Logistics Application

Overview

​

Created an application to handle the order processing and logistics functions of an enterprise, where it processes orders to move products from one (or more) facilities to a destination facility. The application processes customer orders - a very time intensive process when done manually. It also handles the input of information, order processing, and results generation. In this project, I developed the application by implementing the following: 

• Created the Facility Inventory, Transport Network, Item Catalog, and Order XML files (offline process) from provided data spreadsheet

• Loaded these files to create internal representations of facilities (and its inventories), transport network, items, and orders (and related order items)

• Research and implemented Dijkstra's algorithm to determine the shortest path between any 2 facilities

• Fully implemented order processing functionality

• Generated Facility Status and Order Outputs

​

In correspondence with an object-oriented design approach, I followed the basic principles of design and utilized the following design patterns throughout the application (while avoiding anti-patterns):

• Factory

• Singleton

• Strategy

• Facade

• Null Object

• Data Transfer Object

• Composite

• Observer

• Monostate

• Power Type
