Project Details:
Habitat for Humanity needs a computer system to improve the utilization of the items in the warehouse. The system shall support the following features at a minimum.
- When items are received at the warehouse, their descriptions, quantity, and storage location within the warehouse will be entered into the inventory records, along with the date.
- When items are removed from the warehouse, the inventory records will be marked to indicate this fact, along with the date. The system will maintain a history of items.
- When planning a project, a project leader can use the system to reserve materials that are currently in the warehouse. The system shall prevent conflicting reservations.
- The system shall generate inventory reports for project leaders and the organization’s management.
Purpose: The purpose of the project is to provide students the opportunity to combine previous knowledge and skills with the knowledge and skills learned in this course and apply them to a real-world application. Habitat for Humanity is a charitable organization that builds homes for poor families. Materials are donated by businesses and individuals in the community; and labor is contributed by volunteers. Habitat for Humanity is staffed by volunteers who have a wide range of technical skill levels. Habitat for Humanity has a warehouse for storage of building materials and home furnishings that will be used in their projects. Currently, there are no written records of what is in the warehouse. When planning a project, a project leader walks around the warehouse looking for useful items. These items are either gathered together in one place or tagged for later pickup.
