ABSTRACT

 Computer has tremendously penetrated into every field of life.  It makes work flow very easy.  Interesting and result oriented.  Bill of material is not left out.

This project work researched into the area of billing of material as it concerns the Nigerian Breweries Plc it looked into the activities involved in looking and purchases of end-products by customers and the conveyance of such product to their destination by the responsible state.  The problems currently eroding.  The existing system were detected and analyzed; possible solutions were proffered in the new computerized design.

  The new computerized design is very comprehensive and on-line.  It maintain adequate records of the breweries distributors, their account status and nature of lifting and products (malt, beer, minerals) it automatically handles booking of specified quantity and generates prompt result on the ball of material statistics of such customers.  The new system is friendly, easy to use, accurate in report generation and very versatile.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  In the course of a convenience and comfortable business transaction, difference policies are put up and fully implemented to make customers feel at home and have confidence in their dealings with other trade partners more especially in a competitive market where every producer or manufacture is struggling to draw as more customers as possible.

One of these measures so to say is the BILL OF MATERIAL policy with this policy, customers can comfortable buy their goods or even book their goods and go about their business while necessary arrangement are made by the supply company for safe delivery of the purchased goods to their customers place of business.  This gives a lot of confidence to the customers, and it equally saves time for the customers, where it is always said that time is money.

This   BILL OF  MATERIAL policy is a very thought out idea in business transaction bearing in mind that business men suffer a lot trying to convey their purchased goods to their business places.  This takes many time and energy which are the factors a businessman need not complement in business success.

Nigeria breweries as a giant brewing company in the century knows how best to treat its customers and that is why it has an outstanding BILL OF MATERIALS policy.  In buying products from Nigeria breweries, you need not trouble yourself on how the goods will get to your place of business;  all you need to do is to pay for the goods and go about your other business before you knew it, the goods are already at your door.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

BILL OF MATERIAL is always visible in every firm that wants to maintain in large a large number of customers, but to many, it is not easy, it has its ups and downs.

The bill of material processing system finds in extremely difficult to maintain records due to the manual system they are still using.  It is always very difficult of the Nigerian Breweries to produce accurate record of whom to attend to first.

Another major problem is encountered when the products are rather booked by the customers. Maintenance of goods and detection on how the customers will be attended to poses a very big knot to crack.

New carriers find it very difficult to locate places where the goods should be delivered due to lack of computerized city maps.

Effective record maintenance of the customers and their business status with the firm poses approach towards handing the BILL OF MATERIAL processing system operations has been taken to a lot of problems.

AIMS/OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The primary aim of this study is to solve the problems associated with way bill in companies by designing a very reliable computerized system that will tackle the policy implementation.

The objectives include:

1.  To develop a system that will be user friendly.

2.    To effectively manage customers business record status.

3.   To always generate accurate and timely report on bill of material status for quick and effective decision taking by the management.

4.  To develop a system that will automatically guide the goods carries on delivery points through computerized city maps.

5.   To develop a system that will be easily modified in the case of any change at any time.
