ABSTRACT This study is concerned with the design of a Decision Support System for finding the Shortest path to a destination. The objectives of the study is to determine the optimal shortest/fastest path to a given destination or optimal shortest distance/fastest time to a given destination amongst others. The shortest path algorithm used is Dijkstra’s algorithm with finite nodes in the road network for optimum performance. Hence, the system developed in this study, seeks for an optimal sol...
Abstract In this paper we study the eects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) uid ow on a two dimensional boundary layer ow of a steady free convection heat and mass transfer on an inclined plate in which the angle of inclination is varied. The uid is taken as viscous, incom- pressible, electrically conducting. The mathematical formulation yields a set of governing partial dierential equations (PDEs) under a set of appropriate boundary conditions. The PDEs are transformed into ordi- nary die...
Abstract The purpose of this project was to find and address the challenges faced by visually impaired persons when trying to communicate electronically. An emailing system was proposed and built. Email System for the visually impaired is a software system that aims to empower the blind and the visually impaired. It makes use of artificial cognitive intelligence to mimic human intelligence by converting user supplied voice message into text and then creating an email message to send to the de...
ABSTRACT The ultimate goal of this project was on developing an Internet of Things (IoT) based air pollution monitoring system. This document gives stage by stage procedures that the developer undertook in coming up with the system. The developer undertook an assessment and the results showed that air pollution has alarming effects. Its effects cause a lot of human diseases which include respiratory and heart conditions amongst other body threats. The objectives of this project are to monitor...
ABSTRACT The core aspect behind developing Electronic Energy Meter Management System (EEMMS) was a result of inefficiency of the manual system that was used at the organization. The main aim was to develop a computerized system that will curb the problems currently encountered by using the existing manual system by integratinginformationsystemsprocess. The instruments which were used to come up with the system include MySQL database, Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, SMTP email service and Apache server...
ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this study was to document the problems of the current manual system and come up with a new online requisition system for petty cash, T&S and salary advances for CeSHHAR Zimbabwe.The system developer followed the steps outlined in the system development lifecycle which are, planning, analysis, design and implementation. In the introduction phase the developer introduced the organization and gave the aim and objectives of the research study. Feasibility studies ...
ABSTRACT This research gives a detailed overview of the Extranet Procurement System with the main thrust of identifying problems, summarizing facts, identifying and analyzing alternatives. Riozim has suffered data redundancies problems, human errors, fraud and biases in terms of choosing the best supplier, costs of employing much labor to manage every activity that was involved in the process, the system is rapacious thereby time consuming and may affects production and stimulates costs and a...
Abstract Industrial attendance management system is a software application that is developed for Zimbabwe Power Company Bulawayo Power Station to allow employees to log in and out of the organisation and also calculate their overtime automatically. The problem that arose with the current system was the difficulty in handling employee clock in details manually. The developed system overcomes the problems that were associated with the current manual system such as too much bottlenecks. In-house...
ABSTRACT Dandemutande Investments was face with a network management and tracking problem. The issues that were presented by old manual system include, missed service level agreement due to delayed response to network outages and incidences, the support team had to familiarize with several troubleshooting tools, manual compilation of system reports and the system was reactive and action to resolve network issues were only taken after the they had already occurred. The Infrastructure Surveilla...
Abstract The basis of the research project was to develop an online Work Related Learning (WRL) System for the Midlands State University. As it is a requirement for MSU students completing their second year in their respective degree programs to go for Work Related Learning in their third year .The MSU WRL Virtual Assessment System aims to solve the problems faced by the MSU Work Related Learning department after a realization that students on work related learning may not manage to meet the ...
Abstract Lack of ICT resources has negatively impacted on the full and effective adoption of ICT in education as well as the implementation of the new curriculum in the Zimbabwean context. ICT was adopted in the primary schools but the level of adoption is still in its infancy stage due to mainly shortage of resources and facilitators who lack ICT skills. This study sought to dig deeper into the challenges that are hindering the effective adoption of ICT in the primary school. Questionnaire, ...

Abstract The manual staff appraisal system at ZIMRA is slow and tiresome due to the length of time it takes to generate and fill in individual employees’ evaluation forms resulting in low throughput of employees. The process is also not cost effective to the company as voluminous appraisals are posted to the head office for evaluation and back for feedback. The analysis phase saw the researcher using various data gathering methodologies which included interviews, questionnaires and focus gr...
