Decision Support Functions for the Retail Operations Management System.

Abstract

The Retail Operations Management (ROM) System is an interactive computer program designed to automate the recordskeeping and report generation functions associated with ships stores afloat. This thesis project was an effort to (1) identify decision support functions and other tasks that could be performed by the ROM System; (2) develop algorithms to execute these functions within the constraints of the existing database and operating environment; and (3) document these new features in a format that will facilitate their programming and implementation. The resulting system enhancements include computation of future demand, stock limits, and reorder quantities, and automated preparation of purchase orders, excess stock lists, and comprehensive management reports.
