SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
Warehouse system has been one of the technologies that has been gaining high
acceptance among the supply chain managers. This report discusses about the strengths and
disadvantages of WMS. Proper difference in between the RUP and SCRUM is provided in
this report.
Discussion
The ware-house management system-(WMS) software offer businesses to monitor the
supply chain and manages the entire inventory operations from the whole seller to the
distributor [2]. The global project strategy and free-market strategy shaped our current
economy by creating various needs and demands for new customers. The WMS software
optimizes the fulfilment capabilities in order to meet their need, the business needs, and the
ability to fulfil to respond them quickly. It is reasonable that the ensuing to develop a system
makes the production faster, a better and cheaper way to increase the advantage and maintain
a competitive global market [4].
A cloud WMS provides the best of breed management capability for the warehouses
associated with a software as a services-(SAAS) model/prototype which helps to utilizing the
cloud technology over the enterprises [1]. The combination of variety of Auto ID technology
(ADC) along with deeply functionality, High-Jump Cloud Ware-house management and the
internet base architecture delivers a scalable, le flexible and powerful real time WMS.
Identify the strengths
Most of the organization develop a ware-house management software to automate and
streamline the inventory processes, which also control costs for the products. The proposed

system can be easily configurable, dynamic and robust which influencing the cloud for a cot
effective and the rapid implementation that comprehends the benefits are given below:
 Increasing the operational efficiency – The warehouse software managing fulfil the
operations evolved in the cloud, the supply chains managing a real time visibility for
the inventory and for the organizational operations, meeting with their customers and
makes them busy in purchasing along with the relevant WMS technology [5].
 Lower Cost – the Cloud based WMS software provides benefits to control costs
which engage more customer to the businesses. Also it reduces the maintaining cost
and the upgradation cost are lower for the system.
 Scalability - this makes the system software interactive so that it can be operated on
any we enabled computer without much time taking, the hardware setup and easily
and quickly deployed by other warehouses which provide support to expand the
business support growth.
 Rapid implementation - WMS with hosting, implementation and configuration all
provide supports to the vendors on regular basis.
 Improve the customer experience
 Identify the weaknesses of Cloud
The differences between the Rational Unified Process and Scrum methodologies
The differences in between Rational Unified Process and Scrum methodology can be
diversified in 5 major areas. The areas are namely the cycle that is used as per the
methodology that is being implemented, planning that is imposed, difference in scope
determination process is also observed, difference in artifacts are also observed in the
process. Type of the project that is to be completed is also considered as in the difference
proposing section.
