Material Company Background National Booksellers, Inc. (NBI) is a national distributor of books, DVDs, CDs, PC games, Console games, books on cd, etc… for publishers, game companies, and large distributors. They currently market their merchandise to bookstores, computer stores, and other retailers. However, they would like to expand their market and begin selling to anyone who wants their products and develop an e-commerce presence which would allow them to market individual consumers directly. NBI has a single warehouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan where the company headquarters is also located. NBI plans to implement a second warehouse in Ann Arbor, Michigan soon. The company employs 100 drivers and owns 150 trucks used to deliver merchandise. Recently, a large retail chain agreed to purchase merchandise from them if they could install a new information system that would communicate with their system within the next six months. The CEO of NBI, Fran Tidewell, has hired you to develop a set of deliverables (see below) to be used in an upcoming meeting with the board of directors. If the board of directors approves the project, NBI will proceed and put the new system in place. Fran has the utmost confidence in you and the future success of NBI rests in your hands. Assumptions 1. The new system should support the following business processes: Inventory and Warehousing, Order Processing, Distribution and Shipping, and Reporting. 2. The system should interface with a variety of existing corporate support systems and the executive information system. 3. The system should interface with various customer information systems for the purposes of automatic inventory management and reporting on a daily basis – for those customers desiring this service. 4. Fran has suggested that in order to reduce overall risk, we should parallel the new system with the old system for a minimum of two weeks before cutting over. 5. The system should allow consumers to order products directly. 6. The system should be flexible enough to accommodate any type of inventory in the future – not just books and magazines. 7. The system must be installed within 6 months from date of board approval. 8. The Grand Rapids warehouse will go on-line first. 9. The Ann Arbor warehouse will come on-line 3 months after Grand Rapids goes live.
