Inventory management is an important part of the manufacturing operations in the garment industry. This study presents an initial proposal for a database system for managing material inventory in the garment industry. It allows for control over the receiving process by managing information related to production plans, suppliers, orders, and order details, as well as addressing the problem of managing the quality of input materials through specified criteria for material inspections. Additionally, it provides a basis for identifying materials with a unique code, establishing a link between the material of the location and the shelf position to optimize storage volume or determine routing for transportation, arrangement, and retrieval of materials. This data system serves the purpose of designing automated management software for inventory warehouses in garment manufacturing businesses. Furthermore, empirical results suggest that there is a near future potential for cost reductions to be realized in the domains of quality control, energy utilization, productivity, and operations and administration. Given the Vietnamese textile industry’s endeavor to achieve international competitiveness, this research offers practical implications for policymakers, scholars, and industry experts.
