Information system for small-scale apparel industries

Abstract

Use of software based management systems for internal operations within firms has been a successful step in many organizations today to maximize their efficiency, accuracy and transparency, leading to their major business goal of profit maximization. In today’s business world, huge amounts of capital are invested on buying and maintaining software based systems due to this reason. Yet, there are small scale industrial firms which could gain a higher performance by the introduction of IT solutions but are reluctant due to high expenses and complexity of these systems. This paper proposes on introducing such a management system for a specific Batik garment factory— Lekha Batik Garment Factory Management System (LB-GMS) which took into account the problem of creating simple and efficient management systems for small-scale firms.
