Asset Management And Faults Rectifying System

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this project, the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company

(ZETDC) Assets management and faults rectifying system was based on the provision of an indepth

and detailed records of newly acquired assets and faults reports. Assets acquired are

maintained and monitored by the system. Automatically the system schedules attention on assets

that needs maintenance and those that require to be disposed. Faults rectification process was

instigated as a result of detailed work arising information from users that is the employees. The

Information Technology (I.T) department that consist of the systems administrator and the

technicians, is responsible for using the system and they keep a constant checkout on the system

for assets and faults management purposes. A range of software tools were proposed in developing

the new system and interfaces were modelled and designed using CS8 Dreamweaver. The database

implemented using the MySQL. The data collection method used included the observations,

interviews as well as the questionnaires. These data collection methods helped in coming out with

a valid research and supported the notion that advocated for the development of a new system that

endeavored to address the perceived gap between the desired state and the existing state. In pursuit

of the above, the documentation of the research project discussed five detailed chapters namely

the introduction phase, planning phase, analysis phase, design phase and implementation phase.

Apart from the listed the proposed system was user friendly and able to meet the non-functional

requirements of the system. An ongoing maintenance would be useful throughout the course

operation of the system.
