Development of Application Software for Management of Industrial Organization: A Study of Millennium Industries Ltd.

Summary

Millennium Industries Limited and many other companies have the problem of streamlining their business processes,
integrating their business units, and providing organizational members with greater access to real-time information. Most
organizations make use of standalone software applications to run their various departmental functions, such as Human
Resources, Finance, Manufacturing, Warehouse Management, Logistics etc. These various standalone software
applications cannot communicate with each other. All these problems and more can be resolved with an application
software called business solution software (BSS) system. This dissertation presents a solution for standardizing an
organization’s operation, leveraging all processes across the organization at an optimized cost by using BSS system
framework. BSS is an integrated set of programs that provide support for core organizational activities such as
manufacturing and logistics, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, and human resources. It is expected to be a
commercial-off the-shelf type of software developed using an incremental process model by carrying out the basic
software development practices. It is also documented. It is coded using Personal Homepage Hypertext Preprocessor
(PHP) programming language. The result of this research is a software that can be used by Millennium Industries limited
to increase speed and performance of business processes and lower cost by about 50% as they run their business. It can
also be used by other small and medium scale enterprises, and even bigger organizations, such as manufacturing
companies, etc, rather than using numerous standalone applications. The BSS system developed in this research can be a
vital strategic tool in today’s competitive business environment.
