Abstract

Effective management of items within a warehouse environment is crucial for optimizing operations, maintaining accurate inventory, and maximizing productivity. A well-designed warehouse management system (WMS) plays a vital role in achieving these objectives. This research paper focuses on the development of a warehouse management system (WMS) that efficiently controls and manages items within a warehouse setting. The study employs both interview and prototype methodologies to gather requirements and design a practical solution. By conducting in-depth interviews with warehouse managers and staff, valuable insights into their pain points, existing systems, and desired features for an improved WMS were obtained. A prototype WMS was created using a user-centered design approach, incorporating functionalities such as automated data capture, inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and reporting features. The developed WMS prototype was tested and refined through feedback sessions and usability testing with warehouse personnel, leading to improved operational efficiency, inventory accuracy, and user satisfaction. Overall, this research contributes to the field of warehouse management by providing a user-centric approach to designing and implementing an effective WMS
