Plant, Machinery and Vehicle Management System for Maga Engineering (Pvt) Ltd.

Abstract

Maga Engineering was founded by M. G. Kularatne, who envisioned building a model construction company in the region. During the early 1980s, Maga entered the local construction sector satisfying the high demand for engineering and construction services, as Sri Lanka pursued rapid development via an open economy. Working alongside some of the largest construction companies in the world, Maga gained valuable insight on construction management. As Maga grew, Maga invested in plants and machinery for major construction, but there are no system to monitor or manage them. Because of this situation there are lot of plants and machinery idling at sites with making a lot of cost for the project. This system will manage asset details, supplier details, insurance details, asset utilization and its history details. System will connect all the sites those all over the island with the head office. Main problems which will overcome by this solution are, lack of details about assets, bill processing and unavailability of asset utilization details. This solution also supports for tracking idling plant, machinery and vehicles, user privilege management, provide ability to raise machinery requisitions and also respond them with allocating assets for them. Also system is notify about asset requests, allocations, transfers and insurance expiries through the system and by an email to the related system user when user attention is required. Because of this feature users are always get connected with the system. This system enables all the project managers and coordinators to view their project details through the system for plan their work and minimize machinery idling at sites while they achieve their business goals and future business improvements by better decision making. The System was developed according to the Rational Unified Process model which supports Object Orientation and iterative development. also developed using NetBeans IDE 8.0 and MySQL Server 5 as the database server. Easily manipulated the database by using MySql Workbench 6.1 CE. The Object Oriented methodologies were used and Java used as the coding language Java. ArgoUML and Visual Paradigm were used for designing diagrams and Reports designed using ireport. The system enables to control the accessibility of information relevant to the users who deal with this system & will ensure about the security of the information. also minimized plant, machinery idling at sites and project managers are archiving their business goals easily by using the system.
