CHAPTER 1 - Setting
The Organization/The Company: Overview
The proposed system will provide easy-to-use and easy-accessed system. It gives more
accurate and secure records of sales and list of products.
The business is just depending on their manual listing of products and inputs of data
which is possible to commit errors. The business can’t view their proper records of sales or
income. It also doesn’t have its proper listings of product. In some instances, lost items are just
being ignored by the owner.
As the company prospers, it is important to have a system that will help keep track of the sales
activity and the number of inventory of the products being sold everyday. However, the
growing sales of the company is hard to monitor and they are still using a traditional system in
which inflows and outflows of goods are only manually recorded. This has led to the
With these, the researchers decided to build a powerful tool which the company will
trust upon and rely on. The Sales Prediction with Data Mining for Milktealicious is to highlight
their business transactions. This tends to develop an automate point-of-sale and inventory
system that will function more efficiently and effectively. This proposed system will help the
company ease the entire problem encountered in their manual procedures through the
propose system. It focuses especially on the Inventory, POS, information of the employees,
According to the study of POS and Inventory Control System of Digital Carmen
Warehouse, automated system can be used in inventory processing and this could minimize or
solve problems. In addition, the viability in filling, recording, retrieving, classifying, storing and
searching can be provided by a new system which improves the company’s performance.
(Quibuyen, 2011)
The proponents decided to come up with the system in order to end the company’s
issue, and to produce a computerized inventory system that has a faster, better and more
systematic way of tracking inventory flows. The company will also have a background of the fast
moving items that needs a restock from time to time. It will also gives the customers the
which monthly report will cover, and the integration of loyalty points to their loyal
customer to give the customer new level of experience when it comes to points and
how they will redeem an item. Also, to give convenience for the crew and owner on

CHAPTER 2 - REVIEW OF EXISTING PROCESS
Inaccurate projection of demand and supply
Inventory needs to be replenished in a timely manner or else your business experiences a severe
backlog. Inaccurate need analysis can lead to stock piling or inventory shortage. Manual inventory
management system fails to identify gaps, predict future needs, or streamline data to produce analytical
trends.
A system that doesn’t provide visibility and accuracy to a business function does more harm than good.
Decentralized control
A system that doesn’t incorporate all aspects of business function can prove ineffective. Manual
inventory system follows a decentralized approach; this means your data isn’t updated in real-time, and
inventory levels are updated periodically.
On the other hand, inventory management software is connected with all aspect of the business. It’s a
real-time inventory management system that updates stock levels as soon as a sale is incurred at the
Point-of Sale. This improves accuracy and allows businesses to replenish stock level on time, and
without delays.
Lack of optimization
Manual inventory system might seem like the right choice, but in the long-run, this system has limited
growth opportunities.
The research will focus on the development of sales inventory system and
loyalty application for Milktealicious. The research focuses on the fast analysis of
bestselling item, available stocks and items to be ordered, and identifying time and
season where items are mostly in demand. It will help the company in terms of
decision making. This will be possible through creating sales inventory system and
providing a GUI or graphical user interface that used to input data in the following
for the items. It provides a record to the user for maintenance and security purposes

Mobile Copy & Images Milktealicious should provide contents on the images
and the write ups
Ownership of the copyright in software code is important because the copyright owner controls the
ability to copy, distribute, sell, or modify the code, and generally controls the ability to profit from the
code. Under copyright law, the author of a line of software code is the owner of the copyright in that
code. That is, the person who physically puts fingers to the keyboard and types out the sequence of
words and symbols that constitutes a line of software code is the "author" and owns the copyright to
the code. A copy-right is created by federal law and consists of six rights the owner of a "work" has to
the exclusion of any other person or business. Four of these rights are applicable to software code.
Those are:
The basic rule is subject to several exceptions. In the software world, there are three exceptions so
common they swallow the rule. A more nuanced and practical understanding of the role of copyright in
re-usable code requires as much understanding of the exceptions as the basic rules. The three
exceptions to the basic rule of copyright ownership most prevalent in the context of software
development are the "work-made-for-hire" rule, the "License or Assignment" clause in a development
contract, and the unique situation encountered when developing on an "Open Source" platform.
The "work-made-for-hire" doctrine generally defines the relationship between a software developer and
his or her client.
b) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as [1] a contribution to a collective work, [2] as a
part of a motion picture or [3] other audiovisual work, [4] as a translation, [5] as a supplementary work,
[6] as a compilation, [7] as an instructional text, [8] as a test, [9] as answer material for a test, or [10] as
an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be
considered a work made for hire.
In either situation, the author of the code does not own the copyright in the code, as would be expected
under the basic copyright framework. Rather, the person or business that employs the author or that
commissioned the software owns the copyright in the code.
When a developer creates software as an employee, determining ownership of that software under the
"work-made-for-hire" rule is relatively straightforward. Any work a developer creates within the scope
of his or her employment is owned by the employer. Analysis of whether work is "within the scope of
employment" can be extremely complex. However, at its most basic, if a developer writes a particular
piece of software for work, his or her employer owns the copyright to that software.
When a developer creates software as a contractor, analyzing who owns the copyright in code created
as a result of that relationship becomes both more complex and more important. Courts and legal
analysts use a three-part test to determine whether the developer or the client owns a particular
segment or module of code. First, the work must have been specially ordered or commissioned. Second,
the work must specifically fall within one of the ten categories enumerated in part (b) of the "work-
made-for-hire" rule. If the work at issue does not fall within one of the enumerated categories, it cannot
ever be a "work-made-for-hire." Almost all software code is consumer-facing code and will fall under
category three, audio-visual work, although some software without a human-readable interface may not
fall under any of the ten enumerated categories. Third, and most significant, a commissioned and
copyrightable work will only be considered "work-made-for-hire" owned by the client if the parties have
a written agreement signed by the developer that explicitly states that the work is "work-made-for-
hire."
If a particular piece of software is a "work-made-for-hire," the employer or client that commissioned the
code owns the copyright in it. In order for the developer to have any right to use the software later or in
different projects, the developer must negotiate a license to the software in the same way any third-
party would.
The original author or any other owner can also transfer or share copyright rights to or with others
through an assignment of the copyright or a license of the copyright. These two concepts should not be
confused. An assignment is a grant of all of the rights of the author in the copyright to another party. If
the developer assigns his rights to code he or she has written, the developer no longer has any right to
the code, and must license the code from the new owner to have the right to re-use it. Additionally, for
an assignment to be binding, it must be made in writing, and must be signed by the developer. Any
alleged verbal assignment of copyright rights will be considered a license of those rights and not an
assignment.
A license, in contrast, is a grant of permission to use the code without giving up ownership of the code.
If assigning copyright in software is like selling your house, licensing copyrighted software is like renting
your house. A license can range from a mere right to use the software, module, script, or class in the
completed software, to granting rights to re-write the software or create derivative software from it, all
the way up to all of the rights to the code that the original creator has. A license can be exclusive in the
sense that the author agrees not to license the code to anyone else in a particular geographic region,
industry, for a period of time, or at all, or it can be non-exclusive in the sense that the licensee is only
one of several concurrent licensees, each with the same or overlapping rights. Importantly, the terms of
licenses are interpreted according to the contract rules of your local jurisdiction. Therefore it is
extremely important that the parties understand exactly what they are agreeing to before coming to an
agreement.
Licenses and assignments are the two building blocks of software development agreements, and should
be a part of every software development contract. If software is not a work-made-for-hire, or the
software copyright is not either expressly assigned to the client or licensed to the client at the end of the
development project, then the client will infringe the developer's copyrights in the code every time the
client uses that code. Therefore, every well written software development contract will contain a clause
designating the code a work-made-for-hire, assigning the code to the client on completion, or granting
the client a license to use the code on completion.

Difficulties in the Manual Inventory System
The current system operates manual inventory system, from stocks, products, ordering and purchases etc
recorded in a book. This is faced with errors, incompleteness, and insufficient data for analysis.
Information regarding stocks, products, sales and purchases are still in black and white which is not
properly organized and managed. From the wholesalers to retailer bills, tickets, vouchers, receipts of
products are recorded in a book but further operations are not being properly handled. As a result it is
difficult in processing, updating and managing. The factors for these difficulties are:
1. Time Consumption: Manual inventory systems are time consuming, as the business owner must keep
track of inventory sales on a daily basis, while updating the system manually at the end of the day.
2. Poor Communication: A manual inventory requires employees and managers to write down each time
an item is removed from the inventory. If one employee forgets to mention that the last coffee product has
been removed from the inventory, a manager expects the item to still be available for a customer during a
sale. Compared with a technical inventory system, a manual inventory system does not help the
communication in the workplace.
3. Physical Counts: A manual inventory system does not provide any number, as all numbers from the
inventory are gained through physical inventory counts. One of the difficulties of running a manual
inventory system is that physical inventory counts must be performed frequently to control the items in
the inventory. This is time consuming and can cost the business money, if employees must come in to
help out outside of business hours.
4. Daily Purchases: Keeping track of daily purchases is another difficult controlling measure with manual
inventory systems. A manual inventory system requires the employees to write down the items sold
during a single work day. This can be a difficult task, as one employee may lose the list of items sold or
another may forget to write down a sale.
5. Ordering Supplies: A manual inventory system does not update at the end of the day with updated
inventor
Computerized inventory informs employees and customers within seconds whether an item is in stock.
Because the inventory is synced with sales, there is a running tally of what is in stock and what isn't.
This helps flag reordering needs and provides better service to customers. As inventory drops below a
specific threshold, new orders are placed with vendors and tracked to let customers know when the new
products will arrive.
Many of the computerized inventory platforms integrate with accounting software to track cash
flow. This makes the process of transferring inventory costs and assets between programs seamless and
reduces the need for additional bookkeeping costs. Financial statements are more easily generated with
shared data between inventory and bookkeeping
Inventory management software does more than track where inventory is located and when to reorder
it. A data collection system is used to create needed forecasting and strategic planning reports.
Business owners review trends regarding which products do well in certain months or during specific
cyclical seasons. Business owners use this data to plan for growth and order inventory intelligently to
best utilize cash flow resources.
One of the biggest problems with any computerized system is the potential for a system crash. A
corrupt hard drive, power outages and other technical issues can result in the loss of needed data. At the
least, businesses are interrupted when they are unable to access data they need. Business owners should
back up data regularly to protect against data loss.
Hackers look for any way to get company or consumer information. An inventory system connected to
point-of-sale devices and accounting is a valuable resource to hack into in search of potential
financial information or personal details of owners, vendors or clients. Updating firewalls and anti-
virus software can mitigate this potential issue.
When everything is automated, it is easy to forego time-consuming physical inventory audits. They
may no longer seem necessary when the computers are doing their work. However, it is important to
continue to do regular audits to identify loss such as spoilage or breakage. Audits also help business
owners identify potential internal theft and manipulation of the computerized inventory system.
Criterion Yes/No
Is the level of language that the program offers clearly indicated?
Is it easy to start the program?
Are icons that are used to assist navigation (e.g. back to the homepage,
exit) clear and intelligible?
Is it always clear to the learner which point s/he has reached in the
program?
Does the program include scoring?
Opinion/Comment
Having difficulty of building the system and many changes due to the No. 1 factor that
caused software projects to become challenged was "Lack of User Input". The owner of
milktea shop often have new way of changing the process that will affect the whole
development and the people behind him have different way of executing the process
The system is being promoted by the management and so the business users
have no buy-in
The users are too busy and have “more important” things to do
Relations between the user community and the I.T. team are poor
User don’t have knowledge in using system due to the limited training conducted
by the owner and the researcher
Without the involvement and input of a user representative the project is doomed to
failure. This person should be a subject domain expert with the authority to make
decisions and a commitment to the project timescales.
So assuming there is good user input then the challenge of translating requirements
into a design begins.
Recommendation
You’ll want to make sure that you’re using the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that apply specifically
to your unique business sector, but in general, you should be able to answer the following questions after
your analysis:
Are there items your customers frequently demand that are consistently out of stock? While
creating a demand for your bestsellers is important, every customer you turn away is a lost sale. By
understanding which of your products are your customers’ most wanted, you’re able to effectively
adjust your orders to match their needs.
What are your overall costs due to an excessive stock of particular items? If you’ve ever had
a product sit on the shelves for weeks or even months at a time, you know how frustrating it is to open
a new inventory shipment and realize you accidentally re-ordered a poor performer. Not only will that
product be harder to sell, but your money is also further tied up in that stock when it could be used
elsewhere.
How much time do you spend maintaining your inventory system? This will vary wildly
depending on if you have a barcoding system in place or are still relying on manual pricing stickers.
However, if your answer to this is “not much time at all,” you probably need to rethink your approach
to your inventory.
What level of sales data do you get out of your inventory system? If you’re still relying on
trusty pen and paper method, you’re probably not receiving much insight, if any, from analyzing
inventory trends. Understanding your sales data on a deeper level helps you adjust your inventory in
real-time and saves you money while you do it.
How easy is your reordering and restocking process? Can you set up automated inventory
alerts to trigger an order? Imagine the ease of your stock being handled for you. No more pacing the
back room with a clipboard trying to get an accurate tally of each product. No more phone calls to
your distributor. No more clumsy online order forms. Sounds nice, doesn’t it?
And if you really want to get ahead: how does your inventory process stack up against your competition?
This is one area where you not only want to “keep up with the Joneses”, but to surpass them in terms of
inventory management and efficiencies. If your funds aren’t tied up in common inventory mishaps,
you’re able to spend more money on gaining that precious competitive edge. After you have taken a deep
dive into how your current inventory process works and how it holds up against other small businesses,
then you have a better opportunity to improve how your business functions.
When running a retail shop, you are faced with a multitude of choices in your typical day-to-day.
Reducing the amount of time spent on inventory control, while increasing the cost-effectiveness of
precise stock management is an easy one for any of us to make. But with hundreds of inventory
management solutions out there, getting help to make the correct choice for is crucial for yourself and
your business. Luckily, the choice is clearer than you might think.
