Two postgraduate students (supervised by Jesper Simonsen) worked with two managers and seventeen employees in the Order Receiving and Shipping Departments to clarify how problems in managing a film stock and the cooperation between the Shipping and the Order Receiving functions could be supported by an inventory control system. The research goal was to test a variety of design techniques. The project lasted four months with both students working full time.
