My duties involved creating new applications for Conestoga’s Friedman Frontier ERP system asn improving functionality of existing applications.Projects:- I designed and wrote a comprehensive maintenance system. The maintenance department is using the system to handle work order requests, preventive maintenance schedules, downtime reporting, and labor tracking for both vehicles and machinery. This system provides the entire maintenance department with the ability to quickly and easily manage day to day tasks and analyze long term trends.- I created a helpdesk application in PHP that read emails from a designated inbox and automatically created a new helpdesk ticket. The application then allowed the user to review the request and send through a workflow for approval by appropriate parties, assign the ticket to an analyst, and accept resolution information.- I created an external defects tracking system. This set of applications allows the company to store information and pictures regarding defective material received from vendors. When a new defect is logged, the system notifies the inventory manager and the purchasing department with the information needed to take action and follows the defect until proper credit is received.

The real time data was retrieved from the AS/400 BPCS environment using SQL stored procedures in combination with RPG ILE programs.- I wrote an inventory inquiry application in RPG that allowed a client with a home grown system to inquire about the history, customer orders, and location availability for an item, with several different possible criteria to narrow the search. - I wrote three different applications that allowed the use of RF guns to enter data for BPCS specific inventory transactions.
