ABSTRACT
Iggesund Paperboard is one of the largest manufacturers of virgin fiber paperboard in Europe. The UK based operation is centered at a medium sized paper mill based at Workington in Cumbria. A key part of the Workington plants success is that it maintains and manages its own forests in Dumfries and Galloway, Perthshire and the Highlands. However, Iggesund only use the top two thirds of the Douglas fir and the Scots Pines which are grown in its Scottish forests. The remaining third is used to produce timber that is sold to local and national companies for use in construction and carpentry. It is this particular aspect of the company’s business process on which I would like to concentrate.
Each forest has its own manager who is responsible for the timber sales operation. For several years the managers of the forests have been wishing to upgrade their paper based filing system to a computerized system. This system is outlined below. Unfortunately, due to staff shortages in the company I.T. department they have been unable to find the time to develop a new system. Regrettably, the forestry manager’s budget is limited and he cannot afford to purchase an off-the-shelf package.
After brief discussions with a member of the I.T. department, and with the manager of the Forest of Ae (near Dumfries) I decided that I would to like to try and implement a system that would help the manager of the Forest of Ae keep track of his customers, contracts, orders, products and haulers. Due to the recent staff cut backs and existing projects the I.T. department have been unable to offer me any type of support or spend any time with me to develop the system. However, they agreed it might be beneficial for me to develop a prototype system that then could be modified by them to suit the specific needs of the forest manager in the future.
Existing system:
In the existing system all the implements are to be done on the paper based .So all the customer , haulers , products , order information are to be maintained Based on the paper . so there is redundancy of data and there time taking to Handle all the things . So every manager can maintaine his particular data . he can view all his customer information on the paper based this will leads to confusion .
Proposed System:
In the proposed system all the information is to be maintained on computer Basis . there is no redundancy of data , the manager can easily handles the All the information . so all the customers can easily see the products details On-line . The manager can add the new haulier details easily . so he can see Whether the order is delivered or not to the particular customer.
