DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM CASE STUDY OF ESWAMA ENUGU

ABSTRACT

The work presents a design of a computerized Waste management information system for ESWAMA administration.  A computerized Waste management information System for ESWAMA administration is concerned with the computerization of Waste records appraisal In order to achieve the aims and objectives of the organization.  The entrance of computer into the Waste management information system for ESWAMA administration will help create and maintain efficient records.  This will also help to fish out “ghost workers”

The design was implemented to facilitate the Waste Information system for a ESWAMA 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 Waste record for the ESWAMA administration.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

            This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to Waste management information system.

            Chapter one talks about introduction to Waste management information 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

Waste information management System (WIMS) refers to both the practice and the study of the activities people perform in order to acquire, organize, maintain, retrieve and use information items such as documents (paper-based and digital), web pages and email messages for everyday use to complete tasks (work-related and not) and fulfill a person’s various roles (as parent, employee, friend, member of community, etc.). One ideal of WIMS is that we always have the right information in the right place, in the right form, and of sufficient completeness and quality to meet our current need. Technologies and tools such as Waste information managers help us spend less time with time-consuming and error-prone activities of WIMS (such as looking for information). We then have more time to make creative, intelligent use of the information at hand in order to get things done or, simply, to enjoy the information itself.

For many people, this ideal seems far away. There are a bewildering number of tools available for managing Waste information. But these tools can become a part of the problem leading to “information fragmentation”. Different devices and applications often come with their separate ways of storing and organizing information.

Interest in the study of WIMS has increased in recent years. One goal in the study of WIM is to identify ways to introduce new tool support without inadvertently increasing the complexity of a person’s information management challenge. The study of WIMS means understanding better how people manage information across tools and over time. It is not enough simply to study, for example, e-mail use in isolation. A related point is that the value of a new tool must be assessed over time and in a broader context of a person’s various WIMS activities.

A Waste information management System (WIMS) is a type of application software that functions as a Waste organizer. As an information management tool, a WIMS’s purpose is to facilitate the recording, tracking, and management of certain types of “Waste information”. Waste information can include any of the following:

Waste notes/journal

Address books

Lists (including task lists)

Significant calendar dates

Appointments and meeting

Reminders

Project management features

Some WIMS software products are capable of synchronizing data with another WIMS over a computer network (including mobile ad-hoc networks, or MANETs). This feature usually does not allow for continuous, concurrent data updates, but rather enables point-in-time updating between different computers, including desktop computers, laptop computers, and Waste digital assistants.

Computer programmers have gone ahead to write a program to assist in the storage of information in a Waste office in a ESWAMA.

 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Owing to:

The difficulties people face in keeping information/data.

Unwillingness attitude of some staff when dealing with data/information.

Fragile nature of information/data.

Difficulties people encountered when searching for a given information.

Time wasted in searching for information on packed files.

Time wasted in sorting files.

Important nature of data/information in the growth of any organization.

The need arise for the development of Waste management information system for ESWAMA.
