2) Description of Amazon's Tasks:


An international technology and e-commerce corporation, Amazon provides a variety of services
and goods. Among the important duties carried out by Amazon are:

E-commerce Retail:

The main source of revenue for Amazon comes from its e-commerce platform, which allows
both individuals and companies to buy and sell a wide variety of goods. Here is how this task is
broken down:
Product Catalogues:

Provides access to millions of product listings in a variety of categories, including electronics,


clothing, household items, and more. These listings come with in-depth descriptions of the
goods, pictures, and client feedback.

Marketplace:

In addition to selling its own goods, Amazon also functions as a marketplace where other
vendors can list and sell their goods. This enables a wide variety of products.

Processing orders:

Amazon handles order processing, payment, and fulfillment after a customer puts an order.
Through Amazon Prime, options for same-day or two-day delivery are also available.

Systems of recommendations:

To improve customer shopping experiences, Amazon analyses consumer behavior using artificial
intelligence algorithms and offers tailored suggestions for items.

Cloud Computing (AWS):


A key component of Amazon's company is Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides cloud
computing services to a variety of customers, including startups, businesses, and governmental
bodies.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

AWS offers clients the ability to create and host applications by offering scalable and adaptable
computing assets such as virtual servers (EC2), storage (S3), and databases (RDS).

Platform as a Service (PaaS):

Engineers may create, implement, and handle apps on the AWS platform without having to
worry about the supporting infrastructure.

Software as a Service (SaaS): Through AWS, Amazon provides a range of software solutions,
such as analytics tools, machine learning services, and more.

Global Reach: AWS runs data centers all over the world, ensuring that client apps and
information have quick access and are always available.
Logistics and Fulfillment:
Amazon's extensive logistical network makes order fulfillment and shipping quick and easy.

Warehouses and distribution centers:

To shorten delivery times, Amazon operates a massive network of warehouses and distribution
centers.

Last-Mile Delivery:

To guarantee prompt delivery to customers' doorsteps, Amazon works with a variety of delivery
partners, including Amazon Flex drivers and third-party carriers.

Amazon Fulfillment (FBA):

Using Amazon's fulfillment services will allow third-party sellers to store, choose, pack, and ship
their goods.

Marketplace for Sellers:

A large portion of Amazon's revenue comes from its third-party platform:

Selling Centre:

Seller Central is used by independent sellers to control their Amazon listings, prices, and stock
levels.

Amazon Fulfillment (FBA):

Selling on Amazon makes it simpler to reach a global client base because sellers can choose to
let Amazon handle shipping and customer support for their products.

3) Typical Scenarios of Amazon's Work:


a) Online shopping: Customers explore and buy things on Amazon's website. They may browse
reviews, read product information, and conduct safe transactions. The algorithms used by
Amazon's recommendation system recommend pertinent products based on customer interests
and behavior.

b) AWS Cloud Services: AWS is used by companies and developers to host websites and
applications, store data, train machine learning models, and scale their computing resources
based on demand. AWS is the engine behind a plethora of online services and applications.
c) Streaming and entertainment: Users can expand their selection of entertainment by
accessing Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music to stream movies, TV shows, and music.

d) Order Fulfillment: Amazon's logistics and fulfillment network is used when a client puts an
order. Products are selected, packaged, and delivered to customers' doorsteps, frequently with a
variety of delivery alternatives, like the quick shipping service offered by Amazon Prime.

e) Sellers' Marketplace: Amazon offers chances for independent sellers to put their goods on
the marketplace, giving entrepreneurs and companies new ways to connect with a global
clientele.

Amazon has a comprehensive strategy that combines modern technology, shipping know-how,
and an emphasis on client service to efficiently provide a wide range of services and goods.

The "FBA Inventory Management" web page would be my main emphasis if I were to
execute just a small percentage of the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) activities.

1). Web page: https://sell.amazon.com/learn/inventory-management

2).

The purpose of this website is to help merchants who use the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
service effectively handle their stock. Sellers may use this page to carry out operations like:

Listings of the inventory:

Via FBA, sellers may view and control the merchandise they have posted for sale. They may
track the amount of stock, alter costs, and verify the status of each product.
Inventory Replenishment:

By receiving information about their inventory levels, sellers can utilize the data to make
well-informed choices about ordering more goods. They can establish sales velocity-based
rules for automatic replenishment.

Disposal and Removal:

This page enables a seller to start the actions necessary to remove a product from FBA or
dispose of it.

Product Combination:

A seller may create and handle bundles of items via this page when they want to group
associated goods collectively for selling.

Accessibility to reports that offer useful information on sales, returns, and inventory
performance, assisting sellers in streamlining their FBA operations.

FBA sellers can successfully oversee their inventory, adapt to market adjustments, and make
sure their products are available for Amazon Prime customers to be delivered quickly and
reliably through Amazon's logistics network by installing and improving this website.

Enhancing the inventory management capabilities for sellers utilizing Fulfillment by


Amazon (FBA) is the task I will perform using the "FBA Inventory Management" web page.
Detailed descriptions of the tasks, parameters, elements, and available resources are provided
below:

Task Description:

The "FBA Inventory Management" webpage will be created and enhanced by our team to
simplify stock-related duties for FBA merchants. The main objective is to give sellers an
easy-to-use interface so they can efficiently manage their product inventory on Amazon's
platform.
Specific task:

Monitoring of inventory in real-time:

Use a dashboard to show real-time data on product listings, such as stock levels, sales results,
and fulfillment status. Integrating with Amazon's inventory management programme is
necessary for this.

Updates on the inventory:

Enable online page-based editing of product listings by vendors. Sellers have the option of
bulk or individualized updates to product names, descriptions, prices, and quantity.

Replenishment Suggestions:

Give data-driven insights on which products require restocking, taking into account previous
data, sales speed, and impending promotions. Rules for automated refilling can be set up by
sellers.

Product Bundling:

Give vendors the ability to manage and generate bundled listings of products. This includes
establishing the bundles' prices, specifications, and inventory control.

Inventory Removal and Disposal:

Give merchants the authority to order the removal or destruction of goods from FBA
warehouses. In order to do this, cancellation orders must be created, and communication with
Amazon's fulfillment facilities must be made easier.

Inventory Reports:

Create a reporting module that generates thorough reports on sales trends, return rates, and
stock efficiency. These reports aid vendors in making wise choices.

Boundaries:

The creation and improvement of the "FBA Inventory Management" web page within the
Amazon seller portal is the exclusive focus of this position.

The fundamental FBA infrastructure and internal systems are unaffected.

The position does not involve seller-specific connections or modifications and is instead
focused on enhancing the user interface and experience for FBA sellers.
Components/Resources:

Implementing the user interface, dashboard, and inventory management functions on the
website using front-end programming.

Backend Integration: Joining the website's internal systems to Amazon's to have


accessibility to current inventory information and procedure updates.

Database management: securing the storage and retrieval of information about inventories.

Data analytics: Using algorithms to create reports on stocks and advise restocking.
Providing secure login and access management for approved FBA sellers using user
authentication.

4).

In order to create an Entity-Relationship (E-R) diagram for the "FBA Inventory


Management" project, the following crucial business rules must be followed:

One Seller, Multiple Products:

Although each seller account can list multiple items for Amazon to complete, just one vendor
is linked to each listing of products.

Inventory Tracking:

Inventory tracking is required for every item on the listing, providing SKU (stock keeping
unit), location of the fulfillment center, and accessible amount.

Real-time Updates:

To enable effective control of inventory, stock updates, including quantity adjustments and
item data changes, should be reflected in real-time across the platform.

Replenishment Settings:

To schedule restocking choices, sellers can enter criteria like minimum stock levels and
reorder thresholds in the replenishing settings for every item.

Requests for removal and disposal:

Sellers can request the elimination or disposal of certain items, but the procedure must follow
Amazon's rules and the ability of the fulfillment centers.
