MY ROLE & PARTICIPATION:

As I know that with the theoretical knowledge, the practical knowledge about the

field also has much more importance that’s why the ALLAMA IQBAL OPEN UNIVERSITY, ISLAMABAD has given the project to students in which the practical work is included so that the students can get the knowledge about their relating field beside the bookish knowledge.

This type of research program is basically to broaden the vision of practical

experiences with theoretical knowledge as it increases one’s capabilities to handle

problems at various stages and the ability of decision.

I have chosen TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED for my final report and emphasis

on one of its factory named TOYO NASIC. I did my level best to analyze the TOYO

NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED in order to examine its true position in

the market. I analyzed the various products offered TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS

from its past position.

glass industries in Pakistan I enjoyed my internship period at TOYO NASIC TARIQ

GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED Ferozepur Road Branch. The staff members are very

cooperative and supporting. I worked in the MIS Department with MR. AHSAN

MAJEED (MANAGER MIS) and assisting him. I chose MIS Department because of

the requirement of my degree. I thoroughly study different departments their

functions and specifically focus on the functionalities of the MIS Department as per

my requirement for this report I thoroughly study their system and proposed a

system for the betterment of their system. As well as implement that system in their

MIS department.

Currently a simple database system in Visual FoxPro is working in the MIS

XVIII

database by creating a data warehouse for the existing data. The production

handling the data and quality check.

The system will provide services to the higher administration and management of

the departments of the TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES. The manager or

reports in more descriptive and comprehensive form. He can also execute the

hidden queries in the queries.

System will facilitate the strategic level management of TOYO NASIC TARIQ

GLASS INDUSTRIES to make decisions, forecasting and better strategies. This system

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

This chapter focuses on the System Development Process. What System Development

Process Means, analysis of the current process which is used in the selected

organization, its problems, techniques, problem analysis, requirements analysis, system

design phase as well as its implementations and evaluations & etc.

3.1 SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:-

System Development Process is a set of activities, methods, best practices and

automated tools that are used to develop and continuously improve information

systems and software.

3.1.1 SYSTEM

§ A system is an orderly grouping of interdependent components linked together

according to a plan to achieve a specific objective. Its main characteristics are

organization, interaction, interdependence, integration and a central objective.

§ It is an entity which consists of interdependent parts so that system theory is

concerned with the attributes and relationships of these interacting parts.

§ A definition which applies to business systems is a collection of men, machines

and methods organized to accomplish a set of specific functions.

§ Any group of components (functions, people, activities, events, and so on) that

interface with and complement one another to achieve one or more predefined

goals.

§ A system is a set of interrelated elements that collectively work together to

achieve some common purpose or goal.

§ The term system is derived form the Greek word systems, which means an

organized relationship among functioning units or components exists because it

is designed to achieve one or more objectives.

§ A regular or orderly arrangement of components or parts in a connected and

interrelated series or whole; a series or group of components necessary to some

operation.

3.1.2 INFORMATION SYSTEM

3.2 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION & PROBLEM ANALYSIS

In the TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES Inquiry of limited scope undertaken to

verify whether or not an allegation merits further inquiry as a full investigation.

If we conclude that the idea is interesting, on the basis of the initial material in the

TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES, we will initiate a more thorough analysis in

order to provide the best basis for a decision about a possible investment. Such

preliminary investigation comprises, among other things:

§ Examination of novelty in patent and scientific literature

§ Technical analysis

§ Marketing analysis

§ Evaluation of development costs

§ Identification of business partners

§ Need for additional expertise

§ Definition of business goals company or sale of rights

§ Preparation of plans and budgets for an initial project, if appropriate.

We discuss the outcome of the preliminary investigation in the TOYO NASIC TARIQ

GLASS INDUSTRIES and decide whether idea has the potential or should be sold to a

third party. If so, we proceed with the so-called initial project within the framework.

3.2.1 OBJECTIVE OF PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION:

The objective is to develop Loan Management System which will maintain the total

system in computerized way and generate required report that is very essential in every

single manner.

3.2.2 SCOPE:

§ Providing security to the loan information data.

§ Minimizing the large documentation.

§ Making calculations easy.

§ Easy maintains of Data

§ Reducing the extra manpower and overhead work.

3.2.3 CONSTRAINS:

§ As the current system is completely manual, making it automated need lot of

time by realizing the existing system. The time limitation is one of the greatest

problems in this regard.

§ The system will process lots of transaction. So the calculation part must be

reliable as much as possible.

§ In this organization, there are so many senior employee, who are not familiar

with computerized system and they are not interested to develop a

computerized system.

§ Most of the employee does not have good knowledge about computer. That’s

why some of there expectations are unrealistic.

3.2.4 EXISTING MIS SETUP:

The MIS setup which is currently used in TOYO NASIC is summarized in this figure

below:

3.2.5 CRITICAL ANALYSIS:

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED system development normally

start when a manager and other functional areas personal feel that the current system is

outdated and not meeting the new trends of automation and era specifications.

Preliminary investigation is conducted when manager and other users submit the

request to the MIS department for new system and then such task is assigned to the

analyst to make a preliminary investigation.

3.2.5.1 EXISTING SYSTEM

Currently a simple database system in Visual FoxPro is working in the MIS

Department of TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES, which handle accounts

department and store department. I apply the business intelligence rules on this

database by creating a data warehouse for the existing data. The production department

of appliances division is handled manually and there is computerized database

management system for the department. Therefore, there is problem in handling the

data and quality check.

3.2.5.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

3.3 REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS PHASE:-

The development of a solid foundation is the key to implementing a successful system.

A well-designed system maintains flexibility to accommodate new technologies and

changing user needs over time.

This approach puts significant emphasis of TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES on

understanding and interpreting the user needs and then carefully managing those needs

with management perspective and budgetary requirements.

Login

Define the system's functional architecture in terms of the operations / events that must

be performed in order to meet the mission goals of the system. This proceeds in a topdown

hierarchical nature and is independent of allocation to hardware, software, or

humans. The goal of the function analysis is to assist in defining and allocating

functions to the human that are best suited to their capabilities and limitations.

3.3.2 EXISTING SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS

Requirements analysis beings when management of the TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS

INDUSTRIES LIMITED decides to continue developing the new system on the report of

the analyst. In requirements analysis phase of development of the new proposed

system, traditional approach focusing is on the determining user needs, studying the

application area in depth, assessing the strength and weaknesses of the current system

and work methods and reporting results to the management.

3.4 FEASIBILITY STUDY:

3.4.1 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

In this report, I shall provide the solution to the running system of the organization

named as TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED. This system uses the data

warehousing techniques and models.

A periodic reporting system on the basis of previous data to higher management will

also be a part of the system, which will helpful to them in strategic decision-making. I

have the basic knowledge of Dot NET framework but advance technologies of database

i.e. OLAP, Data warehousing, Data mining and BI are explored and worked on during

the internship progress.

3.4.2 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY

In the project all the database technologies regarding Business intelligence and frontend

development will explore and implemented:

STEP 1: OLTP

§ Analysis of Store department

§ Design of Store department

§ Implementation of Store department

STEP 2: OLAP & DATA WAREHOUSING

§ Analysis of Store department

§ Design of Store department

§ Implementation of Store department

STEP 3: BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (USING .NET)

§ Analysis of Store department

§ Design of Store department

§ Implementation of Store department

§ Testing and deployment of BI system

3.4.3 ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

The main concern here is on the system of the MIS Department of TOYO NASIC

TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED. B y going computerized, TOYO NASIC can

achieve more reliability and accuracy.

A. MAINTAINABILITY

Since I am using .Net Technology therefore it is easy to maintain the whole system

whenever required.

B. COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS

Economic feasibility has been defined as a cost benefit analysis. How do you estimate

the costs and benefits? And how do you compare those costs and benefits to determine

economic feasibility?

C. COSTS FOR DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM

The cost for developing the information system can be classified according to the

phase in which they occur. Systesm development costs are usually applied once.

D. COSTS FOR OPERATING THE SYSTEM

These costs may be fixed (after regular interval but have relatively fixed rates or one

time costs & variable costs occur in proportion to some usage).

3.4.4 SCHEDULED FEASIBILITY

However the scope is flexible and can be extended. Because it is an industrial project

and TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED is such a large company, which

has many departments where we can also implement Business Systems. But we will

meet all the basic requirements of BS in store and production from which a further

useful work is continuing able.

3.5 SYSTEM DESIGN PHASE:-

System design represents how a proposed information system will meet the

information needs of the users, including logical and physical design activities, user

interface, data and process design activities that produce system specifications satisfy

the customer requirements in the system analysis stage.

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED designing phase begins, the

analyst and system development team determines how manual software & hardware

components will perform at logical and physical levels in each of the following areas:

§ Output Requirements.

§ Input requirements.

§ Processing Requirements.

§ Storage Requirements.

§ Procedure Requirements.

§ Personnel Requirements.

3.5.1 RISK ANALYSIS

In developing new projects it is common that risks or uncertainties always exist,

especially in the development of industrial type projects. Our mission is to minimize

the risks up to a possible limit in TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED.

Principal sources of risks include random variations in components and subsystem

performance, inaccurate or inadequate data, wrong information about work flow of

organization, integrity rules, problems in schemas and the inability to forecast things

about project development due to lack of prior experience.

3.5.2 SYSTEM DESIGN:-

Organizations may develop a system in many ways. One single ideal system

methodology is not working properly in all situations. Because some approaches are

better suite for developing small systems then large ones. During my internship in

TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the prototyping approach was used.

Basically TOYO NASIC INFORMATION SYSTEM is small in nature due to the expansion

of its business plant, now they needs medium sized Information System which will

develop soon. The MIS Director of TOYO NASIC says, because the company is not in

such a position to develop a system at once so they use Prototyping approach and the

required modifications are made when required. The main benefit of Prototyping

Approach is that you can develop appropriate system in short time without bear heavy

expense. However the main motive of all good approaches is that,

§ High level of interaction with user’s involvement throughout the development

process.

§ Conscientious attempts to minimize development time and costs.

§ A loyal concern for improving system quality.

§ The use of rigorous and disciplined approach to system development.

§ Production of complete and perfect design specification and documentation.

§ Implementation of system that satisfies the user requirements and is easy to

maintain.

If any one keep in such issues for the development or modification of system ensure

that it reach in its goals.

3.5.3 GUIDELINES FOR IDEAL MIS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:-

The main and basic purpose of the Management Information System is to collate,

summarize and present data / information accurately that enables the managers to the

company to control its operations efficiently.

In the perspective of data gathering the ideal Management Information System has five

layers.

3.5.3.1 DATA SOURCES:

Data sources provide the three main sets of data to be considered.

A. OPERATIONAL:

This provides the actual values of the metrics that you measure to determine the

success of your business.

B. BUDGETS:

Represents short term estimates of the future values of the metrics.

C. FORECASTS:

Represents short term estimates of the future values of the metrics.

3.5.3.2 METRICS.

Define the things that you will measure to monitor the performance of your company.

The values you collect for operations, budget and forecasts provide the raw metric for

the analysis layer of your MIS.

3.5.3.3 ANALYSIS.

Defines how you will transform the raw metric data before presenting it to your

company’s employees. Employees at the lower levels of management in your company

are likely to need access to small subsets of the raw metric data that pertain to their

specific duties. As you move up through the management levels you will need to

summarize a wider range of metric data.

3.5.3.4 PRESENTATION.

Defines how you will present the transformed data to your company’s employees. Most

employees will need a simple dashboard that reflects the scope of their duties. The

dashboard should provide an easy to read display of the values of the key performance

indicators (KPI) for that person. It should be possible for the person to drill down

through any KPI to see the underlying data that determined the displayed value.

3.5.3.5 CONTROL.

Control provides the mechanism by which the employees of the company attempt to

manage the values of the KPLs.

Metric analysis component that provides templates and wizards to help you with the

following:

METRICS:

§ Defining the metrics that will help you measure the operational performance of

your company.

§ Collecting raw metric data (including operational budgets and forecasts.)

CONTROLS:

§ Defining management controls on the values of the metrics.

§ Providing workflow automation mechanism for managing metric values.

We can also build pilot management information system to meet your company’s

needs as part of a comprehensive business management solution. Constructing such a

system would include:

§ Automation of links to your operational data sources to gather raw metric data.

§ Automation of links to your budgets and forecasts data sourced to gather raw

metric data.

§ Creating a tailored analysis suite for your metrics.

§ Creating a tailored presentation suite including employee dashboards.

3.5.4 BENEFITS OF THE APPROACH:-

§ Helps you focus management attention on those things that affect the success of

your company and are subject to your control.

§ Helps you focus the attention of management on appropriate key performance

indicators across the company sending a message to all of your company’s

employees – it tells them what is important and what is expected!

3.5.6 DESIGNING SYSTEM OUTPUTS:-

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED six important factors are

considered in Designing System Output.

§ Content.

§ Form.

§ Timelines

§ Media.

§ Format.

3.5.6.1 CONTENT:

Content refers to the actual pieces of data included among outputs provided to users.

System designers generally put too much content into managerial reports instead of too

little. Too much content can waste a lot of time of the managers by making then isolate

from the information that they need, it also diminishes the impact of truly important

information.

3.5.6.2 FORM:

Form refers to the way that content is presented to the users. Content can be presented

in various forms “quantitative” and “non-quantitative”, text, graphics, audio and video.

The reason behind is that managers prefer to the summary and detailed information in

relative rather than absolute form or in charts from such as pie charts, pie lines or bar

charts.

3.5.6.3 VOLUME:

The term volume is commonly used in technology t measure the amount of activity

taking place at a given time. The amount of data output required at any one time is

known as output volume. Heavy volume often suggest a fast frequently used output

device such as a high speed printer or a rapid retrieval display unit.

3.5.6.4 TIMELINES:

Timelines refers to when users needs outputs. Some outputs are required on regular,

periodic basis (weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually). Manager requires the out put

& get it when they need.

3.5.6.5 MEDIA:

Input output media refers to the physical substance or device used for:

§ Inputs.

§ Storage.

§ Outputs.

Output media choices include Paper, Video, Microfilms, Tape, Disk and Voice.

3.5.6.6 FORMAT:

The method or manner in which data are physically arranged is called a format. Such

arrangements are called output format when referring to data output on printed report

or on a display screen.

3.5.7 DESIGNING SYSTEM INPUTS:-

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED five important factors are

considered in Designing System input.

§ Content.

§ Timelines

§ Media.

§ Format.

§ Volume

3.5.7.1 CONTENT:

Firstly the analyst considers the types of data that need to be gathered to generate user

inputs. This is a complicated process because new proposed system means the new

information and the new information often requires new source of data, which can be

expensive. Sometimes the data needed for new proposed system are not available

within the organization but a close substitute might be.

3.5.7.2 TIMELINES:

Exactly when inputs are entered the system is critical because outputs cannot be

produced until certain inputs are available. So a plan is established regarding different

types of inputs entering the system. Timing logistics are usually most complex in

transaction processing and information reporting system.

3.5.7.3 MEDIA:

Another most important input consideration includes the choices of input media and

subsequently, the device on which to enter the data. Such user input alternatives

includes:

§ Workstations.

§ Magnetic Disks.

§ Keyboards.

§ Pen Based Computers.

§ And Voice.

3.5.7.4 FORMAT:

After the data content and the media requirements are determined, input formats are

considered. When specifying record formats the type and length of each data field, as

well as any other special characteristics are defined and avoid any error.

3.5.7.5 VOLUME:

Input volume refers to the amount of data that is entered in the computer system at any

time. And it is also considered important to determine the size of the input volume such

as light or heavy.

3.5.8 ENTITY RELATION DIAGRAMS

ER Model consists of 31 tables. Here 14 tables are shown in figure below

Here other 12 tables shown from the ER Model

Last 4 tables of ER Model are viewing in this figure

3.5.9 DETERMINING PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS:-

In this phase the project team decides which types of application software products are

needed and consequently which of the degree of processing the system needs to be

handled. This leads the system developers to decision regarding the system software

and computer hardware that most effectively get output for users.

3.5.9.1 APPLICATION SOFTWARE:

Application software’s are the programs that specify the information processing

activities required for the completion of specific tasks of computer users. The analyst

of the output and input usually suggests numerous processing requirements for

application software. These requirements normally address such issues as the basic

functions and capabilities that the software must possess. In TOYO NASIC TARIQ

GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED application software’s are developed according to the

organizations transaction activities, mostly the medium size information system is

developed.

3.5.10 DETERMINING STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:-

In the specification of storage requirements, accessing and organizing data are

considered. We also discuss need storage capacity and physical storage media options

which are identified.

§ Access the Organization.

§ Storage Volume.

§ Media.

3.5.10.1 ACCESS THE ORGANIZATION:

In this phase TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED project team

determines in what way the users will need access stored data sequentially, directly or

both. User access requirements then help determine appropriate data and file

organization methods. In some cases online order or billing require only sequential

access. Mostly business data are organized logically into records. However physical

data placement both file oriented and data processing methods are also organized

sequentially.

3.5.10.2 STORAGE VOLUME:

Storage volume relates t the aggregate of the:

§ Number of Data.

§ Records.

§ Strengths.

§ Sets.

§ Or all such matters are accessible to the users at any time.

Generally system developers determine the total bytes required for the number of

records expected to be stored that byte requirement is double or triple to arrive at total

secondary storage requirements.

3.5.10.3 MEDIA:

Finally the system developers determine the storage media according to the size of

transaction which are as follows:

§ Diskette.

§ Hard Drive.

§ Tape.

§ Optical Disk / USB etc.

Normally for huge volume data storage the media optical disk is more feasible for ruse.

But in TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the hard drive is used for the

data storage.

3.5.11 DEVELOPING PROCEDURE FOR USING SYSTEM:-

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the system design is incomplete

until the procedures for using the system are finished. We define the procedure in this

way “A procedure is set of rules” procedure fall into two major categories:

§ Work Procedure.

§ Control Procedure.

3.5.11.1 WORK PROCEDURE:

This complies several procedures / ways under which it is inducted as the work should

be performed. These are call work procedures.

3.5.11.2 CONTROL PROCEDURE:

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED control procedure indicates how

work should be controlled. In computerized information system several controls must

be implemented to ensure the secrecy and security and accuracy of the data.

§ SECURITY CONTROL:-

Security control ensuring to eliminate the risk of unauthorized access of data, for

eliminating such risk we use the password, protection, mechanism etc.

§ ACCURACY CONTROL:-

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED computer information system

used the audit trail for the accuracy of the data so that accurate complete information is

stored. Audit is used to certify both the correctness of account balances and adherence

to a set of procedures or standards. Audit trails are used to trace the computer system

outputs back to original source documents.

§ PRIVACY CONTROL:-

Regarding technology, privacy control ensures the protection of people’s rights

regarding how information about them is suppressed or used.

3.5.12 DETERMINE PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS:-

In this phase we discuss personal specification for the personnel involve:

§ Work Description.

§ Personal Qualification.

§ Training.

3.5.12.1 WORK DESCRIPTION:

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the most critical personal related

specification involves the work that people perform during their job. Total business

operations are divided into well defined goals and then those tasks are combined into

job. Each job must be feasible from the organization point of view as well as

responsible in accordance with the individual’s capabilities.

3.5.12.2 QUALIFICATIONS:

When jobs are defined qualification is another taster for individual who fill those jobs.

For example, for the post of data entry operator the keyboard skill is necessary, etc.

3.5.12.3 TRAINING:

Training of the personnel is a major ongoing cost that is considered when the system is

being designed. For the new system software and hardware the training of the personal

is done for the purpose of getting desired results from the software.

TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT APPROACH FOR SYSTEM DESIGN &

IMPLEMENTATION:-

PROTOTYPING APPROACH FOR SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:-

3.6 END USER DEVELOPMENT:-

With the increase availability of low cost technology, end user end user development

on of them. In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the end user

development, it is the end user not the computer professional who is responsible for

systems development. The number and nature of systems development activities

followed by the end user often differ from those found in more formal approaches.

Three way in which end user development might be implemented, “Traditional

Approach”, “Prototyping” and an intuitive approach”.

3.6.1 FAVORING CIRCUMSTANCES OF PROTOTYPE APPROACH:

A system under development is local rather than enterprise wide.

§ The system under development is inexpensive.

§ A suitable environment of end user development tools and professional

expertise is available.

§ Standards exist to maximize divergent efforts by the end users and other danger

to the organization.

§ High levels of security are not necessary for the system being developed.

§ The system under development involves numerous customized queries and

reports.

§ The system under development can easily be built and supported by the end

user.

§ The system under development does not involve high volume transaction

processing.

§ The development time is short and cannot be accommodated by the MIS

department.

§ The user must be heavily involved in the development process.

3.6.2 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION:

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED after data gathering and choosing

the hardware, software and services necessary to operate the system, the system

implementation phase of development begins. Implementation phase consists of the

following activities:

§ Scheduling.

§ Program Coding, Debugging and Testing.

§ Training.

§ Conversion.

3.6.2.1 SCHEDULING:-

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED to ensure that the system will

work by a certain date the analyst must prepare an implementation timetable. In this

time table, all the activities are desirable as how the implementation must start and

finished.

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED a detailed implementation

timetable is often essential to develop management confidence in the installation plan

and to ensure uninterrupted operations during the implementation period.

3.6.2.2 PROGRAM CODING, DEBUGGING AND TESTING:-

PROGRAM CODING. Coding is the process of writing that can run the computer

Hardware.

CODING & DESIGN TOOLS. Three coding and design tools are widely recognized as

potentially making programmers more productive are:

I. Structure Programming Techniques.

II. Software Prototype.

III. Object Oriented Programming.

I. STRUCTURE PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES.

“A set of program design and coding tools developed throughout in 1970 which

provide programmers with a well defined and familiar set of structure.”

Using structure techniques, programs can be written in a systematic, standard style,

thereby reducing development time and errors plus making programs more

maintainable.

II. SOFTWARE PROTOTYPE.

The quickly coded 4GL program is called prototype software. The 4Gl product that

facilitates creation of software prototypes is an application generator. Application

generators and software prototypes are useful when users are not exactly sure what

they want and what time is a limiting factor in software development.

III. OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING.

An object oriented programming used to developed programs that create and use

objects to perform information processing tasks.

PROGRAM DEBUGGING. Debugging is a methodical process of finding and reducing the

number of bugs, or defects, in a computer program or a piece of electronic hardware

thus making it behave as expected. Debugging tends to be harder when various

subsystems are tightly coupled, as changes in one may cause bugs to emerge in

another.

PROGRAM TESTING. Testing (sometimes called compliance testing) is that part of an

internal control review which assesses whether actual practice follows, or complies

with, prescribed policies and procedures. The assessment is made by interviewing or

observing staff, following a transaction through the process, or sampling

documentation of transactions to determine if required steps are executed.

3.6.2.3 TRAINING:

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED meteorology, training is when a

successive series of showers or thunderstorms moves repeatedly over the same area,

usually causing some form of flooding, especially flash floods. Often, this happens

when a line of rain or storms forms along a stationary front, and moves down the

length of the front, while the front is stalled. It is named so because this is similar to the

way train cars move down a track in a line, over and over the same point, without the

track moving.

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED with the burst of activity in end

user computing and the appearance of new tools for computer professional, training is

becoming a major component of implementation sector.

The main object of training is that the users are well known to operate the program

according to the specification.

3.6.2.4 CONVERSION:

The initial operation of a new computer based system can be a difficult task. Such

operation is usually a conversion process in which the Hardware, Software, People,

Network and data Resources of an old information system must be converted to the

requirements of a new information system. This usually involves a Parallel, Phased,

Pilot or Plunge conversion process from the old to new system. Four major forms of

conversion are as follows:

I. Parallel Conversion.

II. Phased Conversion.

III. Pilot Conversion.

IV. Plunge or Direct Cutover.

I. PARALLEL CONVERSION.

Conversion can be done on a Parallel basis, whereby the old and new system are

operated until the project development team and end user management agree to switch

completely over to the new system. During this time the operation and result of both

systems are compared and evaluated. Errors can be identified and corrected and the

operating problems can be solved before the old system is abandoned.

II. PHASED CONVERSION.

The phase conversion can be allows a gradual implementation processes to take place

with an organization.

III. PILOT CONVERSION.

In pilot conversion where one department or other serves as test site. A new system can

be tried out at this site until developers feel it can be implemented throughout the

organization.

IV. PLUNGE OR DIRECT CONVERSION.

The installation of the new system can be accomplishes by a direct cutover plunge to

the new developed system.

3.7 SYSTEM EVALUATION:-

In TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED the performance and worth of the

MIS department is assessed in the following ways:

3.7.1 PERIODIC PERFORMANCE REPORTS:

Periodic reports describes how much the MIS department performed with respect to staying

within planned spending limits.

3.7.1.1 USER SURVEY:

The user surveys such as questioner and interviews indicate about the performance of the MIS

department. So in this way head of the department knows about the feed back of the system.

And if any problem is found he tries to resolve it.

3.7.1.2 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE:

The main object of the system performance is that is the workstation working properly or not?

Is the system performing task or not? If not, then remedial action is taken to victory.

3.7.1.3 EARLY WARNING SIGNALS:

Early warning signals means that some thing is seriously wrong. In this way the MIS staff

evaluates the system & removes the miss-happening / errors on the spot.

3.7.1.4 OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS:

If MIS is performing in commensurate plan it means the system is running effectively.

§ MIS department is facing overload of work.

§ Insufficient coordination of information among the departments.

§ The trouble shooting complaints are increased day by day.

CONCLUSION

TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED is the monopolistic organization of

Glass products in Pakistan launches versatile glass products in local market and export

to the other countries and now exports its glass products to European countries. TOYO

NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED launches the aggressive market strategies to

increase its sales volume.

TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED has still some short falls in its

system. The Managing Director of the firm is determined to overcome such short

comes and develop the organization as MODEL ORGANIZATION. Employees

believe that management takes action in span time for job satisfaction. The channel of

the communication and other information are not followed properly by different

departments which is the main cause of reducing the end user’s productivity.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Following are the suggestions to further enhance and update the quality of the MIS

department of TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED.

§ The immediate need is to modify or develop the new system as per demand of

the time so that further requirements are met accordingly.

§ Made the system easy and end user friendly.

§ Provide high quality services and system documentation for all end users.

§ Improve the user interface and user training program in order to enhance end

user productivity.

§ Improve the sharing of data among the departments.

§ Close down plug-in the communication gaps between different departments.

§ Increase the latest Pc’s on the job.

§ Recruit new and trained employees to decrease the work load on current

employees.

§ Proper maintenance of the system.

§ Use the high speed technology which is basic need of a good information

system.

§ The staff must be properly trained and skilled. Secondly, the right person

should be put to the right job so that the customer may be satisfied with the

conduct and performance of the staff.

§ Appointment on key post should not be made on political basis because people

appointed in this way are not only capricious minded but they also cast bad

reflection upon the reputation of the organization.

§ Maximum incentive in the form of profit and counter services should be offered

to the customers. Consequently, such incentives would bring more and more

business in return.

§ Customer satisfied with the counter service proves an asset to the organization.

Therefore, utmost care should be taken while dealing with the customers at the

counter. The staff at the counter must be highly skilled and trained according to

the changing trends of the world.

§ Fair appraisal system must be introduced. Equality appeals to everyone while

injustice discourages every qualified, hardworking and conscientious employee.

§ Every eligible employee should be rewarded according to his merit. All the

above suggestions will earn a good reputation and goodwill for the

organization.
