Abstract

Inventory control and management are a core in assessing operational efficiencies of organisations. Reasons being that, understocking, overstocking, out-of-stock, material theft, and delivery delays hampers operations of organizations like educational institutions. In developing economies, there is still slow and little adoption of advanced technologies in the services rendered by warehouses of organization including quantity of items held, monitored, recorded and tracked, which are performed manually causing large delays in processing inventory, inaccuracies and inconsistencies of stock records, duplication of stock requests, slow or delays in processing inventories. These renewed the calls among researchers as to the need to properly and securely maintain and control inflows and outflows of items, materials and equipment necessary for effective learning and experiences of the learners. To this end, this paper developed an academic warehouse inventory management system for effective services delivery and prompt responses to needs of the educational institutions. The prototype system was developed using HTML, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL database web programming tools. This offers better speed, accuracy, and security of inventory control and management when compared to manual approach currently in use.
