Development of spake's maintenance module for Ministry of Defence Malaysia

Abstract

Sistem Pengurusan Alat Komunikasi dan Elektronik (SPAKE) was developed to mitigate the Ministry of Defence Malaysia especially for Royal Signal Regiment in order to record, filter, process and search the data that have been stored in the Database Management System (DBMS). This system has mitigated the user where every job requirement forms, reports and information for certain data can be produced and printed via user computers. Before the system was developed, traditional method done by using lots of forms and reports resulted in less effective management because users need to use lots of storing files to store all the forms and reports. Furthermore, users have difficulties to search the past data. More than that, this manual method of course delays the job transferring between army units around Malaysia. Following the government’s vision to achieve electronic government or e-Government which is one of the flagship application for vision 2020, Ministry of Defence Malaysia has take the brilliant initiative to realize this vision. This transformation of job management will bring deep effect for the department especially in reducing the human power, cost and time. Besides, this change will also drive the department management and administration to be more efficient and systematic.
