JustInTime Web

JustInTime Web is a group coursework project for the 5005CMD Software Engineering module on the second-year Computer Science course at Coventry University. The project is based on the FloatFry JustInTime case study and combines a public cookware storefront with an internal manufacturing resource planning dashboard for marketing, floor management, production, engineering, operations, and admin users.

Case Study Coverage

Implemented at prototype level:

order-driven production planning
machine and operator scheduling
operator certification constraints
machine capability and telemetry-style reporting
materials and supplier availability
purchase ordering and stock diagnosis
product engineering deliverables
batch dispatch and QC workflow
issue alerts and halt reasons
short-term forecast reporting
multi-plant structure
admin-side account and system visibility

Still simulated rather than fully integrated:

live hardware connectors to factory machines
supplier APIs
advanced forecasting engines
external messaging or email integrations
