Inventory Management System

Overview

This project is a Java-based desktop application developed for a small manufacturing organization (Acme) to manage their inventory system. The application replaces the manual process of using spreadsheets for inventory management, allowing for more sophisticated and automated inventory tracking. The system was designed and implemented to meet specific business requirements, incorporating various object-oriented principles and Java programming constructs.
