Introduction
The project “Billing system” is an application to automate the process of ordering
and billing of a “Departmental store” .This web based application is designed considering
the chain of departmental store which is located in various cities. This application also
administrates its users and customers.
ANALYSIS OF PRESENT SYSTEM
Before we begin a new system it is important to study the system that will be
improved or replaced (if there is one). We need to analyze how this system
uses hardware, software, network and the people resources to convert data
resources, such as transaction data, into information products, such as
reports and displays. Thus we should document how the information system
activities of input, processing, output, storage and control are accomplished.
.PROBLEM OF EXISTING SYSTEM
1. Inability of modification of data: The managing of huge data
effectively and efficiently for efficient results, storing the details of the
consumers etc. in such a way that the database can be modified as not
possible in the current system.
2. Not user friendly: The existing system is not user friendly because
the retrieval and storing of data is slow and data is not maintained
efficiently.
3. Difficulty in reports generating: Either no reports generating in a
current system or they are generated with great difficulty reports take
time to generate in the current system.
4. Manual operator control: Manual operator control is there and lead
to a lot of chaos and errors.
5. Lot of paperwork: Existing system requires lot of paper work and
even a small transaction require many papers fill. Moreover any
unnatural cause (such as fire in the organization) can destroy all data of
the organization. Loss of even a single paper led to difficult situation
because all the papers are interrelated.
6. Inability of sharing the data: Data cannot be shared in the existing
system. This means that no two persons can use the same data in
existing system. Also the two departments in an organization cannot
interact with each other without the actual movement of data.
7. No support in decision-making: Existing system does not support
managerial decision-making.
8. No support in strategic competitive advantage: Existing system do
not support strategic competitive advantages.
TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system ( hardware,
software etc ) and to what extent it can support the proposed system
addition. For example, if the current system is operating at 70% capacity ( an
arbitrary value ), then another application could overload the system or
require additional hardware. If the budget is serious constrain then the
project is judged not feasible.
Conclusion
This was our project of System Design Lab about “Billing System”.
Development of this System takes a lot of efforts from us. We think this system gave a
lot of satisfaction to all of us.
Though every task is never said to be perfect in this development field even more
improvement may be possible in this system.
We learned so many things and gained a lot of knowledge about development field.
We hope this will prove fruitful to us.
