CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Currently, Nekta Company keeps manual records on paper. Farmer’s records, details of
honey products, accessories, and records of commodities transported are all maintained using
manual system with very minimal automation. The computerized database management system
will replace this manual inefficient system and store and manage all this records seamlessly and
more efficiently.

This report contains the complete project documentation for the proposed computerized
database management system to be implemented at Nekta Company. The proposed computerized
system is to replace the manual inefficient system with a computerized database management
system to help Nekta Company lower on its production and running costs. The proposed
database system was developed using Microsoft Access 2016. This project documentation report
was prepared using Microsoft Word 2016.

This project report outlines in details all the steps that were taken during the development
of the computerized database system. It also includes the analysis of both the current manual
system and the proposed computerized system to establish whether the development of the
proposed system was- viable. Also, a detailed analysis and design of the proposed system is also
included in this documentation.

A user guide is provided to help the user of the proposed system easily learn how to use
and navigate through the proposed system. Details of how to troubleshoot the system are also
available in the documentation.

Chapter 2: System Analysis


Problem Recognition and Definition
Nekta is a company that deals with beekeeping and selling of honey. The company offers
the following services:

• Selling of beehives and associated accessories to bee farmers;

• Setting up of the beehives for the bee farmers;

• Offering of training on beekeeping;

• Buying of honey-related products from farmers for resale

The company sells beekeeping accessories in three packages namely: single hive, mini
package and full package as per the following descriptions:

• A single hive is one beehive and its associated accessories for setting up.

• A mini package consists of six beehives, harvesting accessories, beehive setting


up and training for one person for one day

• A full package consists of twelve beehives and a honey extractor. It also includes
training for two people for one day and honey harvesting kit for two people.

Other services offered by the company are:

• Training at a cost of KSh 7,000 per person

• Sale of accessories at KSh 2,500 per unit

• Sale of honey harvesting kits at KSh 600 per unit

• Sale of honey extractors at KSh 13,000 per unit.

The company also buys honey from farmers at KSh 900 per kg and bee products at KSh
1,200 per kg, for further processing and subsequent sales to consumers. A farmer whose sales is
below KSh 20,000 is paid in cash, while sales between KSh 20,000 and KSh 80,000 are paid by
mobile money transfer. Any sales exceeding KSh 80,000 are paid via Electronic Funds Transfer
(EFT).

lOMoARcPSD|51665584

A farmer seeking services from the company is required to provide personal details. The
details are captured and the farmer is required to make full payments for the services sought.
Once the payment has been verified, services are approved and offered. If the payment is for
training services, the trainee is then provided with the training schedule. The company also
provides transport services to farmers and are charged based on the destination and the quantity
of the items.

The company intends to use a database to manage their operations. The problem at hand
is to develop a well-documented computerized database system for the company that would
replace the current manual system at Nekta Company.

Analysis of the existing system


Overview of the existing system
Currently, Nekta Company runs a manual information management system. All records
are stored in papers and counter books. When a farmer registers with the company, his or her
details are captured and recorded in a registration counter book. This books are later shelved in
book shelves and file cabinets. Other information is also captured in physical files which are
arranged in file cabinets.

As a result of using the manual system, too much storage space is needed. Four rooms
have been set aside for storage of files and counter books and as more farmers are registered and
more transactions done, more storage space is needed.

Computations involving bee products purchase, transport order bookings and training
sessions booking are done using pen and paper or using an electronic calculator. This is prone to
errors that causes the company to loose funds. There is very minimal mechanization of
processes. The company has a photocopier that is used to make copies of certain documents
when needed. Also, the company has a few computers for processing different word documents
and preparing various reports although there is no automated system to generate the periodical
reports.

Backup of the company’s information is done by creating multiple copies of the physical
documents and filing them in separate file cabinets. This process is not automated and it is to the

lOMoARcPSD|51665584

company. Since backups are physical copies of the original documents, in case of a disaster such
as fire outbreak, the information might be destroyed.

Weaknesses of the existing system


i. Requires large office space for storage

ii. It is prone to data errors

iii. Difficult to do system backup

iv. It is expensive to maintain

Analysis of the proposed system


Overview of the proposed system
The proposed solution is a computerized database management system will be developed
in Microsoft Access 2016. The system will allow the company to automate the majority of its
current manual processes. The computerized system will maintain the company’s records using
computers to ensure accuracy, proper utilization of office space and saving on cost of
maintenance. The system will automatically compute payments to farmers, bee products and
services sales and purchase information fast and accurately

Records of all bee products transported will be properly recorded and maintained in the
database system. The proposed system will also calculate the total company expenses, income
from sale of bee products and accessories, income from trainings and transport services to
farmers automatically. Also, all the training schedules will be managed from the electronic
database. Only one employee will be required to run and maintain the database system and this
will greatly save on salary for hiring more staff as is with the current manual system.

Objectives of the proposed system


General Objective
To develop a computerized database management system to replace the manual system at
the Nekta Company

Specific objectives
i. Analyze the requirements of Nekta Company and come up with the relevant fields
for the company database.

Downloaded by Duncan Wanjala ([email protected])


lOMoARcPSD|51665584

ii. To develop a computerized database system that will maintain details of bee
farmers, bee products and accessories sold to farmers, honey and bee products
purchased from farmers, trainings delivered to farmers and goods transported
iii. To automate the process of calculating various expenses and income at Nekta
Company.
iv. To automate the generation of various reports by Nekta Company.

Benefits of the proposed system


i. The computerized database system will be easier to back up on the cloud backup
platforms such as google drive. This will ensure that the company has a means to
recover its information in case of security breaches or destruction of the original
database.
ii. The proposed system is more secure than the manual system as the database will
be encrypted by a password to restrict unauthorized persons from accessing the
database.
iii. The computerized database system will be easier to back up on the cloud backup
platforms such as google drive. This will ensure that the company has a means to
recover its information in case of security breaches or destruction of the original
database.

iv. The proposed system will provide a large digital storage space for maintenance of
Nekta Company records. Since the information will be stored in computers, very
small office space will be need.
v. The proposed system is cheaper to maintain as compared with the current manual
system.
vi. The proposed system will ensure accuracy of the information and calculations
performed and maintained by Nekta Company since most of the operations will
be automated with very minimal human intervention.
vii. It will be easier to search for particular records or information from the proposed
system.
viii. It will be easier to search for particular records or information from the proposed
system.

Feasibility Study
a) Technical Feasibility
From the technical feasibility study conducted, Nekta Company possesses computers, but
they are old computer models that would not support the planned system properly. It was
suggested to the management of the Nekta Company that new computers be purchased on which
the projected database would be developed. Furthermore, the personnel of Nekta Company have
received computer training and possess the necessary computer skills to operate the
recommended system.

b) Schedule Feasibility
This project was schedule to be developed within seven (7) months from April 2022 up to
October 2022. This was enough time for development and implementation of the project.

iii. Comparing the cost for running the two systems


The proposed system’s initial investment cost is KSh. 245, 040. This cost will be
inclusive of the cost for running the proposed system for the first year of its implementation.

The proposed system is projected to be used for seven (7) years. The subsequent cost for
running the system in each of the subsequent years is broken down as follows:

⮚ Cost for printing papers: 500 * 3 * 12 months = 18 000


⮚ Maintenance cost per year = 24 000

16

Downloaded by Duncan Wanjala ([email protected])


lOMoARcPSD|51665584

⮚ Salary for the system operators = 20 000 * 12 months = 240 000

Total = 282 000

In 7 years the proposed system will cost:

⮚ Initial investment: 245 040


⮚ Running cost: 282 000 * 6
⮚ Total = 1 937 040

The cost for running the manual system in seven years is:

⮚ 132 200 * 12 Months * 7 Years = 11 104 800


⮚ Amount saved if proposed system is implemented = 11 104 800 – 1 937 040 = 9
167 760

From the above, it is evident that although the initial implementation cost for the
proposed system is high, its running cost is very small compared to the current system. Nekta
Company will save KSh. 9, 167, 760 in seven years if the proposed system is implemented.
Therefore, the implementation of the proposed system was approved since the project proved to
be economically feasible by the management of Nekta Company.

Conclusion
The development of the Nekta Management System went well and was completed on
schedule. The Nekta Management System was created specifically for the Nekta Company's
needs. If fully deployed, the technology will assist Nekta Company in reducing the costs
associated with their present manual system. This technology will also assist the organization in
becoming more productive by assisting them in improving their operations.

Recommendations
The system is ready for use and can be implemented immediately using phased change
over strategy to minimize on the risk of failure and ensure every stakeholder is comfortable when
using the system. Also, the database should be installed on a computer that has an up-to-day
antivirus software installed to ensure the security of the database.

I recommend that Nekta Company to use the system effectively since it will reduce the
inaccurate data processing and to maintain the system by installing antivirus software to prevent
the system from the viruses. Also they should be creating backups for the updates.
