Conclusion

 During this semester's project we, Team 3, invested a lot of time and energy into researching Lowe's. In this process, we analyzed the company's information system and learned about the unique structured and dynamic business strategy used by the company and how employees can work more efficiently, including some new MIS technologies, such as Zebra mobile phone inventory methods. Lowe's is one of many companies that has reinvented its inventory and merchandising processes to adapt to changing times. 

  We would like to give a special thanks to the folks at Lowe's, especially Keshawn of the team and Assistant Store Manager Adam Dickinson and professor Thomas Abraham. Without their time and support, we would not have been able to gain an in-depth understanding of Lowe's management information systems which would have allowed our research to proceed smoothly. Although this project was challenging at times, Team 3 are very pleased with the final result. In our research, we discovered the advantages of Lowe's Company's management information system technology, such as efficient data integration and real-time information processing. However, we are also aware of some issues, such as potential security risks and system stability issues, which may affect the reliability and security of the information system and need to be effectively managed and resolved. 

   Through this project, we gained an in-depth understanding of how MIS technology is applied in large retail enterprises and the challenges we may face in actual operations. This not only helped us gain a deeper understanding of Lowe's company's operating model, but also provided valuable experience and insights for solving similar challenges in the future.
