based on the findings this

paper highlights the possible solutions to the above problems; a computerized inventory

management system to order and update the stocks was designed the goods were supplied to

implement the possible solutions.[ CITATION Ope13 \l 3081 ]

Inventory System Improvement for 7eleven Addas Branch

Improvement for the inventory system of 7eleven covers the records of products used

in replenishing stocks from the shelves, ordering of new stocks, handling bad merchandises,

printing of receipt and listing of products that are about to expire. The system can alert the

staffs with the things that need to be done ahead of time. Alerts from the system are

beneficial for the store employees who are checking and listing manually the goods that are

running out of stocks or about to expire. Aside from making they’re of easier, the system

would also help the employees in better managing of stocks as well as the company to have

less inconvenience about their increasing number of convenience store nationwide.

One of the major factors that contribute to success of the store is the proper handling

of their inventory. Inventory management for 7eleven is the major strength of the company.

According to Mr. Benson V. Tisag, store manager of 7eleven Addas’ Branch, the store has a

good system that can help them monitor its day to day needs. But the system isn’t enough to

handle the continuous growth of the business and the demand of the market to be updated and

to manage the goods efficiently. There were times that their system encounters bugs and are

fixed immediately by a remote from their main office department. However, the store needs

to improve their system in order to get rid of this kind of instances. Given the demand from

its competitors, 7eleven needs establish a better market positioning. The store needs a strong

market that aims to maintain their image from its customer (Macasaet 2016).

Review of Related System

Online Ordering System (QSR)

This system also greatly lightens the load on the restaurant’s end, as the entire process

of taking orders is automated. Once an order is placed on the webpage, it is entered into the

database and then retrieved, in pretty much real-time, by a desktop application on the

restaurant’s end. Within this application, all items in the order are displayed, along with their

corresponding options and delivery details, in a concise and easy to read manner. This allows

restaurant employees to quickly go through the orders as they are placed and produced the

necessary items with minimal delay and confusion.

What I purpose is an online ordering system, which is a technique of ordering foods

online applicable in any food delivery industry. The main advantage of my system is that

greatly simplifies the ordering process for both the costumer and the restaurant. When the

customer visits the ordering webpage, they are presented with an interactive and up-to-date

menu, complete with all available options and dynamically adjusting prices based on the

selected options. After selecting, the item is then added to their order, which the customer can

review the details of at any time before checking out. This provides instant visual

confirmation of what was selected and ensures the items in the order are, in fact, what was

intended (Kapchinaga 2013).

Procurement, Inventory and Supply Monitoring System

The system will generate a fill up form where each employee can request their desired

equipment or supply. Once they have filled up the necessary information on the form, their

request will be sent to the administrator for its approval and if it is approved then it will be

pass to the supply officer for issuance. Once the transaction was done the system will now

make a printable output for a hard copy reference of the items requested by a certain

department or employee. The procurement process contains the date of each transaction like

when the item was requested, acquired, released and received. This study aims to develop a

Procurement, Inventory and Supply Monitoring System for department of education regional

office (Ariola, 2014).

Point of Sales and Inventory Systems

In the study conducted aimed to improve and to provide Point of Sales and Inventory

System for Clark Store. The system can easily determine the availability of stocks and the

stocks that needed to be purchased. This system enables the owner and the salesperson to

quickly process accurately business transactions and track the inventory of sales report. It was

created using Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition as front end and Microsoft Access

for database (Castellano, 2014).

Automated System for West Pototan Purified Drinking Water

To develop an Automated System for West Pototan Purified Drinking Water located

at West Visayas State University Pototan Campus. The system gave the researches an idea

about the general flow of making an inventory on the incoming and outgoing products in

drinking station. This system helps to speed-up business transaction, produce inventory

reports and organize retrieving of records and transactions. With this system, it will be easy

to update, add and store the client records with just a short period of time. It will be easier to

generate a report on how many customers buy the refilled water. The result of the evaluation

on the level of acceptability of the proposed system was good (Aguinaga et.al, 2013)

PLDT, Manila, Philippines Point of Sales

MANILA, Philippines, April 15,2011 –Small and medium enterprise, who long for a

point-of-sale (POS) system that can track how much they sell and how much stock they have

left at their stores in real-time and from anywhere, can now turn to PLDT SME Nation. POS

refers to the location where a transaction occurs. A POS system incorporates the software and

the hardware, usually called the POS terminal, which is used to complete the transaction and

print the receipt. This terminal is sometimes called the cash register (Macahilig 2016).
