A detailed description of the weeklydeliverables is given elsewhere and will not be described here due to space limitations. TheCritical Design Review (CDR) rubric was also developed to balance the course weightingbetween system-level thinking fostered by weekly deliverables and acquired technical skillsetsfrom the MSEE program.

The inventory planning subsystem is concerned with buildingorders for the suppliers and dispatching materials to the customer wherein material handling ismore involved with transferring the goods inside the warehouse. There are different functionslike labeling, breaking bulk, light assembly, order entry and fulfillment, packaging, pick andpack, and transportation arrangement necessary to carry out material handling activities 2. Allthese operations are cost intensive; the most expensive is the pick and pack process whichgenerally constitutes about 50%-75% of the total warehousing
