Objective
This project proposes to design and develop a low cost multimedia information system (SHOEPRIS) to improve the efficiency and speed in presenting a new shoe collection to the market. The SHOEPRIS system will be highly flexible and user friendly so that any footwear company will be able to take a more efficient approach to its presentation methods of new shoe designs and styles. This should reduce cost of samples storage, transport and dispatch, maximise the accessibility speed and accuracy to shoe samples technical and commercial data, and increase sales and production forecast and hence minimise inventory investment in raw material (leather, soles, heels etc.) and finished shoes stock. The system will be developed for use by people with no or little computer skills. It will be adaptable in order that new developments (interactive multimedia infokiosk) may be accommodated as they evolve with fashion and technology. This will ensure that the system will be adaptable for a variety of individual company needs. After the end of the project additional implementation tests at the premises of end users will be undertaken to have the multimedia information system sufficiently reliable and user friendly to function under pragmatic circumstances. This should lead to a marketable system after the completion of these activities. Although the information held by the system will be separate it will be also compatible with other potential computer application in use (CAD, costing and planning system etc.).
