CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In examination of the main processing techniques used in ID-card processing system from the stage of data processing system to end stage of the processed ID-Card, a number of problem area are made known, which are as follows:

It has been noted that for students to relieve or collect their ID-Card in institute of management and technology FCAI, they queen up for several hours from one unit of the processing center to the another with the manual processed involved in handling the students ID-card process, most of them waste the whole day in the processing center without getting their ID-cards. So student do waste a lot of time in taking information and retrieving the students records.

1.2   AIM OF THE STUDY

        In looking at the already mentioned problems that is naturally parts of the conventional system, the aim of the study is to provide the description ID-card processing system for student’s information with users who have had a little communication with computer science.

        The purpose of this study is not to replace record employees, but to assist them to increase on the processing work. This will go further completely to remove invalid processing of ID-card, which can be implicating to the students, consequently, this will help the user to overcome stress and constancy of being overworked. This study is also aimed at educating the users and records employees in IMT Enugu and other private and government owned schools on how best a computerize ID-card processing system could help for optimum services to the public.

1.3   PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

        This project will be tested based on the following aims and objectives:

(a)    To examine the recent procedures employed in IMT Enugu with regards to ID-card processing.

(b)    To design a system with the capability of providing a wait-and-take processed ID-card.

(c)    To design an ID-card processing system that ensures timely processing.

(d)    To improve on the already existing system by designing a successful, secured privacy and reliable ID-card processing system that will help in providing complementary help to ID-card processing personnel through the availability of computerized information.

1.4   SCOPE OF THE STUDY

As a result of the difficulties of development of an ID-card processing system for ID badge system, smart print, start, smarter system etc. this research has been limited to student’s ID-card processing.

v     The processing covers all the school and department in IMT Enugu.

v     The study also involves method of inputting data, outputting student’s information on the ID-card processing system

v     Brief overview on processed ID-card.

1.5   LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

        Due to time court arts and the cost of going to different libraries, browsing centers and also going to the IMT Enugu ID-card processing department for fact-finding and more also the non-availability of enough ID-card processing materials restricted the scale this study would have gone to.

1.6   SUGGESTIONS

        My suggestion is that this project will design and stimulate base on the following suggestions.

1.     That the new system will have the ability to provide wait and take processed. 

2.     That the project will design a new system that will improve on the already existing system in terms of efficiency, security and reliability.

3.     That the project will ensure timely processing.
