Perky Pies Case Study

Recommendations

Based on our findings, Perky Pies should implement the Radio Frequency Identification technology. The RFID has the function to trace inventory and manage. Basically, the RFID has the ability to read coded information through radio waves. RFID also has the characteristic of simplifying task like scanning, tagging and tracking (Ken, 2012). RFID has been involved in our daily lives without us knowing. For instance, going to the any shopping there will definitely have the RFID Technology even university as well. This can be seen at the entrance of every library whereby there is a RFID reader machines. The RFID has become so common in our daily lives and it is a must as it simplify task.

Furthermore, the RFID also work as a tracking

As long it can maintain the operation of the business then is fairly good enough. However, upgrade would be necessary in time to time comes. Under the System specification it consists of 5 elements such as hardware, software, people, procedure and data. However, the importance one is the people, procedure and date.

One of the major elements in the system specification would be people. The people who used the system must possess a certain degree of knowledge in computers. However, Perky pies could also provide training for the employees so that they know the system operates. Perky Pies should also raise awareness about it so that employees understand that there is a need for change. It is very crucial for the employees to know how the system operates as it would make the job easier if they knew how it works. It will also help them keep track on all the deliver status and stock

The second elements would be procedure. Perky pies should create new procedure after implementing the new system so that it could guide the business with right strategy. For instance, they should label a bar code on all the pies that were kept at the warehouse so that they keep track on how much pie were taken out for delivery. For instance one of the biggest retailer wall Mart used that technology to track its merchandise and because of the system, they manage to control their inventories more efficiently (Paula,

In the situation of Perky Pies data is divided into two parts which is the upstream represent as suppliers and the downstream represent as branches. Perky Pies need to ensure that the upstream information is all up to date so it can prevent situation like running out of supplies. On the other hand, the Downstream is basically branch order and sales details. Perky Pies should gather the data more efficiently so that it can avoid stock from delaying to the
