The development of pharmacy inventory management system for Mediwell Farmasi Jasin / Muhammad Izzuddin Mohd Jaleel

The pharmacy inventory management system is now one of the most significant tools to manage the medical shop. It is mostly used to manage pharmacy-related activities such as medical inventory, record keeping as well as managing medicine stock and information of the expired medicines. The study area for this project is in Mediwell Farmasi Jasin, Melaka. Currently, this pharmacy is operating manually for certain activities and using an old version of the computerized inventory management system, they do not have sufficient software to manage their daily activities. It requires a pharmacist to verify the expired date of the medicine two times a week, to monitor the stocks of medicine that are at the re-order inventory limits, and it may take a long time to determine whether a certain medicine is out of stock. To decrease these issues, a computerized web-based system is created to help speed up daily operations. The aim of this project is to develop a web-based system for Mediwell Farmasi Jasin. The objectives of this project are to gather and analyze the requirements from stakeholder, to design the system based on analyzed requirements and lastly to develop the system. This project is intended to solve all the difficulties relating to the handling of the medication and to enhance the precision, security, and effectiveness of the pharmaceutical shop. The system was developed using three out of five waterfall methodology stages which are gathering requirements and analysis, system design and implementation. In the first stage, the interview session was performed to collect data. All the requirements and related diagram in this phase are documented in the Software Requirement System (SRS). Detailed class diagrams, package diagrams, and multilayer sequence diagrams were designed during the system design stage. This project has its own significance for the Jasin retail pharmacy stores. By using this system, it will help them to records all pharmacist, supplier, balance stock, medicine information, etc. The system also provides the notification function to inform the pharmacist of the expiry date of the medicine and the minimum amount of inventory drugs. In fact, this proposed system will also enhance the efficiency of the pharmacy of the business process by minimizing the danger of loss of data.
