My Project
The (2) Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet Android 14,128 GB, 11" will serve as a foundational component of the campus-based store, giving students a designated workspace to organize, display, and manage inventory. These tables will allow students to engage in hands-on learning experiences, such as processing orders and payments, Inventory management, and understanding business planning in Distribution and Logistics. By providing a professional setup, students can simulate real-world store operations, enhancing their skills. Implement Logistics Management Skills: Teach students the core principles of logistics management, including inventory control, supply chain coordination, and resource allocation. Provide students with opportunities to plan and execute efficient workflows, such as managing product placement and optimizing the store layout. Encourage Teamwork and Leadership foster collaboration by having students work together and opportunity to practice leadership skills. While promote Real-World Learning in managing an inventory system, allowing students to connect classroom knowledge to practical applications. Ensure the store becomes a reliable resource for school organizations, helping them access and manage shared supplies effectively. Enhance Problem-Solving Abilities Equipping students with the skills to address challenges like inventory shortages, scheduling conflicts, and customer service issues in a controlled environment. Achieving these goals, the project aims to prepare students for future career paths while simultaneously benefiting the school community. Our students are unique because they are actively engaging in experiential learning by managing the logistics and inventory of a campus-based store. This project gives them a rare opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the real-world functions of logistics, including inventory tracking, organization, and distribution. By participating in this initiative, they are building skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership, all while making meaningful contributions to their school. This experience is not just preparing them for future careers in logistics and management but also shaping them into resourceful and innovative individuals.
