Abstract / Excerpt:

The succeeding chapters of this study emphasizes that component creation can only be made possible if the principles of object-oriented programming are being applied. The disciplines being imposed by this principle like encapsulation enables related fields to be combined and implementation details to be hidden. Since an object is a self-contained entity that has built-in attributes and behaviors, polymorphism makes it possible for the behavior of these objects to be altered without having to create a whole new entity from scratch. Inheritance on the other hand allows reusability of an object, achievable without even touching the original code. By virtue of properties and behaviors being inherited from its ancestor objects, characteristics are being brought forward to a child yet it remains an independent entity.
As the effects of the information age gradually changes the way systems are developed, this study strives to focus on creating and enhancing components for inventory systems to answer to the needs of businesses nowadays. To support these objectives, this study includes a thorough discussion on the underlying principles of object-oriented programming, a study of the different inventory systems available in the market today and detailed information on component making in Delphi. This paper therefore aims to develop a component that can be used in creating inventory systems in whatever field in the business. Finally, this study also gives much emphasis in providing a good venue for programmers to reacquaint themselves and remember the basic concepts of programming which are undeniably the most important foundation in developing complex and advance systems.
