ABSTRACT

 Inventory management is a prime task for an organization to achieve its goals of maintaining appropriate level of inventory and minimizing waste. A web-based system of managing inventory in a company is expected to help the company keep an update on the products in stock. In this study, a model is presented for putting a web-based inventory system in place in Ruffus-Obi pharmaceuticals. In designing such a system, PHP has been employed as a development language and MySQL as a backend database with CSS implemented for the interface. This online system would help the personnel in charge of the pharmacy/chemist store find out the capacity of the store as well as the relevant information of asset availability, and replace the current practice of extensive manual recording of asset documentation thus holding a key for a company like RuffusObi to gaining competitive advantage through efficient operational performance.
