2. Theoretical Framework 2.

1 - Introduction In this chapter, we

as proponents discuss the different theories and or concepts that would help us
through the development of the system. This theoretical framework will provide a
background into Online Ordering concepts, which will help to explain some of the
processes of the theories that we should divulge; and the definitions of I.T Concepts
and Non-I.T Concepts. 2.2 - IT-Related Concepts All I.T theories and concepts used
by the proponents in creating the system are discussed in this section Web
Application -Although the World-Wide Web was initially conceived as a vehicle for
delivering documents, it is now being used as a platform for sophisticated
interactive applications, displacing the traditional mechanism of installable binaries.
Web-based applications offer numerous advantages, such as instant access,
automatic upgrades, and opportunities for collaboration on a massive scale.
However, creating Web applications requires different approaches than traditional
applications and involves the integration of numerous technologies. This class will
introduce you to the Web technologies and give you experience creating Web
applications. In the process you will learn about markup languages, scripting
languages, network protocols, interactive graphics, event-driven programming, and
databases, and see how they all work together to deliver exciting applications.

course=WebAppl ications -Web Application is the important thing for the proponents
to use in this system study. Web applications typically use a database to store
permanent information such as product descriptions and costs, and customer
orders. Database Schema -Short for relational database management system and
pronounced as separate letters, a type of database management system (DBMS)
that storesdata in the form of related tables. Relational databases are powerful
because they require few assumptions about how data is related or how it will be
extracted from the database. As a result, the same database can be viewed in many
different ways. Source: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/RDBMS.html -Relational
Database Management System (RDBMS) supports the proponents with knowledge
on how we manage the database, because RDBMS has a simple view of the
database that conforms to much of the data used in businesses. Networking -In the
world of computers, networking is the practice of linking two or more computing
devices together for the purpose of sharing data. Networks are built with a mix of
computer hardware and computer software. Source:

-The proponents used the networking in the purpose of the requirements of the
system. It is very easy to communicate through a network. People can communicate
efficiently using a network with a group of people. They can enjoy the benefit of
emails, instant messaging, telephony, video conferencing, chat rooms, etc. 2.3 Non IT-Related Concepts Requisition Form -Requisition Form is a request form of
product that incluudes suggested product to be replenished. Submitting a
requisition form means that the product included in the list are critical level or out of
stock. Economic Order Quantity -This is the process of defining the best suggested
order quantity of the product, based on its movement in the market. This concept
has been applied to eliminate the problem in most inventory systems, which is the
overstocking and understocking. Because of these concepts defining the required
quantity was made possible. 2.4 Summary The developed system is composed of
various processes and procedures, thus, the proponents have considered different
theories and concepts in order to make it more defined and precise.
