COMPUTER REPAIR MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The Computer Repair Facility (CRF) provides maintenance facility for equipments that are brought or purchased by the College officially and, thus registered with the college on ledgers at the SMT and at the inventory cell. These equipments include Computers, Laptops, Printers, Plotters, Scanners, Multimedia devices and Universal Power Supplies etc. Any equipment that is purchased or brought inside the college for official use is assigned a unique Registration No. The CRF maintains their records in the old traditional manner, like in files and registers, manually. The maintenance of data and the retrieval of records from this large number of files is a very cumbersome and difficult job and require lot of time. Sometimes files or registers are misplaced, damaged or unavailable because of human errors due to which the data becomes no more reliable or sufficient. Computer Repair Management Information System (CRMIS) is developed and designed after thorough study of the current working system and the procedures for maintaining the records of the CRF and by observing the weaknesses in the system. Requirements of the potential users of CRMIS like the OIC, HOD, SO NUST, Deputy Commandant, Commandant and especially of the clerical staff have been analyzed comprehensively and successfully been incorporated in CRMIS. The database includes both the relational as well non-relational entities. It is expected that CRMIS will optimize the performance of the CRF by providing the desired information instantly and electronically. It will also enhance the confidence of the command and staff for the management of technical activities of the college in an efficient and effective manner. It has been deployed at Local Servers in the Data Processing Cell and it is running through college LAN.
