6.  Data is maintained across several Excel sheets.
◦ Ineffective.
◦ Inefficient.
 Work with several applications and files.
◦ Formula stored in Excel or OSM
◦ Formulation history is kept on paper and stored in racks.
◦ Customer data, mixing information, and reports are separate.
 Tracking each step individually causes more difficulties during formulation.
 Redundancy
 Prone to errors
 Manual entry
 Takes time
 Any investigation or reporting is difficult.
 No customer interaction.
 Single ink data management system.

7.  Automation
 No redundancy
 A lot more control (better control)
 Centralized management
 Clarity
 Reports
 Abbreviates processing time
◦ Orders
◦ Mixing
 Control of data -> influences the time.
 Customer interaction

8.  Simplest workflow for the Hewlett Packard Ink Mixing
System (HP IMS).
 Build Web-based data management system.
 Assist in providing information related to complaints
and requests.
 Develop a unified access to orders and colors.
 Manage customer inventories and requests.
 Get rid of extra paperwork.
 Process PDF orders.
 Record mixing data and report data points.
 Integrate packaging materials with the system (burning
CDs, printing labels, and shipping via Fedex).
 Lower the overall time of ink production.

9.  PHP/MySQL
 OOP
 Site template -> CMS
 Web-services:
◦ REST
◦ SOAP
 Fedex Web-services v10, WSDL
 Reporting (TCPDF)
