ADT Inventory Management Solutions
ADT provides commercial and residential digital security, fire, and alarm monitoring services in over 35 countries. The organization has earned a large market share to the point where they cannot facilitate all of their customers’ needs. According to ADT (2013), the company’s official website states that, “ADT has been protecting America for over 135 years, and lead the industry in experience and guarantees”. The current inventory management system in place requires managers to manually-count products as they come in, store the product in any space available, and search specific products when needed. The shipping and receiving systems do not communicate with the inventory system, which causes issues when it comes to getting customers what they need in a timely manner.
The Inventory Management System Project will outline the objectives and constraints within the project. The project charter is a tool used to improve the project management process, and defines the process used to provide solutions to business problems.
The primary beneficiaries of the solutions developed through this project are:
• Stakeholders
• End Users
Purpose of the Project
Currently the organization is having issues regarding tracking inventory, shipping and receiving, and maintaining inventory levels. There are too many mistakes made due to the different systems in the inventory department and the shipping and receiving department. The importation of products is an extremely long process. Tracking inventory is difficult because data is recorded manually at the end of the day.
Assumptions
• Importing and exporting product should become efficient and effective
• Inventory and shipping departments will use the system that updates in real time.
• Fewer personnel to process in-coming and out-going orders
• Increase in productivity and
