Sherry's Meats, a regional meat wholesaler and retailer, needs to collect up-to-date information on how much of each meat product it has in each store. It will then use that information to schedule deliveries from its central warehouse. Currently, customers entering the store fill out a detailed form specifying their individual orders. The form lists over 150 items; it includes meat and meat products available in different amounts. At the end of the day, between 250 and 400 customer orders are tabulated and deducted from the store's inventory. Then the office worker in each store phones in an order for the next day. Store employees have a difficult time tabulating sales because of the mistakes customers make in filling out their forms.
