Freight Management System - Core 1: Booking, Purchase Order Management, House and Master Airway Bill of Lading, Consolidation and Deconsolidation and Shipment Files

Abstract

Freight Management System is the complete solution for any transport business by automating and simplifying both importing and exporting process complexity. There are several problems identified when using the manual Freight Management System. The current system has redundancy, where data cause by the manual system which uses paper to fill the information. Information lost is common by using manual system. For the solution of the problems, Freight Management System (FMS) is developed to manage the operational of the transportation in matter of booking process.The methodology used in this project was the Agile Methodology. It is an approach to software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross functional teams and to customer/end user where we appoint a product owner. Researchers also assigns a development team headed by a Scrum Master to coordinate the team members and drive the process smoothly. The development process is split into short (2-3 weeks) incremental iterations (so-called sprints) aimed at delivering a potentially shippable product at the end of each cycle. The Product Owner and the development team use sprint planning meetings to discuss the results of the previous sprint, create a sprint backlog and update the product backlog. The development team concludes a result in this study the knowledge will be only provided by the development team to know a better process and make a good process for each module of a Core 1 of Freight Management System and by the help of Agile Methodology the development team reaches out the solution of this study. The proponents of Core 1 is planning, implementing, and controlling procedures for the efficient and effective core transaction for shipping of packages from booking to the shipping of the package in every destination. Booking provide a fast transaction for package shipping, Purchase order management ensure the total cost of the package, House and Master Airway bill of lading implement good policies that can be credible from the airlines and customs, Consolidation and Deconsolidation offer lower shipping cost and to amplify shipping security, Shipment File ensure that the files are safe valuable on making transaction with the consignee.
