Enhancement of scheduling system interfactes and punctionalities case study : Asian Institute of Medical, Science and Technology (AIMST) scheduling system

Abstract

The purpose of the AIMST project is to produce a scheduling system for AIMST that allows the user to setup scheduling time for selected control unit and monitoring the control unit based on the scheduling time given. The issue that arises is that the AIMST system was developed based on the requirements by AIMST. Therefore the system might have some difficulties to be adapted for other organization or places because different organization might have different needs. Other issue is that the AIMST system interfaces are not well organized and might confuse the users. The intention of the project is to produce a scheduling system based on the AIMST system by enhancing the interfaces and functionalities. The project also intends to tackle the weaknesses of the AIMST system for the enhanced scheduling system. The enhanced scheduling system was developed using Visual Basic programming language and Microsoft Office Access as the system database. The functionalities of the system were modeled and recorded using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and system documents were produced based on DODSTD- 2167-A. The enhanced scheduling system provides users with a standard Window application interfaces such as menu bar and toolbox. The enhanced scheduling system also offering users with the control to system functions based on the user’s need. Users also provided with functions and interfaces to alter the system data such as add, edit and delete function. Documents that have been produced are Software Development Plan (SDP), Software Requirement Specification (SRS), Software Design Document (SDD) and Software Test Description (STD).
