System Vision Documentation for Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System:
A Vision document demonstrated the compelling ideas, projects or additional future stat for
any specific service, product and organizations. In the following study, the case of Auto-Parts
Warehouse Management System, for business in Australia is considered. The present system is
unable to control the largely dynamic processes. It is helpful to store and move the inventory with
the least cost and peak efficiency. The business system analyst for the project has intended to
propose the following system vision document.
Problem description:
It is witnessed that the warehouse management system is devoid of the capability to control a
huge dynamic process. The stocks are always stored in the proper place. Here, a breakdown of
accuracy or tracking of goods that are needed to be traced in various sectors. Besides, there is
improper receipts and purchasing of orders. As the recoded gets recorded through the manual
tracking systems, there is a lack of verification of accuracy. As the data is recorded through the
manual tracking system, there is a lack of verification for accuracy. There is a lack of proper training
for the warehouse staffs for handling errors originating from other departments. There is a lack of
ability to store and move the inventory towards efficiencies with minimum cost. It is seen that the
process of the system has been redundant. Here, repeating of a similar process has been found to be
ending up with the rise of labor costs. Moreover, there is a lack of adequate functionality applicable
across every central warehouse processes. Besides, there is no way to transform the warehouse to
completive advantage.

System Description:
The System must develop the following tools and measures. Firstly, there is inventory
control. It is the activity to check the stock of the shop. Next, there should be suitable order load
management. This is also known as DSM or demand-side management or the method to balance the
supply of electricity on the network having the electrical load. This is through controlling and
adjusting the load instead of the output of power station. Apart from this, various wireless
communication devices are also required to be implemented here. Firstly, the mobile communication
system is to be considered. Next, a W-Fi connection must be deployed. This can be helpful as it is of
low power. Further, it can be utilized through different electronic devices such as laptops and
phones. This can be helpful for the users to inter-connect just under near proximity of the router.
Besides, it can also afford the portability in a wireless way. Further, there should be microwave
communication.
Business benefits:
The above extensive systems functions are expected to develop the warehouse operations.
This is through rising productivity and minimizing expenses. The redundant process deployed that
cut down on the time that it considers fulfilling the order. This is through using the system for
managing the purchasing orders providing the relevant data. Apart from this, a more helpful online-
cloud based software of cloud management can bring higher transparent and accuracy for the
complete warehouse operation. Further, the wireless system suggested can allow users to access
more network resources. This from any convenient area under the basic environment of networking.
Regarding mobility, this can also help the users to access the Intent even external the common
working environment. As far as productivity is considered, this indicates that the staffs can
potentially be more productive as the tasks are accomplished from any convenient area. On the other
hand, regarding deployment, there must be additional complexity and cost of the real physical able

to be run on numerous areas. For expandability, the potentially developed cost can prove to be more
outweighed as per labor and cost related to run the physical costs.
It has seen that the warehouse has been experiencing concerns regarding warehouse
management. Hence, the rest part is assured in the fact the current business is not the only one. It is
understood that there are various factors impacting the easy operations of warehouse management.
The areas of mitigation are understood from the above system vision document to consider and
estimate the various details ending to eradicate unforeseen issues. Besides, this document is helpful
to manage the warehouse successfully, to perform efficiently and reliably that can prove to be a huge
asset for the business.
