 ABSTRACT
The Inventory Management System is a Python-based application designed to simplify
inventory tracking and management for small-scale businesses or personal use. It provides an
interactive menu-driven interface, enabling users to perform essential inventory operations
seamlessly. Key features of the system include:

1. Item Addition: Users can add new items to the inventory by specifying the item
name, category, quantity, and price.

2. Item Update: Existing inventory items can be updated with new quantities and
prices, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.

3. Item Removal: Unwanted or discontinued items can be easily deleted from the
inventory.

4. Inventory View: Users can view the entire inventory in a structured format, listing all
items along with their respective categories, quantities, and prices.

5. Export to CSV: Inventory data can be exported into a CSV file for record-keeping or
integration with other applications, promoting data accessibility and backup.

The system uses Python's dictionary data structure to store inventory details dynamically
during runtime, and it leverages the csv module for data export functionality. The modular
design and user-friendly interface make the application highly adaptable for real-world
scenarios.

This project emphasizes practicality, usability, and simplicity, providing a foundation for
further enhancements, such as database integration, authentication mechanisms, or advanced
reporting features. Designed with scalability in mind, it serves as an efficient tool for
inventory management while being an excellent example of basic software engineering
principles.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

Hardware Requirements

1. Processor: Minimum 1.6 GHz dual-core processor or higher (e.g., Intel i3 or AMD
Ryzen 3).

2. RAM: Minimum 2 GB (4 GB or more recommended for smoother performance).

3. Storage: At least 100 MB of free disk space for storing the project files and inventory
CSV files.

4. Keyboard and Mouse: Essential for interacting with the menu-driven interface.

Software Requirements

1. Python Interpreter: Python 3.8 or later (ensure it is installed and configured in the
system’s PATH).

2. Libraries and Modules: Pre-installed Python libraries like csv (no external
installations required).

3. Text Editor/IDE: Recommended: VS Code, PyCharm, Sublime Text, or any

4. Command-Line Interface: Terminal (macOS/Linux) or Command

5. CSV Viewer: Applications like Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets
to view exported CSV files.
