The aim is to design and prototype a web-based IT system for the complex provision of spare parts. The IT system should provide the necessary information for different user roles, support the ordering and execution of spare parts deliveries and manage stocks and replenishment processes. This also includes order data management and master data maintenance. In particular, suitable data models are to be designed and implemented in SQL, suitable interfaces - for example using PHP - are to be designed and the prototypical implementation of suitable user interfaces is to be carried out.

After successful participation, students will have acquired the competence to use current tools and techniques from Internet-based information technology in the context of production and logistics in a prototypical manner and to assess their applicability for industrial tasks.

Course structure

  • Presence 1: Task definition, basic understanding of HTTP/CSS/PHP
  • Presence 2: Design, basic understanding: SQL
