Operation management system for security department of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia(OMS-UTMSD)

Abstract

Security Department of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, City Campus, Kuala Lumpur is an important unit that ensures the security and safety of the institution. The department currently uses a poorly created web-based application to handle its daily tasks of surveillance, security checks and movement control. Therefore, a new system is necessary to enhance the security operations. This project developed an Operation Management System (OMS-UTMSD) with appropriate Software Engineering practice, complete with Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and Software Design Description (SDD). This project employed the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) standards to meet the project’s objective of refining the old version to coincide with current quality requirements. This web-based application was found to be suitable for addressing most manual daily tasks. The system was reengineered to comply with Software Engineering rules the final outcome satisfies all users’ requirements, and suited to security management of staff, students, contractors and visitors. The system is capable of working round the clock (24 hours a day, 7 days a week). It now forms the backbone of the department for the generation and management of most security functions online.
