CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

    1. Background of the Study

A courier service is an organization which offers special deliveries of packages, money, documents or information. Courier services usually boast faster delivery times than any alternative method of transporting documents, and many services in the modern world rely on them.

The idea of couriers and a courier service has been around almost as long as civilization, with rulers in antiquity using couriers as a means to make new laws and edicts known throughout their lands. In the modern age of international business, the courier service has become a keystone of enterprise, even as emerging technologies such as the fax machine and Internet have rendered them less useful in some areas.

The largest courier service in the world is the United Parcel Service (UPS), which delivers more than 12 million packages globally each day. UPS has its roots as a courier service in the beginning of the 20th century, when it was known as the American Messenger Company. UPS survived the depression and the World Wars, and went on to thrive in the global age.

Throughout the years it acquired other courier services, including the Motorcycle Messengers and a number of smaller European companies. Federal Express (FedEx) and DHL are other well-known global examples of the courier service, both with their roots in the early 1970s. Though not nearly as large as UPS, each company controls sizable portions of the market. FedEx is particularly well-respected for its overnight courier service, the first of its kind. DHL originally focused exclusively on the route between Honolulu and San Francisco in the United States, but grew to encompass the Pacific Rim and spread to Europe and the Middle East. Smaller courier services abound, particularly in cities.

This type of courier service finds its niche in smaller packages and documents which need to be transported from one location in a city to another as quickly as possible. Couriers in these companies often ride bicycles or motorcycles in order to achieve the shortest turnaround times from pickup to delivery.

Indeed, the bicycle messenger, whizzing through crowded traffic at unbelievable speeds with a satchel over one shoulder, has become a symbol of the youthful daredevilry of city life. In recent years, with the emergence of more sophisticated communications technologies and harsh price competitiveness, the number of bicycle couriers in most cities has decreased significantly, but the market remains strong for those who continue to work.

There is also a type of courier service which utilizes the extra baggage allotment of airline passengers to transport documents quickly and easily, with less hassle, through the Customs office of a country. These courier services offer greatly discounted fares on commercial tickets to foreign locations in exchange for the use of the passenger’s baggage space. The passenger is then given all the requisite paperwork, which they simply deliver to the Customs agent at the receiving end.

Though technology has replaced many traditional uses of the courier service, there still exists a constant need to transport physical goods and documents over both short and long distances as quickly as possible. Barring the development of some sort of far-fetched teleportation technology, it seems certain that the demand for a courier

1.2     Statement of the Problem
Keeping record of parcels in a courier service company and their delivery information is carried out manually. A lot of files are opened for daily record of parcel received or delivered. This litters the office with much paper documents. Most often records are misplaced and when a client comes to collect his parcel, heshe spend some hours waiting for confirmation of the parcel. Hence delay is bound to occur while delivering parcel to customers.

Abstract

In the Nigeria, the driving licence is the official document which authorises its holder to operate various types of motor vehicle on highways and some other roads to which the public have access. In Nigeria, they are administered by the Road Safty. A driving licence is required in Nigeria by any person driving a vehicle on any highway or other road defined in s.192 Road Traffic Act 1988 irrespective of ownership of the land over which the road passes thus including many which allow the public to pass over private land.

National driver’s license registration and management system is a research work aimed at studying the registration system in Nigeria, identifying the setbacks, and developing a system that will make use of computerization to enhance driver’s license registration and authentication.

This will in many ways facilitate proper documentation of driver’s license registration and licensing in Nigeria. It will also help Road safety commission track people who are not suppose to drive vehicles due to non issuance of driver’s license.

Hence the implementation will help to generate revenue to government and facilitate timely licensing of driver’s license. The methodology adopted will involve the use of computer for the data capture and the program will be implemented using php-myql,html,jquery.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     Background of the Study
In Bretain, the minimum driving age for a car or van is 17 while a moped or restricted-power motorcycle can be ridden at 16. Anyone receiving Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate (mobility component) may drive a car or van from the age of 16. Until a United Kingdom driving test (which consists of three sections: theory and a hazard perception test followed by a supervised driving examination) has been passed a driver may hold only a provisional licenceand be subject to certain conditions.
The conditions attached to provisional licences of a particular category of vehicle are:

  • L-plates or (in Wales only) D plates (Welsh: Dysgwr) must be conspicuously displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle.
  • Learner drivers of a particular category and transmission type of vehicle must be accompanied by somebody aged at least 21 who has held a full driving licence for that category and transmission type for at least three years, except in the case of solo motorcycles and vehicles of certain categories designed solely for one person.
  • No trailer may be towed, except when driving a tractor or where a full licence gives provisional entitlement to drive a car with trailer, large goods vehicle with trailer or bus with trailer.
  • Motorcycle riders must not carry any pillion passenger.
  • Bus drivers must not carry any passenger except a person giving or receiving instruction.
  • Motorways must not be used by holders of car and motorcycle provisional licences, excluding B+E learner drivers.

In Northern Ireland, learner drivers are limited to a speed of 45 mph (72 km/h), and drivers who have passed their test within the previous year must display “R” plates (restricted) and are also limited to a speed of 45 mph (72 km/h) until the expiry of the restricted period. “R” plates are similar in style to “L” plates, with a thick-set dark orange R displayed on a white background.
After passing a driving test, the provisional licence may be surrendered within two years in exchange for a full UK licence for the relevant kind of vehicle. Full car licences allow use of mopeds and motorcycles provided a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) course is completed (the requirement to have a CBT in Northern Ireland was introduced on 21 Feb 2011). There are no restrictions on newly passed drivers in England, Wales or Scotland (unlike Northern Ireland), but if a newly qualified driver is given six penalty points within two years of passing, the licence is automatically cancelled and the driver must pass the full test again. The six points remains on the new licence until their designated expiry time. It is optional to display newly passed green on white ‘P’ (for Probationer) plates on the vehicle of newly passed drivers.

Motor car licences issued in the United Kingdom distinguish between automatic and manual transmission vehicles dependent upon whether or not a driving test was passed in a vehicle with manual transmission (unless a vehicle test was taken in the UK before such discrimination was made). Whilst a manual transmission vehicle licence permits the holder to drive a vehicle of either kind, an automatic transmission vehicle licence is solely for vehicles with automatic transmission. The licence also shows if a driver requires glasses or contact lenses to meet the legal driving requirements, if known.
Forklift trucks require a separate licence, issued by third-party training companies rather than the DVLA/DSA, which regulate all other vehicles.
Whilst the DVLA has included Welsh on driver licences issued in Wales for many years, requests for Scots Gaelic – also an official language in the UK – to be included on licences issued to drivers resident in Scotland have so far been rejected.

1.2     Statement of the Problem
Driver’s licensing is a job that requires accuracy of data and this exercise is required for every new registration. So a lot of people bring their vehicle to licensing office for registration and driver’s licensing, hence, resulting to the large crowd that is always witnessed in licensing office. This was when the manual system was still in use. Therefore, going by this method of issuing license to drivers, licensing officers encounter a lot of problems which includes:
1.       Multiple registration
2.       Delay in issuing driving license to vehicle owners.
4.       Irregular renewal of driver’s license
5.       Lost of revenue by government due to fake registration papers .

Whilst the DVLA has included Welsh on driver licences issued in Wales for many years, requests for Scots Gaelic – also an official language in the UK – to be included on licences issued to drivers resident in Scotland have so far been rejected.

1.2     Statement of the Problem

Driver’s licensing is a job that requires accuracy of data and this exercise is required for every new registration. So a lot of people bring their vehicle to licensing office for registration and driver’s licensing, hence, resulting to the large crowd that is always witnessed in licensing office. This was when the manual system was still in use. Therefore, going by this method of issuing license to drivers, licensing officers encounter a lot of problems which includes:

1.       Multiple registration

2.       Delay in issuing driving license to vehicle owners.

4.       Irregular renewal of driver’s license

5.       Lost of revenue by government due to fake registration papers

1.3    Objectives of the Project

The objective of this study is to design a system that will assist Licensing Office to issue driver’s license to vehicle owners. So the new system will among other things:

1.       Captures and stores data for driver’s license issuance.

2.       Create database for registering new driver’s license

3.       Print drivers license to vehicle owners.

4        Detect double registration.

1.4     Significance of the Study

Driver’s license registration system has held confidentiality, integrity and availability to be the core principles of information security. In the research work carried out, the following are some of the benefits the government will derive from the new system designed.

  1. Confidentiality: The system attempts to enforce confidentiality by detecting double registration during transactions, and use it to track registration information.
  2. Integrity: In information system, integrity means that data cannot be modified undetectably. So, the system designed enables data protection from unauthorised users.
  3. Availability: For any information system to serve its purpose, the information must be available when it is needed. The registration system developed is made available for remote access. Hence it is available for use at any time and from any location.
  4. Authenticity: The data capture in the new system makes drivers license registration authentic as no two persons can share the same data. So, this will remove the issue of double registration.

1.5     Scope of the Study

Licensing Office is responsible for collecting all the state revenue including tax, business permit, vehicle license, driver’s license, etc. This project work will cover all aspect of driver’s license registration.

 

1.6     Limitation of Study     

The research work is limited in various capacities:-

  1. Time given for this research work was too short; hence the researcher was unable to widen the scope of the research.
  2. Only few registration offices could be approached physically and during data collection thereby limiting the no of staff interviewed.
  3. The procurement of classified documents from Road safety commission and the desired operators was a very difficult task.

ABSTRACT

This project work, is a computerization of cash receipt system of an organization. It entails maintaining database files of different sources of receipt whose scope and limitation are based on.

Sales and purchases Receipts/Invoices inquiry on Total Balance and generation of report.

But before we venture into that, attention should be drawn to the introductory part, the literature review and later the analysis of the existing system and the design of the new system.

Since, there is constrain in time, this project will not go on exhaustive treatment of every expected module, rather will represent only sales and purchases receipt modules with two other operational modules subset of the broad menu.

Nevertheless, there is provision for onward development of those expected modules and for other sources of receipts and other operations to suit any organization.

It is not the intention here to treat each module separately hence the entire project is menu driven to cover some of the facilities present.

Lastly, it is an optimistic fact that after going through the text, one would be able to

  1. Know what is achieved
  2. Having a clear knowledge of the project organization in relation to other sources and problems.

1.0     INTRODUCTION

          Cash receipt generating system is a viable source in any business organization and ventures and so on, its main purpose is to maintain a more reliable records of money coming into the organization firm and money going out from the firm. This is look upon the view that the business organization must have that exchange market with each other. It is a sore fact that the most have been a contract of which, there is an obligatory task that stands the terms of agreement it could be a payment to their client or partners or from their client who pays into their own account. Another thing matters weather it will be cash without remark balance or install mental and how many installment it is going to be.

This is clearly stated in the organization activities and manner of operation. When ever there is payment, there is also the issuing of receipts this is centered on the writing of what each party has in stock.

1.1     JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

          For there to be a computerized business operation, the business most be look upon in new way of existence. No only being concerned with customers, prices output and so forth one should also consider the fact that data forms, information flows, procedures etc. it is momentous on the basic fact that computers are used as a coexisting element to information systems. This application is effective and productive because it enhances to process a more better information system (Automated)

On this work, we shall basically lok upon the possibility of making the outline orderly model of designing effect changes. The process of changing system is systematic such that it is a repetitive process. It is a fact to say that every system has what is called life cycle especially information system. By reviewing and modifying them, we say. It is a system development cycle. The routine is always cyclical. It is on the system development that the familiar input processing output feedback pattern of all systems. The system development contains the output which consist of various organization information systems. The feedback components helps evaluate the effectiveness of the system in terms of changing requirements.

IN THE PROCESSING COMPONENTS WE HAVE THREE PARTS

System Analysis

System Design

System Implementation.

None of these parts can be considered apart from the other two. To be courtesy, I would say that the activities involved in system development is interlinked set.

1.2     DEFINITION OF PURPOSE

          The rate of accepting different sources of receipt by the topic of term paper into an organization keeping track of the files can at any time operates the organizations and clients financial report.

1.3     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Cash Receipt system of Rorban Stores LTD is to keep records of all receipts of purchases and sales made.

By so doing, they keep information concerning each transaction such as the name of client, address, data of transaction, description of goods. Quantity of goods, model number of the goods, the amount of the goods.

Inside this record the company can then know the financial reports of both the clients and the organization itself.

This study examines the impact of information technology on health care system in Nigeria. An electronic health record is a record in digital format that is capable of being shared across different health care settings, by being embedded in network-connected enterprise-wide information systems. Such records may include a whole range of data in comprehensive or summary form, including demographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology images, vital signs, personal stats like age and weight, and billing information. Its purpose can be understood as a complete record of patient encounters that allows the automation and streamlining of the workflow in health care settings and increases safety through evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting

With many writers decrying how patients queue up for hours in order to receive medical treatment, and some end-up being attended to as ‘spillover’, the analyst investigated the manual system in detail with a view to finding out the need to automate the system.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1            Background of the Study

Health is generally said to be wealth.  It takes healthy people to generate the wealth the nation requires for the general well being of its people.  There is therefore the need for adequate Medicare especially in the area of diagnosis and treatment of diseases.  Since there is a good relationship between the job output and health of the workers, a good Medicare is vital.

Unfortunately, in most developing nation (including Nigeria), this adequate Medicare is lacking due to how standard of technological know-how and manual handling of most medical problems.  As observed by Lyiama H.C. and D.C. Chukwu, “very often, people in developing countries who are critically ill are rushed abroad for special treatment because it is felt that Medicare facilities at home are inadequate.   This is partly because computer – aided Medicare has become a reality in many developed countries”.  It is also a known fact that the production of qualified medical doctors and other medical personnel and consultants in on the increase, but his is not enough to meet the health needs of the increasing population.  The ratio of patients to a doctor is still high.

This situation creates problems, because proper and adequate medical attention of patients is far fetched.  Nowadays, the low-income class is mostly affected.  Doctors hurry over their duties in order to attend to all the patients.  At the end of the day, they are tired and over worked.

Considering the rate of population growth the medical care and facilities available, and the health needs of the people, computer-aided Medicare is in evitable for more accurate.  Furthermore with the present shift to an information society, it is necessary to anticipate the future use of a sophisticated electronic machine the computer.  This is necessary because the computer is rapidly finding its way into every field of human endeavour, including medicine.  Its application includes patient care and protection, clinical administration, intensive monitoring during emergencies, surgical operations, diagnosis and automation of medical records.  For instance, during a complex surgical operation as exemplified by Iyiama and Chukwu, “the computer monitors person being operated on, revealing all vital sings (pulse, blood pressure, breathing rate, etc) of interest to the doctors in the theatre, thus helping them to be more accurate and effective in what they are doing.  Such a patient monitoring system can be with a video Display Unit (VDU), a keyboard for interactive inputs and an alarm”.

The wide rang of the use of computer is due to its versatility as a data processing machine and its ability to do things including complicated tasks faster, better and more accurately than human beings would.

1.2     Statement of the Problem

It has been observed that to receive medical treatment in most of our hospitals, the patients queue up for several hours from one unit of the hospital to another starting from obtaining a new hospital folder, or retrieving an old one before consulting a doctor, to the laboratory unit for lab test then to the pharmacy to get the prescribed drugs and so on.  With the manual processes involved in handling the patient most of them waste the whole day in the hospital.  Very often, patients leave their homes very early in the morning in order to be among the first group to see the doctor.  Otherwise, they may end up wasting the whole day without due attention.

This situation is discouraging to most patients and sometimes forces them to turn to non-professionals or even resort to self-medication for quick recovery.

Moreover, the volume of work for the hospital personnel is much.  Patients out number the doctors, nurses and other medical personnel, that too much are required from them.  In this regard, to examine all his patients for the day the doctor hurries over his work without adequate attention and expertise to his clients.  Still, at the end of the day he is exhausted.

In addition to this, the diagnosis and prescription depend on the doctor’s memory and drug of choice.    Their brains are often loaded with different diseases, signs and symptoms, complications and various drugs for their treatment and so on.  Some of which are very similar.  To remember and process these huge information in his clinical work is very tasking.  For this reason accurate diagnosis and prescription may not always be obtained.

The keeping and retrieval of accurate records on patients are poorly carried out in most of our hospitals.  Files may be misplaced; the record in them may be wrongly filled.  Hence, it is not easy to obtain accurate and timely information or data.

This is also the case with obtaining other medical information and data especially when new folders and numbers are obtained each year.

Finally, the keeping of folder for each patient manually takes a lot of time and money and some of the information are redundant.  All these have net effect of loss of lives and inefficiency on the part of management.
