Abstract

The leathercraft industry, characterised by intricate manual processes and a heavy reliance on skilled artisans, presents unique challenges for warehouse management. Existing literature has not extensively explored the specific requirements of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) for this sector. This research proposes a conceptual model for a leathercraft WMS by integrating Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and Unified Modelling Language (UML). SSM^s capacity to address complex and ill-structured systems aligns with the challenges of capturing the nuances of leathercraft operations, whilst UML provides a structured approach for translating the conceptual model into a practical system design. The findings of this research can serve as a valuable resource for the development of a WMS to enhance operational efficiency within the leathercraft industry.
