ABSTRACT
The
work presents a design of a computerized assets management system. A Computerized assets management system is
concerned with the computerization of environmental records appraisal UNION
HOME Assets in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the
organization. The entrance of computer
into the computerized assets management system will help create and maintain
efficient records. The design was
implemented to facilitate the computerized assets management system for administration. It will be less time wasting and cheap to
run.
It
is expected that if full consent is given to this, it will enhance the Information
of Assets management record of the administration.
ORGANIZATION
OF WORK
This
project work is primarily designed to give an insight to computerized assets
management system.
Chapter one
talks about introduction to Computerized assets management system, study of
problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.
Chapter two
comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information
about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the
design and implantation of new system.
Chapter six
document the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.

INTRODUCTION
Computerized
assets management is an accounting
process that seeks to track assets for the purposes of financial
accounting, preventive
maintenance, and theft
deterrence.
Many organizations face a
significant challenge to track the location, quantity, condition, maintenance
and depreciation status of
their fixed assets. A popular approach to tracking fixed assets utilizes serial
numbered Asset Tags, often with bar codes for easy and
accurate reading. Periodically, the owner of the assets can take inventory with
a mobile barcode
reader and then produce a report.
Off-the-shelf software packages
for fixed asset management are marketed to businesses small and large. Some Enterprise
Resource Planning systems are available with fixed assets modules.
Some tracking methods automate
the process, such as by using fixed scanners to read bar codes on railway freight cars or by
attaching a radio-frequency
identification (RFID) tag to an asset.
Tracking
assets is an important concern of every company, regardless of size. Fixed
assets are defined as any ‘permanent’ object that a business uses internally
including but not limited to computers, tools, software, or office equipment.
While employees may utilize a specific tool or tools, the asset ultimately
belongs to the company and must be returned. And therefore without an accurate
method of keeping track of these assets it would be very easy for a company to
lose control of them.
With advancements in technology,
asset tracking software is now available that will help any size business track
valuable assets such as equipment and supplies. According to a study issued in
December, 2005 by the ARC Advisory Group, the worldwide market for Enterprise
Asset Management (EAM) was then at an estimated $2.2 billion and was expected
to grow at about 5.0 percent per year reaching $2.8 billion in 2010.
Asset tracking software allows
companies to track what assets it owns, where each is located, who has it, when
it was checked out, when it is due for return, when it is scheduled for
maintenance, and the cost and depreciation of each asset.
The reporting option that is
built into most asset tracking solutions provides pre-built reports, including
assets by category and department, check-in/check-out, net book value of
assets, assets past due, audit history, and transactions.
All of this information is
captured in one program and can be used on PCs as well as mobile devices. As a
result, companies reduce expenses through loss prevention and improved
equipment maintenance. They reduce new and unnecessary equipment purchases, and
they can more accurately calculate taxes based on depreciation schedules.
The most commonly tracked assets
are:
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The main problem of this study was
to examine and evaluate the physical, social and economic effect of the school
assets and its uses in its present location and recommend solution to the
problems identified, because there has been series of criticism against the
manner by which assets are being handled and maintained. The problems are:
improper accounting for school assets, illegal use of the institutional assets,
inefficient recording keeping of institutional assets.
- PURPOSE OF STUDY
The main purpose of this study is
to put to an end the difficulties encountered when processing school Assets data/information.
This is actualized by designing a Computerized assets management system which
is user friendly and interactive. By the time this software is designed and
implemented, the difficulties encountered with manual method of keeping
information will be eliminated.
- SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
Huge of files kept in the offices will no longer be there again because information will be stored on the computer with the help of the Computerized assets management system.
Because of the easy to use nature of the Computerized assets management system, any organization can easily buy it to make use of them.
- AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of this project are listed below:
To develop software called Computerized assets management system that will replace the manual method of handling assets.
To eliminate the error involved with the manual storage of Assets management data/information.
To save the time wasted when searching or sorting a given Assets management data/information.
To remove untidy nature of Assets management offices because of huge number of files scattered all over.
