 Project

 Proposal

Fairmart

 Superstore

 (FS)

 presently

 relies

 on

 a

 basic

 database,

 and

 inventory

 as

 well

 as

 employees’

 working

 hours

 are

  tracked

 and

 handled

 manually

 on

 an

 ad-­‐hoc

 basis,

 based

 on

 managers’

 experience. Our

 project

 aims

 to

 help

 neighborhood

 convenience

 stores

 to

 make

 informed

 decisions,

 reduce

 manual

 efforts

 when

  handling

 internal

 administraDve

 maEers,

 to

 maximize

 the

 use

 of

 resources

 to

 increase

 profits.

Problems:

Presently,

 the

 monthly

 roster

 is

 done

 up

 manually

 by

 the

 manager

 on

 a

 monthly

  basis.

 If

 any

 employees

 are

 unable

 to

 meet

 their

 allocated

 shiL,

 they

 will

 inform

  the

 manager

 who

 will

 have

 to

 reshuffle

 the

 roster

 manually. AddiDonally,

 wages

 are

 calculated

 manually

 by

 an

 administraDve

 staff

 at

 the

 end

  of

 each

 month,

 using

 Dme-­‐sheets

 compiled

 from

 the

 staff. The

 minimart

 presently

 breaks

 down

 sales

 into

 categories

 (e.g.

 Beverages,

  Chocolates,

 Sweets,

 etc),

 and

 summarizes

 the

 day’s

 sales

 at

 the

 end

 of

 each

 day.

  As

 such,

 sales

 cannot

 be

 tracked,

 and

 managers

 are

 unable

 to

 determine

 which

  goods

 are

 contribuDng

 to

 the

 minimart’s

 profits,

 as

 well

 as

 how

 much

 goods

 to

  restock

 from

 Dme-­‐to-­‐Dme. Goods

 are

 restocked

 on

 an

 irregular

 basis

 based

 on

 managers’

 surveying

 of

 the

  stock

 on

 hand
