P system of a computer. These is also a simple program in this work that will help the management of the company to quickly transmit relevant information to the manufacturing plant on receipt of a customer orders, so that they will be able to get their order quickly.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

The rapid growth in technology have compelled man-kind to look inward finding alternative means of accomplishing most his strenuous task.
