Pengembangan Sistem Informasi Manajemen Persediaan Berbasis Web Pada Toko Istana Plastik Manado

Abstract

Inventory management can help store owners manage their product inventory over time. This is
important to avoid the potential for stock shortages which could give the impression of the shop
owner's inability to meet consumer demand. In this regard, the owner of the Toko Istana Plastik
Manado Store aware of the need to migrate from traditional inventory management to information
technology-based inventory management. It is hoped that with this migration, manual practices
such as recording stock using books and collecting data on daily sales transactions using Microsoft
Excel worksheets, can be integrated. Apart from that, differences between the stock of goods in the
warehouse and the inventory records can be avoided. In other words, documentation of goods
entering and exiting the warehouse and in the store is neat and the information provided has much
higher accuracy. The proposed solution is an integrated inventory management information
system between warehouses and stores. This proposed information system can also help with daily
operational activities including selling and purchasing goods. With this information system, it is
hoped that safety stock conditions can be achieved to anticipate indirect losses due to lack of stock.
The research was conducted using qualitative research methodology. Meanwhile, system
development follows the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology, especially the
Prototyping method. The results of testing using the black-box method show that the web-based
inventory management information system that was built can provide more accurate information
on goods in and out than the manual system. For further development, this system can be equipped
with features providing stock status information through the creation of an online shop as well as
instant notifications for warehouse managers regarding requests for goods from store managers.
