The project is aimed at finding out the problems in the information flow and as well as the crder tracking
in the textile industry, and to suggest a computer integrated information system model in order to rectify
the problems in information flow and to improve the way of order tracking.
The current status of information flow and the order tracking of the industry was studied in detail by using
information collected from varied sources .Different techniques such as interviewing the workers in
different departments of the organization, direct observing of the current system and collecting the related
documents from the industry and from the publications.
After analyzing the current system, it is found that the whole order tracking and the information flow
depend on one document called 'Route card', which consist of all the details of the order. Also it is found
that some of the main disadvantages of this process are misplacing data, inaccurate data and long
processing time to get information.
Finally, a new system is proposed mainly to overcome the major problem identified and to build and
improve the strong order tracking system for the industry. This model replaces the old traditional 'Route
card' to a Barcode which contain all the details of the order. Each workstation would have a barcode
scanner along with the PC and once the operator scanned the barcode, the system will automatically
generate all the necessary fields required by new route card and it will display on the monitor at the
particular workstation. All these data and details distributed among the departments using a Local Area
Networking system with Client Server Architecture
