ABSTRACT
This study aims to compare conventional warehouse practice with the use of an in house developed warehousing application used by a local shoe manufacturing company in the Philippines. Shelf management, inbound and outbound operations were the operation that has been improved by implementing the use of QR code scanning in the application. A comparative study was conducted to analyze and evaluate the current operation compared with the use of the application. The traditional warehousing operation shows that many processes that involve personnel to make decision and actions that can lead to human error that can contribute to decreasing the warehouse's operational effectiveness. The comparison shows unnecessary operations were eliminated after the use of the warehouse application thus it reduces manpower needed to manage the warehouse and it eliminated paper records that can lead to encoding wrong information in the ERP system.
