EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The business plan is The Book-U Sdn.Bhd. Book-U businesses often concentrate on
a large firm or organization, but our book business will target the faculty and staff at
UiTM universities. This will make it simpler for people to find books with fair prices
and high quality.

Due to our lower price range compared to other book stores or businesses and the
fact that we also provide a book, we will be a popular option for university students
and lecturers.

We pay special attention to lecturers and students who actually require books as
references or as a component of their instruction. There is a significant amount of
demand in this area, and we have received favourable comments from prior clients to
support the future growth of this company.

3.0 PROJECT OUTLINE

3.1 Project statement and need

From this project, we have encountered some problems that we need to solve. The
problems are it is time consuming when certain books or past year’s questions paper are out
of stock or hard to find and it will take a long time to wait for the book’s stock when students
are ordering from the lecturer. This can make the learning experience difficult for students
and lecturers.

Secondly, we know that it is hard to buy books from different lecturers on different subjects
because there is no specific bookstore that has all the books needed.

Lastly, we have limitation of source because not all the books are in our university’s library
and if someone borrowed the books, students have to wait for them to be returned.
Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem.

0 0
3.2 Propose solution
To solve the problems that we have, we are going to make a dynamic website that has a
variation of books and past year’s question paper for students to search from different
vendors. This way it is more convenient and does not make the customer go through
unnecessary hassle.

Secondly, we added a feature where we can estimate the arrival of the books when they are
being delivered so that our customers won’t have to worry about not having the books on
time.

Moreover, we would develop an easy way to collect all the course books at one time without
buying them from various lecturers with different subjects. And lastly, we are going to
manage the order based on the subject systematically, so that it would be easier to find the
books, and the system would look more organized.

3.3 Scope of work

Introduction

Book-U is a company that sells educational books and past year’s question paper from
different vendors for students and lecturers from UiTM to buy. It was founded by Nurul
Syathirah and it is based in Kota Samarahan, Kuching, The company’s management team
consists of four students from CS110 Part 4 named Dalilah, Eizzie, Masturina and Aini. The
purpose of this business is to make it easy for students and lecturers to buy educational
books or past year’s question paper on the same website without having to go through a
different lecturer for different subjects, and so does for the lecturers. This can save time and
less hassle.

Project scope

For our project, the goals that we want to achieve are, we want our website to be considered
as the main source for students and lecturers to buy their educational books from. Therefore,
we can get more profit from the high traffic of users on our website that are buying from us.
Moreover, we want to help vendors that have difficulty finding customers, to build a place for
them to promote and sell their product.

deliverables

At the end of the project, we would have a website that sells educational books and users
can search their books, either by title of the book, the author’s name, course code, and
program code. Furthermore, we also provide a delivery status so that our customers can
estimate the arrival of their products. We estimate that the submission date for this project
will be done by 23 of July 2023.

acceptance criteria

The project objectives for this business are to provide variation of source and exercise for
students to achieve good result, to manage the order based on the subject systematically, to
develop an easy way to collect all courses book at one time without buying from each
lecturer, to increase profitability by the wholesale offer and to get a readable detailed
purchase history.

Exclusions

In this project we do not provide free delivery for the books, users have to pay for the
delivery fee. Users also can’t expect a fast delivery because we cannot control the delivery
time and we are not responsible for any damage that has been done by the delivery courier.

constraints

The hard limit that we have encountered is we have to make a license agreement with a
variety of rights owners such as writers, artists, designers, or other publishers. Moreover, we
do not own or control third party websites such as the link for the payment when users are
using card credit or online banking payment. Once users click on a third-party link and leave
the website, they are no longer bound by our terms and conditions. And whatever risk
happens between the user and the third-party websites is not our responsibility.

(UiTM) students and lecturers. Below is our project implementation and the schedule of our
project can be referred at 5.3 Project Implemental Schedule in this report.

6. Operation and Maintenance – Our business team will ensure website is always up-to-date

3.6 Project Methodology

Iterative development is the foundation of the project management methodology known as

agile scrum. With the intention of finishing the most crucial features first and creating a possibly
deliverable product, each iteration consists of two to four week sprints. Following sprints, the
product is enhanced with additional features that are modified in response to stakeholder and
consumer input.

The flexibility of the agile scrum technique is its main benefit. Stakeholder input is often
provided to the scrum team after each sprint in the sprint-based methodology. The scrum team
can easily and swiftly modify product goals over succeeding sprints to deliver more useful
iterations if issues or changes occur. This approach makes stakeholders happier since they
get exactly what they desire after participating at every stage of the process.

When opposed to conventional project management methods, teams must begin from the
beginning after the product has already been produced, stakeholders don't provide frequent
feedback, and time is wasted making adjustments to the product midway through production.

5.0 PRODUCTION PLAN

5.1 Production Process

1. Planning
The fundamental prerequisite for all production processes. The purpose and the best way
to accomplish the production's objectives are defined during planning phase.

2. Routing
The raw materials may be purchased, processed, finished, quality-checked, and
distributed during this step of the production process. The quantity, quality, and location of
the manufacturing of goods and services are all decided upon. This stage of the production
process is crucial.

17

0 0
 3. Scheduling
Choosing the timing for the production process is known as scheduling. How long, for
instance, should each production stage last? How much time should each employee spend
working on a specific workflow?

4. Dispatching
The production actually begins at this point. It might involve getting the things you need,
keeping records, watching over workflows as they go, counting how many times a machine
works, counting how long it sits idle, etc.

5. Follow-up
The final step in the production process is follow-up. Follow-up evaluates the productions
in comparison to what was anticipated. In order to ensure that the process runs well, follow-
up assists in identifying and fixing problems
