THE
FLOORING
SHOP
Introduction
Through its well design and modern 4,000 sq ft showroom located in the heart of the commercial area
of the capital, Batimex offers a wide range of international up-market brands in laminate flooring.
Established in 1992, Batimex has expanded its activities from installation to delivery. The shop is
operated by approximately 25 employees, 10 of whom concentrated on the services like delivery and
installation. It is concerned with the ordering of goods, receipt and credit of payment and inventory
storage.
Problem Definition
Despite several recent procedural changes, problem still exist for ordering process that indicate the
need for further, more dramatic changes in the current system. The main problems center around the
present manual record-keeping procedures. All filing and record-keeping are done manually by several
employees. For instance, both customer inquiries and payment slips are stored in physical paper files
under data indexes. Consequently, documents are easily lost or misfiled. This also reduces the ability to
respond to customer inquiries. The enormous volume of paper work generates inefficiency an
disorganization. As the department is going to enlarge and the nature of manual work is so tedious, the
potential for errors is great. As stated by one employee, “the idea of future growth under this system is
frightening.”
Goals and Consideration
The manger is considering a computer installation for sales ordering process and inventory control also.
It will provide an online update of the inventory. This area is extremely important to make sure that as
goods are sold, they are deleted from the inventory file. At the same time, the system will generate
orders to replenish stock goods and show the dates of arrival.
