BY THE GRACE OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY
II
By the grace of ALLAH ALMIGHTY, the most merciful, this is
LORD of this world, who though Man what he know not.
Above all we are indebted to ALMIGHTY ALLAH, LORD of our
lives and every thing in this universe and His Prophet HAZRAT
MUHAMMAD (peace be upon Him), whose blessings enabled us
to pursuit higher ideas of life.
MESSAGE OF THE QUAID
MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH
III
Education does not merely means academic
education, and even that appears to be of a
very poor type. What we have to do is to
mobilize our people and build up the
character of our future generation.
There is immediate and urgent need for
training of our people in the scientific and
technical education in order to build up our
economic life and we should see that our
people undertake science, commerce, trade
and particularly well-planed industries.
But do not forget that we have to
compete with the world, which is
moving very fast in this direction.
Also I must emphasize that greater
attention should be paid to technical
and vocational education.

XVI
G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED Ferozepur Road Branch. The staff members are very
cooperative and supporting.
M R . A HSAN M AJEED is the Manager MIS and looks after all the functions of the
MIS Department and its activities. Currently a simple database system in Visual
FoxPro is working in the MIS Department of TOYONASIC T ARIQ G LASS
I NDUSTRIES , which handle accounts department and store department. I apply the
business intelligence rules on this database by creating a data warehouse for the
existing data. The production department of appliances division is handled
manually and there is computerized database management system for the
department. Therefore, there is problem in handling the data and quality check.
MY ROLE & PARTICIPATION:
XVII
As I know that with the theoretical knowledge, the practical knowledge about the
field also has much more importance that’s why the A LLAMA I QBAL O PEN
U NIVERSITY , I SLAMABAD has given the project to students in which the practical
work is included so that the students can get the knowledge about their relating field
beside the bookish knowledge.
This type of research program is basically to broaden the vision of practical
experiences with theoretical knowledge as it increases one’s capabilities to handle
problems at various stages and the ability of decision.
I have chosen T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED for my final report and emphasis
on one of its factory named TOYO NASIC. I did my level best to analyze the TOYO
NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED in order to examine its true position in
the market. I analyzed the various products offered TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS
I NDUSTRIES L IMITED and I got the information about it that it is improving quickly
from its past position.
TOYO NASIC TARIQ GLASS INDUSTRIES LIMITED is one of the most successful
glass industries in Pakistan I enjoyed my internship period at TOYO NASIC T ARIQ
G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED Ferozepur Road Branch. The staff members are very
cooperative and supporting. I worked in the MIS Department with M R . A HSAN
M AJEED (M ANAGER MIS) and assisting him. I chose MIS Department because of
the requirement of my degree. I thoroughly study different departments their
functions and specifically focus on the functionalities of the MIS Department as per
my requirement for this report I thoroughly study their system and proposed a
system for the betterment of their system. As well as implement that system in their
MIS department.
Currently a simple database system in Visual FoxPro is working in the MIS
Department of TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES , which handle accounts
department and store department. I apply the business intelligence rules on this
XVIII
database by creating a data warehouse for the existing data. The production
department of appliances division is handled manually and there is computerized
database management system for the department. Therefore, there is problem in
handling the data and quality check.
The system will provide services to the higher administration and management of
the departments of the TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES . The manager or
administrator will put a query and system will automatically execute and display the
reports in more descriptive and comprehensive form. He can also execute the
hidden queries in the queries.
System will facilitate the strategic level management of TOYO NASIC T ARIQ
G LASS I NDUSTRIES to make decisions, forecasting and better strategies. This system
will also provide the help to the operational level management to entertain queries
generate reporting and maintain stock status.
I had a very learning experience during my internship I had the practical exposure
of the MIS Functions I had been taught at University by the respected teachers &
their guidance and morel support was very helpful for me during all my study
tenure. During my internship I learned a lot about the MIS department and its needs
in the current new era of information technology of the company.

System Development Process is a set of activities, methods, best practices andautomated tools that are used to develop and continuously improve information
systems and software.
3.1.1 S YSTEM
A system is an orderly grouping of interdependent components linked together
according to a plan to achieve a specific objective. Its main characteristics are
organization, interaction, interdependence, integration and a central objective.
It is an entity which consists of interdependent parts so that system theory is
concerned with the attributes and relationships of these interacting parts.
A definition which applies to business systems is a collection of men, machines
and methods organized to accomplish a set of specific functions.
Any group of components (functions, people, activities, events, and so on) that
interface with and complement one another to achieve one or more predefined
goals.
A system is a set of interrelated elements that collectively work together to
achieve some common purpose or goal.
The term system is derived form the Greek word systems, which means anorganized relationship among functioning units or components exists because it
is designed to achieve one or more objectives.
A regular or orderly arrangement of components or parts in a connected and
interrelated series or whole; a series or group of components necessary to some
operation.

As the current system is completely manual, making it automated need lot of
time by realizing the existing system. The time limitation is one of the greatest
problems in this regard.
The system will process lots of transaction. So the calculation part must be
reliable as much as possible.
In this organization, there are so many senior employee, who are not familiar
with computerized system and they are not interested to develop a
computerized system.
Most of the employee does not have good knowledge about computer. That’s
why some of there expectations are unrealistic.

Organizations may develop a system in many ways. One single ideal systemmethodology is not working properly in all situations. Because some approaches are
better suite for developing small systems then large ones. During my internship in
TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED the prototyping approach was used.
Basically TOYO NASIC I NFORMATION S YSTEM is small in nature due to the expansion
of its business plant, now they needs medium sized Information System which will
develop soon. The MIS Director of TOYO NASIC says, because the company is not in
such a position to develop a system at once so they use Prototyping approach and the
required modifications are made when required. The main benefit of Prototyping
Approach is that you can develop appropriate system in short time without bear heavy
expense. However the main motive of all good approaches is that,
High level of interaction with user’s involvement throughout the development
process.
Conscientious attempts to minimize development time and costs.
A loyal concern for improving system quality.
The use of rigorous and disciplined approach to system development.
Production of complete and perfect design specification and documentation.
Implementation of system that satisfies the user requirements and is easy to
maintain.
If any one keep in such issues for the development or modification of system ensure
that it reach in its goals.

The main and basic purpose of the Management Information System is to collate,summarize and present data / information accurately that enables the managers to the
company to control its operations efficiently.
In the perspective of data gathering the ideal Management Information System has five
layers.
3.5.3.1 D ATA S OURCES :
Data sources provide the three main sets of data to be considered.
A. O PERATIONAL :
This provides the actual values of the metrics that you measure to determine the
success of your business.
B. B UDGETS :

The values you collect for operations, budget and forecasts provide the raw metric for
the analysis layer of your MIS.
3.5.3.3 A NALYSIS .
Defines how you will transform the raw metric data before presenting it to yourcompany’s employees. Employees at the lower levels of management in your company
are likely to need access to small subsets of the raw metric data that pertain to their
specific duties. As you move up through the management levels you will need to
summarize a wider range of metric data.
3.5.3.4 P RESENTATION .
Defines how you will present the transformed data to your company’s employees. Most
employees will need a simple dashboard that reflects the scope of their duties. The
dashboard should provide an easy to read display of the values of the key performance
indicators (KPI) for that person. It should be possible for the person to drill down
through any KPI to see the underlying data that determined the displayed value.
3.5.3.5 C ONTROL .
Control provides the mechanism by which the employees of the company attempt to
manage the values of the KPLs.

Content refers to the actual pieces of data included among outputs provided to users.
System designers generally put too much content into managerial reports instead of too
little. Too much content can waste a lot of time of the managers by making then isolate
from the information that they need, it also diminishes the impact of truly important
information.
3.5.6.2 F ORM :
Form refers to the way that content is presented to the users. Content can be presented
in various forms “quantitative” and “non-quantitative”, text, graphics, audio and video.
The reason behind is that managers prefer to the summary and detailed information in
relative rather than absolute form or in charts from such as pie charts, pie lines or bar
charts.
3.5.6.3 V OLUME :
The term volume is commonly used in technology t measure the amount of activity
taking place at a given time. The amount of data output required at any one time is
known as output volume. Heavy volume often suggest a fast frequently used output
device such as a high speed printer or a rapid retrieval display unit.
3.5.6.4 T IMELINES :
Timelines refers to when users needs outputs. Some outputs are required on regular,
periodic basis (weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually). Manager requires the out put
& get it when they need.

3.5.7.1 C ONTENT :
Firstly the analyst considers the types of data that need to be gathered to generate user
inputs. This is a complicated process because new proposed system means the new
information and the new information often requires new source of data, which can be
expensive. Sometimes the data needed for new proposed system are not available
within the organization but a close substitute might be.
ALLAMA IQBAL OPEN UNIVERSITY H 8 ISLAMABAD
TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L TD
C HAPTER N O . 3 :-
3.5.7.2 T IMELINES :
- 63 -
Exactly when inputs are entered the system is critical because outputs cannot be
produced until certain inputs are available. So a plan is established regarding different
types of inputs entering the system. Timing logistics are usually most complex in
transaction processing and information reporting system.
3.5.7.3 M EDIA :
Another most important input consideration includes the choices of input media and
subsequently, the device on which to enter the data. Such user input alternatives
includes:
Workstations.
Magnetic Disks.
Keyboards.
Pen Based Computers.
And Voice.
3.5.7.4 F ORMAT :
After the data content and the media requirements are determined, input formats are
considered. When specifying record formats the type and length of each data field, as
well as any other special characteristics are defined and avoid any error.
3.5.7.5 V OLUME :
Input volume refers to the amount of data that is entered in the computer system at any
time. And it is also considered important to determine the size of the input volume such
as light or heavy.

and computer hardware that most effectively get output for users.
3.5.9.1 A PPLICATION S OFTWARE :
Application software’s are the programs that specify the information processingactivities required for the completion of specific tasks of computer users. The analyst
of the output and input usually suggests numerous processing requirements for
application software. These requirements normally address such issues as the basic
functions and capabilities that the software must possess. In TOYO NASIC T ARI Q

L IMITED project teamdetermines in what way the users will need access stored data sequentially, directly or
both. User access requirements then help determine appropriate data and fileorganization methods. In some cases online order or billing require only sequential
access. Mostly business data are organized logically into records. However physical
data placement both file oriented and data processing methods are also organized
sequentially.
3.5.10.2 S TORAGE V OLUME :
Storage volume relates t the aggregate of the:
Number of Data.
Records.
Strengths.
Sets.
Or all such matters are accessible to the users at any time.

Generally system developers determine the total bytes required for the number ofrecords expected to be stored that byte requirement is double or triple to arrive at total
secondary storage requirements.
3.5.10.3 M EDIA :
Finally the system developers determine the storage media according to the size of
transaction which are as follows:
Diskette.
Hard Drive.
Tape.
Optical Disk / USB etc.
Normally for huge volume data storage the media optical disk is more feasible for ruse.
But in TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED the hard drive is used for the
data storage.
3.5.11 D EVELOPING P ROCEDURE FOR USING S YSTEM :-
In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED the system design is incomplete
until the procedures for using the system are finished. We define the procedure in this
way “A procedure is set of rules” procedure fall into two major categories:

work should be controlled. In computerized information system several controls must
be implemented to ensure the secrecy and security and accuracy of the data.
S ECURITY C ONTROL :-
Security control ensuring to eliminate the risk of unauthorized access of data, for
eliminating such risk we use the password, protection, mechanism etc.
A CCURACY C ONTROL :-
In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED computer information system
used the audit trail for the accuracy of the data so that accurate complete information is
stored. Audit is used to certify both the correctness of account balances and adherence
to a set of procedures or standards. Audit trails are used to trace the computer system
outputs back to original source documents.
P RIVACY C ONTROL :-
Regarding technology, privacy control ensures the protection of people’s rights
regarding how information about them is suppressed or used.
3.5.12 D ETERMINE P ERSONAL R EQUIREMENTS : -

In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED the most critical personal related
specification involves the work that people perform during their job. Total business
operations are divided into well defined goals and then those tasks are combined into
job. Each job must be feasible from the organization point of view as well asresponsible in accordance with the individual’s capabilities.
3.5.12.2 Q UALIFICATIONS :
When jobs are defined qualification is another taster for individual who fill those jobs.
For example, for the post of data entry operator the keyboard skill is necessary, etc.
3.5.12.3 T RAINING :

systems development. The number and nature of systems development activities
followed by the end user often differ from those found in more formal approaches.
Three way in which end user development might be implemented, “Traditional
Approach”, “Prototyping” and an intuitive approach”.

The system under development does not involve high volume transaction
processing.
The development time is short and cannot be accommodated by the MIS
department.
The user must be heavily involved in the development process.
3.6.2 S YSTEM I MPLEMENTATION :
In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED after data gathering and choosing
the hardware, software and services necessary to operate the system, the system
implementation phase of development begins. Implementation phase consists of the
following activities:
Scheduling.
Program Coding, Debugging and Testing.
Training.
Conversion.
3.6.2.1 S CHEDULING :-
In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED to ensure that the system will
work by a certain date the analyst must prepare an implementation timetable. In this
time table, all the activities are desirable as how the implementation must start and
finished.

In TOYO NASICT ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED a detailed implementationtimetable is often essential to develop management confidence in the installation plan
and to ensure uninterrupted operations during the implementation period.
3.6.2.2 P ROGRAM C ODING , D EBUGGING AND T ESTING :-
P ROGRAM C ODING . Coding is the process of writing that can run the computerHardware.
C ODING & D ESIGN T OOLS . Three coding and design tools are widely recognized as
potentially making programmers more productive are:
I. Structure Programming Techniques.
II. Software Prototype.
III. Object Oriented Programming.
I. S TRUCTURE P ROGRAMMING T ECHNIQUES .
“A set of program design and coding tools developed throughout in 1970 whichprovide programmers with a well defined and familiar set of structure.”
Using structure techniques, programs can be written in a systematic, standard style,
thereby reducing development time and errors plus making programs moremaintainable.
II. S OFTWARE P ROTOTYPE .
The quickly coded 4GL program is called prototype software. The 4Gl product that
facilitates creation of software prototypes is an application generator. Application
generators and software prototypes are useful when users are not exactly sure what
they want and what time is a limiting factor in software development.

C HAPTER N O . 3 :-
III. O BJECT O RIENTED P ROGRAMMING .
- 73 -
An object oriented programming used to developed programs that create and use
objects to perform information processing tasks.
P ROGRAM D EBUGGING . Debugging is a methodical process of finding and reducing the
number of bugs, or defects, in a computer program or a piece of electronic hardware
thus making it behave as expected. Debugging tends to be harder when various
subsystems are tightly coupled, as changes in one may cause bugs to emerge in
another.
PROGRAM TESTING. Testing (sometimes called compliance testing) is that part of an
internal control review which assesses whether actual practice follows, or complies
with, prescribed policies and procedures. The assessment is made by interviewing or
observing staff, following a transaction through the process, or sampling
documentation of transactions to determine if required steps are executed.
3.6.2.3 T RAINING :
In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED meteorology, training is when a
successive series of showers or thunderstorms moves repeatedly over the same area,
usually causing some form of flooding, especially flash floods. Often, this happens
when a line of rain or storms forms along a stationary front, and moves down the
length of the front, while the front is stalled. It is named so because this is similar to the
way train cars move down a track in a line, over and over the same point, without the
track moving.
In TOYO NASIC T ARIQ G LASS I NDUSTRIES L IMITED with the burst of activity in end
user computing and the appearance of new tools for computer professional, training is
becoming a major component of implementation sector.
ALLAMA IQBAL OPEN UNIVERSITY H 8 ISLAMABAD

The main object of training is that the users are well known to operate the program
according to the specification.
3.6.2.4 C ONVERSION :
The initial operation of a new computer based system can be a difficult task. Such
operation is usually a conversion process in which the Hardware, Software, People,
Network and data Resources of an old information system must be converted to the
requirements of a new information system. This usually involves a Parallel, Phased,
Pilot or Plunge conversion process from the old to new system. Four major forms of
conversion are as follows:
I. Parallel Conversion.
II. Phased Conversion.
III. Pilot Conversion.
IV. Plunge or Direct Cutover.
I. P ARALLEL C ONVERSION .
Conversion can be done on a Parallel basis, whereby the old and new system are
operated until the project development team and end user management agree to switch
completely over to the new system. During this time the operation and result of both
systems are compared and evaluated. Errors can be identified and corrected and the
operating problems can be solved before the old system is abandoned.
II. P HASED C ONVERSION .
The phase conversion can be allows a gradual implementation processes to take place
with an organization.
III. P ILOT C ONVERSION .
In pilot conversion where one department or other serves as test site. A new system can
be tried out at this site until developers feel it can be implemented throughout the
organization.

3.7.1 P ERIODIC P ERFORMANCE R EPORTS :
Periodic reports describes how much the MIS department performed with respect to staying
within planned spending limits.
3.7.1.1 U SER S URVEY :
The user surveys such as questioner and interviews indicate about the performance of the MIS
department. So in this way head of the department knows about the feed back of the system.
And if any problem is found he tries to resolve it.
3.7.1.2 S YSTEM P ERFORMANCE :
The main object of the system performance is that is the workstation working properly or not?
Is the system performing task or not? If not, then remedial action is taken to victory.
3.7.1.3 E ARLY W ARNING S IGNALS :
Early warning signals means that some thing is seriously wrong. In this way the MIS staff
evaluates the system & removes the miss-happening / errors on the spot.
3.7.1.4 O VERALL E FFECTIVENESS :

Proper maintenance of the system.
Use the high speed technology which is basic need of a good information
system.
The staff must be properly trained and skilled. Secondly, the right personshould be put to the right job so that the customer may be satisfied with the
conduct and performance of the staff.
Appointment on key post should not be made on political basis because people
appointed in this way are not only capricious minded but they also cast bad
reflection upon the reputation of the organization.
Maximum incentive in the form of profit and counter services should be offered
to the customers. Consequently, such incentives would bring more and more
business in return.
Customer satisfied with the counter service proves an asset to the organization.
Therefore, utmost care should be taken while dealing with the customers at the
counter. The staff at the counter must be highly skilled and trained according to
the changing trends of the world.
Fair appraisal system must be introduced. Equality appeals to everyone while
injustice discourages every qualified, hardworking and conscientious employee.
Every eligible employee should be rewarded according to his merit. All the
above suggestions will earn a good reputation and goodwill for the
organization.
