Healthy Home

Abstract

Every home has the challenge of matching its grocery to family member’s demands. How well the home maker manages this challenge has a major impact on the food wastage and money spent on buying those. Any typical family with 4 people will spend at least $1500 per month for the groceries and the same family waste around $1000 worth of food in a year. These families don’t know the overall environmental impact of food waste which is piling up in landfills. From the survey done by Environmental Protection Agency, this food waste accounts for 20% of landfill waste. Healthy Home(HH) Android application helps the user to get the re-order point of the groceries based on the quantity remaining. The user will input the entire grocery list which he/she has purchased and the daily quantity consumed. The application will take this as the input and give the recommendation of what to cook and how many calories that give to your body. It can distinguish and let you know by what time the food should be consumed based on the Best by date or whether it is Perishable/Non-perishable. This application will recommend you the ROP (Reorder Point) and SS (Safety Stock) which any household has to carry based on the DDLT (Demand During the Lead Time). We are using the Supply Chain Industry standard formula to calculate the SS (Safety Stock) and ROP (Reorder Point). ROP = DDLT+ SS *SS = 2 Days’ worth of Food (Defaulting) Instead of going with the Industry standard formula. The user is provided with the database which consists of the standard grocery list with their calories information. The user is also provided with the standard cuisines (recipes) information in place which helps us in building the recommendation systems used to suggest recipes for users.
