INTRODUCTIONWHAT IS INTERIOR DESIGN AND ITS USAGE IN MARKET DEVELOPMENT?

Interior design concerns itself with more than just the visual or ambient enhancementof an interior space; it seeks to optimize and harmonize the uses to which the built

environment will be put. Thus, in the words of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, it

is "practical, aesthetic, and conducive to intended purposes, such as raising

productivity, selling merchandise, or improving life style." Interior design is a practice

that responds to changes in the economy, organization, technology, demographics,

and business goals of an organization.

As a human activity, interior design is centuries old. As a coherent profession

identified by the label "interior designer," it is relatively recent. Many experts trace its

beginnings to the early 20th century and the rise of interior decoration as a career

separate from architecture. In the early decades, this practice focused largely on the

residential arena. By the 1940s, the terms "interior design" and "interior designer"

were used primarily by those individuals providing services to a small but growing

number of business clients. Interior design is generally divided into two categories,

residential and contract or commercial. Today, interior design is becoming

increasingly specialized as buildings and materials get more complex technologically

and regulations and standards more demanding.

Interior designing concerns itself with more than just the visual or ambientenhancement of an interior space, it seeks to optimize and harmonize the uses to

which the interior environment will be put. Many factors come into play in formulating

the design solution. There is the space itself--its dimensions and construction--with

its potential and its limitations. There is how the space will be used for work or

leisure, entertainment or worship, healing or learning. There is the meaning of the

space, what it signifies be it power, authority, security, wisdom, achievement,

playfulness or serenity. There are practical considerations, like ease of access,

amount of light, acoustics, seating and places to store or set things down.

There are health and safety considerations, attention to special needs and more.

This study describes investment opportunity regarding setting up business of interior

Designing and landscaping to provide services of said business to various level of

consumer including houses, farm houses, offices, banks etc. Therein project shed

light on the key to be considered in the starting of business

1. P reliminary InvestigationThe main aim of preliminary analysis is to identify the problem. First, need for the new or the

enhanced system is established. Only after the recognition of need, for the proposed system

is done then further analysis is possible.Preliminary Investigation involves:

1. Identification of project enhancement techniques, like designing, controlling, feasibility,

and benefits are required to solve for further study of the project.

2. We investigate system requirement, what all need to be done to make the project

understand to the customers, clerks and the end users. All the people that use the system

need to know how to operate the system without any difficulties. We build models for more

reference to the project. We create all types of models to give more details about the project.

3. In addition to the activities performed during software development, some activities are

performed after the main development is complete. There is often an installation (also calledimplementation) phase, which is concerned with actually installing the system on the client's

computer systems and then testing it. Then, there is software maintenance. Maintenance is an

activity that commences after the software is developed. Software needs to be maintained not

because some of its components "wear out" and need to be replaced, but because there are

often some residual errors remaining in the system which must be removed later as they are

discovered. Furthermore, the software often must be upgraded and enhanced to include more

"features" and provide more services. This also requires modification of the software,

Therefore, maintenance in unavoidable for software systems.

4. We need to build the system in a proper manner to avoid the risks involved in the

project. We need to tackle all problems that involve risks in the system such as the designing

part, the database, the management part and materials.

5. Creating a WBC (Work Breakdown Structure), drawing UML diagrams, software

development can reduce work of the project. All this things can solve the problem of the

project.

6. Plan the project in a creative way. Since this is a Home Dcor management, we need

to strongly plan the project according to customer satisfaction. We have give discounts for

special products (reasonable discounts on festive occasions) in order to attract customer to

spend.

7. Development (coding) of software: coding of related functions, strong databaseconnectivity shows the deployment from the project team. If the expenditure ismore then the output should be double, then only it is said to be a successfulproject.

1.1 ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.2 LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT SYSTEM

The management problems that arise during project are:

Home interiors get various problems while designing and coding the project. These

problems may be due to insufficient resources while building the system. If there is no

availability of sufficient resources, then it may lead to project failure.

Project designing can be the interior or the exterior part:

The interior part is that whether the organization is maintaining the project in a

smooth way. Such as analyzing phases, look for feasibility, system requirements,

scope, time, cost, quality, risks involved. Whether the materials used for the shop are

fulfilling? Whether the time for completing the in and outlook of the shop attractingcustomers. Whether the interior design of the shop in lively. We need to take a look

on various stakeholders activities. Whether they take part in there respective tasks?

The technical staff needs to maintain transactions properly. If there is a system

breakdown then they need fix the problems immediately.Change them and updating

can be costly and complex.


7/26

The exterior part is the sales. Whether the sales in market place attracting

customers to buy the products. We need to record yearly increase or decrease in

profit or loss. If the sales are increasing day by day, then we need to make changes

in shop management.

The above parts are inter-related. If the sales (budget) are high then improve the

project.

The Technical problems that arise when developing a project are:

Account creation and management with any number of contacts associated with

each account is necessary.

(Meeting, calls, tasks and notes) the activity history is tracked for contacts, account,

leads, opportunities and cases.

Users can track customer problems and resolutions. Allow each problem to have a

life cycle of information to improve customer satisfaction.

Each case links to related Accounts, Contacts, Notes, Associated files, plus calls and

meeting activity history.

We do SWOT Analysis in order to maintain the limitations of the project:

Before making any investment decision it is advisable to evaluate associated risk factors

by taking into consideration certain key elements. SWOT analysis is a strategic planning

tool used to evaluate Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats involved in a

project or a business venture. Strengths and weaknesses are internal to company.

Opportunities and threats originate outside the company. A SWOT analysis is usually

performed early in the project development process, and helps organization to evaluate

internal factors.

1.2.1 Strengths

(i) Competent staff.

(ii) Dynamic Leadership of the stakeholders and people outside the system.(iii) Availability of adequate facilities i.e. corporate office with good working conditions,

Internet excess, necessary software for designing, in house infrastructure facilities.

(iv) Effective marketing/promotion to create awareness of General public.

1.2.2 Weaknesses


8/26

(i) Lack of training opportunities.

(ii) Non availability of some basic material/items to be used in both interior and exterior

Designing.

(iii) Operating at very low rather negligible profit margin in initial years.

(iv) Difficulty in building confidence among target customers.

1.2.3 Opportunities

(i) Government incentives for housing industry.

(ii) Inflow of new ideas due to open trade and globalization.

(iii) Para dime shift in lifestyle.

1.2.4 Threats

(i) Tough Competition.(ii) New entrants can easily share the business.

1.3 PROPOSED SYSTEMThe purposes of the proposed system are to provide a standard operating procedure for a

systematic and effective handling of project-type study items as differentiated from

informational-type items; to assign definite singular responsibility for projects; to suggest

specific sequential steps to be taken in the preparation of the project report; and to ensure that

people are involved in the planning stages of the project. Four phases constitute the proposed

procedure: need, design, implementation, and evaluation.

Project Needs:

Only after the recognition of need, for the proposed system is done then further analysis is

possible. Firstly, we need to know what does the outside world thinks. What does the

customer thinks about changing lifestyles:

1. If I select a right design, then can I impress my family?

2. Will they truly appreciate my selected design?

3. Is my home comfortable so that I can invite quests?

4. Are the furnitures comfortable enough?

5. The product that I buy is a good quality or not?

6. Am I satisfied with where I invest?


9/26

The answers are yes yes..and yes, because we want to give customers the right

product and good fittings. Neat work is the motive and we aspect good deals out of this

project. The Interior designers and carpenters are much skilled in the Home Work. They

suggest the right design for your box that is their usual way of co-operating with the

customers.

Secondly the interior designers need to get into the customers head to select the right choice.

Thirdly, if I have a beautiful shop to attract customers, then I have to manage my store for

their convenience.

(i) Software Requirements:

Operating System: Windows XP

Programming Language: Java

Web Applications: JAVA 2.0, JDBC, Servlets

Database: Microsoft access

(ii) Hardware Requirements:

Processor : AMD GIGABYTE

Hard Disk : 40GB

RAM : 512MB or more

Design implementation & Shop maintenance :

Design the software according the basic needs of the project. Security should be

maintained and stored transactions should be easy to search. For that a software should be

work friendly.

Let us know what a customer searches for: a good company brands (the home

furnishings that are in demand), reasonable price, quality. So quality products, a good brand,

prices should be kept in mind. Staffs and consultants should design the project according to

customer satisfaction.

We have to tag every decoration to give the details about the product brand, its cost,

its guarantee, etc.

When a customer gets into the store, he/she should feel comfortable. The store

should be fully air conditioned, spacious enough to walk around. There should be carpet

flooring inside the store (suggestion: dark carpets usually give wow feeling).

Cushioned Seating arrangement should be provided : if the customers feel tired

roaming about the whole store, then they can take a seat.


10/26

Lighting arrangements should be proper according to the type of furnishings. We

should see if the lightings match with the furniture color codes and put those in their

backgrounds of every design. Other than backgrounds, the whole store can have lamps and

electricity savers.

S tore assistance: we need to train store attendants to save time for customerrequirement. A store attendant should have good communication skills when dealing with

customers. He should be able to explain the details about each and every product in the store.

They should also have a decent dress code and a batch.

The clerk should be humble to customers and see to it if no misbehaving is done.

There should be a Stock room in the store to place new products or exchange of

products. Instruments that are needed in case of technical fault. Files and Computer for

information about customer details.

If there are any damaged or expired products; Customer can inquire about damaged

products. They can be replaced with a new product.

Keep a check on new arrivals and give necessary discounts.

Evaluation and Compatibility:

The development of this new system contains the following activities, which try to develop the

project by keeping the entire process in the view of database integration approach.

i) Secure registration and profile management facilities for Customers. A Customer can see

the items that are there in each category of products like the complete Home Design

furnishings, Apparel, Kitchen accessories, Bath accessories etc.

ii) Creating a Shopping environment so that customer can Shop items and checkout finally

with the entire shopping cart.

iii) Customers are asked for required personal information. The information is stored inside the

database. The customer asks for verification of the details and payment (Credit card

verification mechanism)

iv) There are Updates given to the customers about the Recent Items in the Shop whenever

the customer is the member of Home dcor design. The updates can be sending through e-

mails, delivery posts or calls.


11/26

2. Feasibility studyThe proposed system is evaluated for its feasibility. Feasibility for a system means

whether it is practical and beneficial to build that system. When a project starts, we try to

gather information from different stakeholders involved in the project. The information is

checked for feasibility in order to proceed further.

Feasibility is evaluated from developer and customer's point of view. Developer sees

whether they have the required technology or manpower to build the new system. Is

building the new system really going to benefit the customer? Does the customer have

the required money to build that type of a system? All these issues are covered in thefeasibility study of the system. The feasibility of the system is evaluated on the three

main issues: technical, economical, and operational. Another issue in this regard is the

legal feasibility of the project.

(i) Technical feasibility: Can the development of the proposed system

be done with current equipment, existing software technology, and


12/26

available personnel? Does it require new technology? The technical

staff should be aware of all these things and also the quality and cost

of software that is required for the project. The quality of the

technology used in the project, such as the softwares needed for

implementation and development of the databases in the projectshould be of least cost (but a good quality) and can produce better

results. In the project, the software used for Home dcor management

includes Java and Oracle. The technical staff handles the core

function codes in Java to manipulate customer data. They need to

handle the information stored in the database as well. They also

include new technology as the project proceeds and if the project is

gaining profits then they need to think about better options in software

market.

(ii) Operational feasibility: This Feasibility Structure ensures a check on

operations that are conducted in the system. Will the system be used

if it is developed and implemented? Will there be resistance from

users that will undermine the possible application benefits? This will

see whether the customer transactions are kept in order or not? Is the

payment done according to the type? Are the details enough for a

home delivery? Are the customers satisfied with what they want? All

these questions raise a big question i.e. are the Operations done on

time and co-ordinate effectively with the system? That is why the

usage of the system should be proper. It should be implemented

properly. From developers point of view ,I can say that there is a

success if the operations (like calculating cost, entering data, saving

records, giving delivery details) are all done without any internal or

external problems (refer to limitations of the project).

(iii) Economic feasibility: Are there sufficient benefits in creating the

system to make the costs acceptable? An important outcome of the

economic feasibility study is the cost benefit analysis. If I see that the

project is not economically feasible, then maybe I have planned a

wrong procedure for the cost analysis. To see if I have done the

investment in a right place that gave better output? To see if the

investment was enough to attract the customers to the store? If the

cost was put inspite for all the risks involved? All these things should

be carefully done before we step on to the other feasibility structures.

I have to add many lists for making the shop comfortable to the


13/26

customers. If it is so then I have to invest more. But apart from

investment and detailed planning there should be a better outcomes

such as the sales should be high, customer should get friendly

environment to communicate with the clients, customer should know

about the details of the product, they should feel the talent in theworks of the stakeholders, they should know every detail about the

shop.

(iv) Resource feasibility: For checking the available resources, the

system needs to maintain resources for its feasibility. How much time

to build a new system? When it can be build? Whether it interferes

with normal business operations? What are the types or the amount of

resources required for the project? All these conditions need to be

checked. The time management for building the system is done

beautifully if the available resources are high. If the things to build the

shop and its maintenance are sufficient then we can manage less

time in it and concentrate on other things such as developing software

for faster transaction (in case of customer satisfaction). In case of

budget requirements analysis we can save time. If the expenditure for

the resources are high that doesnt fit the budget, then we have to

create another alternative ready. This can save time and imply the

resources in a correct manner.

The result of the feasibility study is a formal document, a report detailing the nature andscope of the proposed solution. It consists of the following:

Statement of the problem

Details of findings

Findings and recommendations in concise form

Once the feasibility study is done then the project is approved or disapproved according

to the results of the study. If the project seems feasible and desirable then the project is

finally approved otherwise no further work is done on it.


14/26

AdvantagesTools are the building block of the project. There are several advantages that can give

success to the project by certain tools:

Tools can facilitate the creation and maintenance of project artifacts (e.g. project

schedule) and especially good at complex analysis (e.g. Earned Value

Management).if the schedule of the project is going to be in a right way then there is

a progress.

Tools are very good at linking to sub-projects or other work packages/plansTools are very good at providing various outputs (e.g. Gantt Charts, Milestone

Charts, and Network Diagrams etc)

Contribute to the build up of statistical information to assist in improving

management of future projects. Allows a more objective comparison of alternative

actions/decisions and provides repeatable results. Helps distinguish between good


15/26

and bad luck and good and bad management. It can provide electronic methods of

approvals, speeding up decision making. Can be very good when teams are not co-

located at one place, and the team can access data when they need it and not rely

on any individual (e.g. methods and procedure database with the most up-to-date

versions on it).

Can be good at generating automated reports (e.g. timecards associated with

individual projects), if they are setup in the right way in the first place, Very good at

re-assigning authority when individuals are away, so decisions can still be made and

do not rely on single points of failure. The requirement to measure physical items

facilitates tighter management controls.

Many projects require a certain sequence of installation for maximizing results.

Home decor coordinates all aspects of this project to ensure smooth transitions from

each phase until project completion.

Detail drawings are prepared to help the clients visualize the finished piece.

Custom furnishings, Built-ins, and window treatments are also available through the

talents of Home dcor design consultants.

Home dcor design offers a wide range of interior design services to meet any client's

needs in Seawoods.

Stakeholder analysisA stakeholder analysis can help a project to identify:

The interests of all stakeholders, who may affect or be affected by the project.

Potential issues that could disrupt the project.

Key people for information distribution during executing phase.

Groups that should be encouraged to participate in different stages of the project.

Communication planning & stakeholder management strategy during project

planning phase. Ways to reduce potential negative impacts & manage negative stakeholders.

Engaging stakeholders throughout the project life cycle is a key to projects success.

Managing stakeholders expectations & ensuring their active involvement is very much

important to project as:


16/26

It is indispensable for continuation of the project & its successful completion.

It gives opportunity to individuals or groups to express their ideas / issues/

concerns over the project.

It gives a sense of accountability and enhances responsibility.

It enables effective risk identification & response planning. It opens up excellent learning opportunity for both the project team and

stakeholders.

The Home dcor ensures that all the stakeholders are active in the project development:

1) Customer.

2) Employee.

3) Admin Module.
