| description | Inventory management is a prime task for an organization to achieve its goals of maintaining appropriate level
of inventory and minimizing waste. A web-based system of managing inventory in a university setting is
expected to help various laboratories keep an update on the status of their tools and equipment. In this study, a
model is presented for putting a web-based inventory system in place in five different laboratories of an
Engineering Department in a large public university in Malaysia. In designing such a system, PHP has been
employed as a development language and MySQL as a backend database with CSS implemented for the
interface. Two screen-shots have been illustrated to offer a glimpse of the proposed web-based system and its
applications. This online system would help the personnel in charge of the laboratories find out the capacity of
the labs as well as the relevant information of asset availability, and replace the current practice of extensive
manual recording of asset documentation thus holding a key for an organization like university to gaining
competitive advantage through efficient operational performance.
