CHAPTER I ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

1.0. Historical Perspective

1.0.1. Organizational Background

As a conscious effort to be of help to the community, Pills Express

Pharmacy was established at Brgy. Poblacion 3, Perdices St., Dumaguete City,
Negros Oriental. It mainly serves as an investment for the owner’s retirement fund
as she envisions the business to be a source of income after retirement. The mode
of acquiring the business was through a take-over from a previously bankrupt
owner. The new owner and manager, Mrs. Nenita R. Pacana, took the opportunity
to continue operating the business in May 2013. Also, since her daughter is a nurse
and her daughter-in-law is a doctor, she was more driven to invest in this kind of
venture.

The pharmacy was established for the following purposes:

 Ensure the safe, effective, and affordable use and dispensing of drugs,
 Make drugs and medicines available to the community, and
 As time evolved, to develop and manage drug distribution systems that
provide access points to consumers that assure drug safety and compliance
with legal and professional standards

Through the years, Pills Express Pharmacy continues to sell safe and
affordable drugs to its customers. It also provides services like blood sugar level
test. The business is conveniently located in the center of the city next to a gasoline
station where customers frequently pass by. Customers riding motorcycles, may
opt to stay in their vehicles and stop by near the window store when buying
medicines or other products, given that there are only a few customers during that
time. What makes this pharmacy more engaging to customers is that it opens at
7:00 in the morning and closes at 11:00 PM unlike any other pharmacies who
 5

closes earlier. Moreover, the pharmacy also boasts of affordable prices for their
quality medicines that resulted to many loyal customers along the years.

1.0.2. Organizational Units

Figure 1 Pills Express Pharmacy’s Organizational Chart Description

The owner/manager holds the highest position in the pharmacy. She sets
the overall direction and operations of the business. Directly under her are the
registered pharmacist, senior and assistant pharmacists, bookkeeper and
technician. The registered pharmacist also helps in supervising two senior
assistant pharmacists, who have been working with the pharmacy for several years
and three other assistant pharmacists, who are new to the business.

1.0.3. Job Functions

An organizational chart visually depicts the relationship of different

personnel in an organization. This aids in segregating their specific responsibilities
for the achievement of the organization’s objectives. Just like other businesses,
 6

Pills Express Pharmacy are composed of individuals tasked with different

responsibilities but overall, works together as one.

A. Owner/Manager
The owner/manager generally oversees and supervises a company’s
activities and employees. She is responsible for the planning, organization,
direction, control and review of the day-to-day operations and major functions
of the business.

B. Registered Pharmacist
Pharmacists supply prescribed and over-the-counter medicines to the
general public in the pharmacy and give advice to customers on the safe use of
medicines and possible effects. She is the main person to refer to when
prescriptions are being provided by customers. The distinguishing factor of a
registered pharmacist to the other types of pharmacists in the pharmacy is that
she has the license to practice pharmacy.

C. Senior Assistant Pharmacist

The senior assistant pharmacist has the same general role as any pharmacist
which is to dispense medicines to and provide advices regarding medicines to
customers. An additional qualification is that she has worked several years with
the pharmacy. In the case of this business, the senior assistant pharmacist
serves as the cashier. He/she is also in charge of overseeing the new assistant
pharmacists.

D. Assistant Pharmacist
An assistant pharmacist also supplies medicines to customers. In addition,
he/she records drugs delivered to the pharmacy, store incoming merchandise
and inform the manager of stock needs.
 7

E. Bookkeeper
The bookkeeper records financial transactions and generates reports from
those information. The recording of transactions include posting information to
accounting journals or accounting software as well as general ledgers from such
source documents as invoices to customers, cash receipts, and supplier
invoices. The bookkeeper also reconciles accounts to ensure their accuracy.

F. Technician
A technician is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the accounting
system used in the pharmacy. He ensures that the system in the business is
functioning properly and troubleshoots if there are occurrence of several
computer issues.

1.1. Objectives of the project

This project aims to develop a computerized accounting system in place of the

current manual system used by Pills Express Pharmacy in the warehouse to monitor
different aspects of the business especially in taking and monitoring of inventory.

Specifically, this study aims to address the following challenges and purposes:

a. Inventory are stored in in the warehouse will be monitored accurately and

objectively.
b. Since information is centralized, monitoring will be easier, and stocks can be
refilled in a timely manner.
c. Products can be directly traced with their suppliers and shippers.
d. The system will be able to trace invoices of medicines with near expiration dates
in order to be stocked out.
e. Billing purchase orders will be matched with their suppliers and shippers.

1.2. Scope and Limitation of the Project

This inventory system is exclusively designed for the management personnel of

Pills Express Pharmacy. This system will lessen the work of those in charge of
maintaining inventory levels because all information will be stored directly into a database.
The owner would be able to access the information they need anytime.

Scope of the Project

The system can do the following tasks and/or has the following features:
● The system is password protected.
● It can view all the lists of employees, products, suppliers, and shippers.
● It can add, update, and delete certain records.
● It can keep track of purchase order records.
● It can monitor warehouse inventory level.
● It will be able to match products with suppliers and shippers.
 9

Limitation of the Project

On the other hand, the system is subject to the following limitations:

● The system is limited within the company’s purchase order billing and
warehouse inventory.
● Access to the system is limited only to authorized individuals.
● The system cannot be viewed online.
 10

CHAPTER II PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND FEASIBILITY

2.0. Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the overall process of developing

information systems through a multi-step process from investigation of initial
requirements through analysis, design, implementation and maintenance. There are
many different models and methodologies, but each generally consists of a series
of defined steps or stages. The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a
conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved
in an information system development project from an initial feasibility study through
maintenance of the completed application. Various SDLC methodologies have been
developed to guide the processes involved including the waterfall model (the original
SDLC method), rapid application development (RAD), joint application development
(JAD), the fountain model and the spiral model. Mostly, several models are
combined into some sort of hybrid methodology.

In general, an SDLC methodology follows the following steps:

1. The existing system is evaluated. Deficiencies are identified. This can be done by
interviewing users of the system and consulting with support personnel.
2. The new system requirements are defined. In particular, the deficiencies in the
existing system must be addressed with specific proposals for improvement.
3. The proposed system is designed. Plans are laid out concerning the physical
construction, hardware, operating systems, programming, communications, and
security issues.
4. The new system is developed. The new components and programs must be
obtained and installed. Users of the system must be trained in its use, and all aspects
of performance must be tested. If necessary, adjustments must be made at this
stage.
 11

5. The system is put into use. This can be done in various ways. The new system
can phased in, according to application or location, and the old system gradually
replaced. In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to shut down the old system
and implement the new system all at once.
6. Once the new system is up and running for a while, it should be exhaustively
evaluated. Maintenance must be kept up rigorously at all times. Users of the system
should be kept up to date concerning the latest modifications and procedures.

Phase 1: Project Identification and Selection

The first phase of SDLC is project identification and selection. In this phase, an
organization’s total information system needs are identified, analyzed, prioritized
and arranged. Someone identifies the need for a new or enhanced system. Project
identification and selection consists of three primary activities:
a. Identifying potential development projects
b. Classifying and ranking projects
c. Selecting projects for development

Phase 2: Project Initiation and Planning

In project initiation and planning phase a potential information systems project is
explained and an argument for continuing or not continuing with the project is
presented and a detailed plan is also developed for conducting the remaining phases
of SDLC for proposed system. Two major activities are in this phase are investigation
of the system problem or opportunity and the reasons why the system should or
should not be developed by the organizations. The scope of the proposed system is
determined in this phase.

Elements of project planning are:

 Describe the Project Scope, Alternatives and Feasibility
 Dividing the Project into Manageable Tasks
 Estimating Resources and Creating a Resource Plan
 Developing a Preliminary Schedule
 12

 Developing a Communication Plan

 Determining Project Standards and Procedures
 Identifying and Assessing Risk
 Creating a Preliminary Budget
 Developing a Statement of Work
 Setting a Baseline Project Plan

Phase 3: Analysis
In analysis phase the current system is studied and alternative replacement systems
are proposed. Analysis phase have several sub phases. The first is requirements
determination. Methods for determining requirements are:
 Interviewing and Listening
 Directly observing Users
 Analyzing Procedures and other Documents
 Joint Application Design
 Using Prototype Identifying
 Processes to Reengineer

Then according to the requirement structure the system in context of their

interrelationship and eliminate redundancies. Third, generate the alternative initial
designs to match the requirements. Then, from the alternatives determine the best
solution that meet requirement properly and the cost, labor and technical levels of
the organization is willing to commit to the development process. The output of the
analysis phase is the alternative solution of the existing system.

Phase 4: Design
In the design phase description of the recommended solution is converted into
logical and then physical system specifications. Design focuses on high level design
like, what programs are needed and how are they going to interact, low-level design
(how the individual programs are going to work), interface design (what are the
interfaces going to look like) and data design (what data will be required). During
 13

these phases, the software's overall structure is defined. Analysis and Design are
very crucial in the whole development cycle. Any glitch in the design phase could be
very expensive to solve in the later stage of the software development. Much care
is taken during this phase. The logical system of the product is developed in this
phase.

Design phase has two parts: logical design and physical design. Logical design is
the part of the design phase in which all functional features of the system chosen for
development in analysis are described independently of any computer platform.
Physical design is the logical specifications of the system from logical design are
transformed into technology-specific details from which all programming and system
construction can be accomplished.

Design phase highlighted on:

 Files and Databases
 Forms and Reports
 Dialogues and Interfaces
 System and Program Structure
 Distributed Systems

Phase 5: Implementation
In implementation phase information system is coded, tested, installed and
supported the organization. In this phase the designs are translated into code.
Computer programs are written using a conventional programming language or an
application generator. Programming tools like Compilers, Interpreters, and
Debuggers are used to generate the code. Different high level programming
languages like C, C++, Pascal, Java are used for coding. With respect to the type of
application, the right programming language is chosen. Implementation activities
also include initial use support such as finalization of documentation, training
programs and ongoing user assistance. Elements of implementation phase are:
 Coding
 14

 Testing
 Installation
 Documentation
 Training
 Support

Phase 6: Maintenance
In the maintenance phase information system is systematically repaired and
improved. After implementation users faces some problems about how the system
works and often think of better ways to perform its function. So modification or
change is needed. Software will definitely undergo change once it is delivered to the
customer. There are many reasons for the change. Change could happen because
of some unexpected input values into the system. In addition, the changes in the
system could directly affect the software operations. The software should be
developed to accommodate changes that could happen during the post
implementation period. Major activities that occur in maintenance phase are:
 Obtaining Maintenance Requests
 Transforming Requests into Changes
 Design Changes
 Implementing changes

There are several types of maintenance. Corrective maintenance refers to changes

made to repair defects in design, coding and implementation of the system. Adaptive
maintenance involves making changes to an information system to evolve its
functionality to changing business needs or technologies. Perfective maintenance
involves making enhancements to improve processing performance, interface
usability, and add desire requirements and features. Preventive maintenance
changes the system to reduce the chance of future system failure.
 15

2.1. Time Management

The schedule for the development of the project is shown in the Gantt chart. The
different activities, date started and finished, assigned people, duration, and progress was
monitored through it.
 16

2.2. Feasibility Study

2.2.1. Technical Feasibility

The computerized system serves to assist the establishment in their conduct

of business and increase the efficiency of daily operations. Employees and owners
of the establishment are computer literate thus learning and using the system would
not be difficult.

The researchers believe they are qualified to make this system because they
are equipped with the right knowledge to do so. They are well versed in accounting
and trained in using different programming languages and database management
systems. This knowledge serves as the primary premise in making this functional
system.

2.2.2. Economic Feasibility

The inventory system is not for sale and the establishment can avail its
services for free. However, the group has created an estimate of the total cost of the
system if they were to charge for the services.

Since the establishment has a laptop that has an Intel I5 processor, the
establishment need not purchase any new computer to accommodate the inventory
system hence, will not need to spend to purchase any hardware. Therefore, the
pharmacy will not spend much on this system. From an economic perspective, this
project has low risk.

2.2.3. Organizational Feasibility

The establishment shows an interest in this system. Currently, their

warehouse is monitored manually hence, they strongly support the group in
 17

developing the system. For the pharmacy to cope up with the demands of their
business, they expect that this system can increase the efficiency of their work.

2.3. System’s Budget Proposal

A project budget is the estimated financial plan for a project, for which funding is
required. The budget is an important component of a proposal, as it represents a financial
picture of the project. The recommended hardware specifications for the projects include
the basic computer paraphernalia such as monitor, CPU, RAM, Hard disk, & motherboard
to purchase a new one to replace the manual system of the warehouse.

CHAPTER IV SUMMARY, CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION

4.0. Summary

Before the proposed project, the establishment only manually monitored different
aspects of the business including the taking and monitoring of inventories. As a delivery
is received, part of it is stored in the warehouse and the others are stored in the pharmacy.
Every day, the owner is to bring stocks of inventory into the pharmacy and when inventory
runs low before the next day, an in-charge pharmacist is to message the owner to bring
more stocks.

This proved to be impractical considering that employees need to perpetually

monitor the inventory stock to inform the owner right away and prevent stockouts. This
presents a greater risk, especially in cases of failure to stock needed medicines and losing
customers in the process.

Other aspects like employees, purchase orders, supplier, and shipper are also not
monitored. Like any other small establishments, the knowledge of the owner about these
things are considered enough. This then leads to the information being concentrated on
only one individual. Thus, there is always a need to consult the owner for queries about
such matters.
 34

With these current deficiencies, the researchers found an opportunity of improving

the business practices of the establishment to improve efficiency and ultimately increase
profits. This is by way of developing the computerized system for them.

This computerized system is the first in the establishment that will be used to
harmonize the different aspects of the business in a single platform. These aspects
include the employees, products, inventory, purchase orders, supplier, and shipper. This
will ensure better monitoring of these aspects and more efficient business processes.

This proposed system was made with the establishment's current deficiencies in
mind. If in the future, new practices and aspects of the business are added, it would be in
the best interest of the establishment to have the system modified according to additional
needs.

The process in building this system started with the identification of the proponent
and the deficiency in their current business practices. Data obtained were then analyzed
to determine how to approach the problem and relevant systems were studied. An ERD
was then initially drafted to identify the relationships of the different components to each
other and as the project progresses, the ERD was revised as needed. The structure of
the program was then formulated, and the SQL entities and attributes were created. The
Delphi programming followed. This took most of the time of the project since this includes
a lot of revisions after the initial programming. The final step in the process is testing the
system with the proponents. This is to determine the sufficiency and appropriateness of
the system to the business.

4.1. Conclusion

Today’s world is very much focused on technology and making use of technology
to provide the best advantage. Even for businesses, technology can be very helpful. This
is where software development comes in.
 35

Software development is the process of creating and maintaining applications and

frameworks to increase a business’s productivity. This is done by way of reducing costs,
increasing business flexibility, giving the company a competitive advantage and
increasing company value thereby increasing the overall quality of the business. Commented [1]: PLEASE CHECK IF MU DEFINE
PATA UG SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT :)

A product of this process is a software powered by an information system. The

information system is used to keep track of different aspects of the business and the
software permits the facilitation of different kinds of transactions. This system improves
business efficiency leading to increase in profits and ultimately the success of a business. Commented [2]: -please check rapud

The proponent strongly supports the group in developing the system. Since the
establishment is currently running their business in manual, Pills Express Pharmacy
shows a lot of interest in the system. In conclusion, this project would be effective since
it will help the establishment cope up with the demands of their business and to make it
easier for them to track inventory.

4.2. Recommendation

The group recommends further development of the proposed system.

Development is recommended with regards to technology wherein online viewing of the
system by authorized individuals is effectuated and to be made compatible to
smartphones for easy access. The group also recommends the business to improve the
system’s process flows in the different aspects.
