REAL-TIME FABRIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract: Textile and garment industries need effective inventory management systems to help them smoothen the production processes and in order to avoid shortage of materials. The conventional fabric management systems like manual registers and spreadsheets usually lead to human errors, slowness in updating and inaccurate records of stock. These problems can cause the delay in production and losses. In an attempt to eliminate these shortcomings, this paper will present a proposal of the Real-Time Fabric Management System, which is software-driven solution that will be used to mechanize the processes of fabric inventory. The system captures fabric information including type, color, length and quality of the fabric and stores the same in a centralized database. It constantly updates the stock information in real time with the addition of fabric, its issuance, or its return so that all stock is monitored and with better transparency assured. It allows managing fabric flow and making decisions in a more informed way by giving the user-friendly interface to be used by managers and staff to monitor the flow of fabric.
