This Project contains two Modules:

• Kroger-3D and
• Kroger-SCR

The main theme of the Module Kroger -3D, is to collect the items that have one or more UN Codes assigned to them by Kroger external business partner, 3E. For each item classified as hazardous, flammable or agricultural, generate a Bill of Lading which meets Federal DOT regulations and treat the products as “flow” so that they are sent directly to the stores rather than being warehoused.

Kroger’s Stores SCR module involves enhancement and maintenance of stores applications running to
