Lastingness Slots


Title: Lastingness Slots

Objective:

q The Lastingness Slots system is an intranet system, which gives information about the Time Tracks and their bills.
q It helps the administrator for the administration and maintenance of the organization.
q  It fulfills the different requirements of the employees and administrator of the organization.
q  The specific purpose of this system is to gather the information of the Time Tracks and generate the invoice very effectively with user-friendly screens.



Existing System:

q Every organization maintains the details of the customers, projects and Tasks that are associated with it.
q The administrator of the organization is sole responsible for the maintenance of the entire system.
q  The administrator has to maintain the information about the tasks and their status from top level to bottom level.
q He should be able to store Time sheet of each and every employee and he has to calculate the bills but all these things will be maintained manually.
Drawbacks in present manual system:
q Time consuming
q Difficulty in maintenance
q Difficult in coordination


Proposed System:

q          The Lastingness Slots system is an intranet system, which gives information about the Time Tracks and their bills.
q It helps the administrator for the administration and maintenance of the organization.
q It fulfills the different requirements of the employees and administrator of the organization.
q  The specific purpose of this system is to gather the information of the Time Tracks and generate the invoice very effectively with user-friendly screens.
q In this system about the customers, projects, tasks, users, etc. are maintained. The administrator has the privilege to add customer, project, task and setting the privileges to the users.
q This system helps the administrator in the maintenance of the organization in an efficient manner.
q The various tasks of the administrator are automated at different levels that make generation of bills effectively
q The various users of the system include the employees and administrator of the organization.
q  The authorized user is given permission to view the tasks and can submit the time track.
q Any user can view the completed tasks, his time track  The user can also search for tasks.
q He can see the report also

Study of the system:

To provide flexibility to the users, the interfaces have been developed that are accessible through a browser. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as
  1. Administrative user interface
  2. The operational or generic user interface

The ‘administrative user interface’ concentrates on the consistent information that is practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the data collection. These interfaces help the administrators with all the transactional states like Data insertion, Data deletion and Date updation along with the extensive data search capabilities.

The ‘operational or generic user interface’ helps the end users of the system in transactions through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as per the included flexibilities.

Feasibility Study:

Feasibility Report:

Preliminary investigation examines project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical, Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running system. All systems are feasible if they are given unlimited resources and infinite time. There are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:
  • Technical Feasibility
  • Operation Feasibility
  • Economical Feasibility




Technical Feasibility:
The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation includes the following:
  • Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested?
  • Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to use the new system?
  • Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the number or location of users?
  • Can the system be upgraded if developed?
  • Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security?


Operational Feasibility:
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned out into information systems, which will meet the organization’s operating requirements. Operational feasibility aspects of the project are to be taken as an important part of the project implementation. Some of the important issues raised are to test the operational feasibility of a project includes the following: -
·       Is there sufficient support for the management from the users?
·       Will the system be used and work properly if it is being developed and implemented?
·       Will there be any resistance from the user that will undermine the possible application benefits?
This system is targeted to be in accordance with the above-mentioned issues. Beforehand, the management issues and user requirements have been taken into consideration. So there is no question of resistance from the users that can undermine the possible application benefits.
The well-planned design would ensure the optimal utilization of the computer resources and would help in the improvement of performance status.

Economic Feasibility:
A system can be developed technically and that will be used if installed must still be a good investment for the organization. In the economical feasibility, the development cost in creating the system is evaluated against the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems. Financial benefits must equal or exceed the costs. The system is economically feasible. It does not require any additional hardware or software. 

Functional Requirements:


Number of Modules

After careful analysis the system has been identified to have the following modules:

The system is proposed to have the following modules:
1.     Administration Module
2.     Task Module
3.     Time Track Module
4.     Reports
Admin Module:
The administrator mainly deals with the process of adding, deleting and changing the user information into the system. Along user info he is responsible for adding new customers, projects, working and non-working days in the organization. He can also create different types of billings. He can set the Calendar preferences also.
Task Module:
Task Module mainly deals adding tasks to a project and setting the deadlines. List the tasks, search for a task and add a task to the list and finally close the task. Convert the tasks from open state the closed state. set the no of tasks  to be displayed per page.
Time Track Module:
Time Track Module deals with submitting the time track depending on the deadlines. The user can submit the overtime track also. User can see his Time track at any point of time between some dates also.
Reports module deals with generating different type of reports like Billing summary report, staff out report, overtime report and prepare invoice data report
Reports Module:  Reports can be generated in different forms: HTML and CSV
¨     Giving the permissions to the user for providing them specialized services.
¨     Generating the reports very easily based on different criteria.
¨     Providing user the right to allow him to modify the profile.
