Process monitoring and inventory management in plastic injection molding

Abstract

The aim of this research is to design and develop a software application to solve the problems that actually occur in the production and stock management processes of plastic molding injection. The application was developed using web pages that work together with a database. The user can check the current status of production process and stock inventory through a web browser of any Local Area Network (LAN) connected computer. This can reduce steps and time to communicate within the organization. The application development tools include MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and MySQL database, which are freeware that help reduce the organization's cost.
