Web-Based Goods Inventory Information System Using the Rapid Application Development Method (Case Study: SMK Fatahillah Cileungsi Bogor)

Abstract

Inventory management at SMK Fatahillah Cileungsi Bogor is not yet supported by an integrated information system, so the process of recording incoming and outgoing goods has not been running optimally. This condition causes difficulties in data management, increases the risk of inventory information discrepancies, and limitations in monitoring real-time availability of goods. This study aims to design and implement a web-based inventory information system that is able to automate and centralize school asset management. The system development method used is Rapid Application Development (RAD), which includes the stages of requirements planning, system design, prototype construction, testing, and implementation. The developed system provides features for managing master data on goods, user management, recording incoming and outgoing goods transactions, borrowing and returning goods, and automatic generation of inventory reports. Test results show that the system can function well according to user needs. The implementation of this web-based information system has been proven to be able to improve data accuracy, accelerate the information search process, and optimize the effectiveness of asset management at SMK Fatahillah Cileungsi Bogor.
