of the club which includes basic registry formalities and progress act delivers top notch quality
of service for participants. Similarly, Unimas Silambam Martial Art Club was initially in late
2016 by Mr Sivaneswaran that introduces ancient martial art practice among university
students. As it comes to the managerial sector of the club, manual system implementation and
paper based formalities is carried out. Therefore, to cater the challenges faced by Unimas
Silambam Martial Art Club managerial department, a prototype that based on web system is
proposed for the introduction of relative features that would help staff members to act
effectively on available workloads. The methodology, Rapid Application Development (RAD)
is implemented for the production of a web based system prototype known as Unimas Silambam
Management System (USMS). This system provides the main functionalities needed for the
purpose of club management that includes attendance record which utilizes barcode code
scanning device, registry formalities done online, student data management and progress
encounter by report generation as well as being updated on latest updates by the club. Major
downside faced by the club that very susceptible to human errors is provisioned by the
introduction of the USMS that provides ease in attendance and data management of students.
In order for the proper functioning of features and objectives achievement, testing and
implementation was conducted progressively. However, future works for the enhancement of
features in USMS is always concerned for the better providence of benefit to targeted users.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Management is an important phase to diverse terms of organization as it involves the
planning and alignment of organizational strengths for the betterment of the organization
itself. Deliberate approach in planning includes strength and weakness assessment by
company and external environment opportunity and threats. According to Harold Koontz
(2016), responsive set of people gather to assemble listed task: “Management is the art of
getting things done through and with people in formally organized groups”. The concept of
management is categorized as traditional phase which lasted for decades where managerial
positions direct objectives by organizing it. Manual processing of data may accompany one
to tedious task and cause human error. In today’s era of globalization, man- made machines
play central role providing organization manage their information that serves as information
hub for basic process and protection of data. (Lin & Zhu, 2017). Widely used in every aspect
of management including education and service environment, software solutions serve
integration among users from the updates of management which includes DojoExpert,
TeamUp and ATLAS. The main purpose is to manage classes and progress upgrade of users
that practically serves on par with Unimas Silambam Management System (USMS) which
will serve in future.
The software solution introduced is based on problems analyzed and the feedback given by
potential users. The founder of Silambam Porr Kalai Council, Grand Master Mooralitharan
Narayanan officially registered in 2015. Approximately a total of twenty classes all round
Malaysia including Sarawak state. (Narayanan, 2016). The Unimas Silambam Club, an Indian
martial art club was officially founded in 2016 by Master Sivaneswaran Sriganthan. Students
of UNIMAS Silambam club having issues implementing the current method of club
management, which includes the inefficiency in administering the formalities through manual
process. The requirement of efficient attendance is crucial for the good progress of the club.
1.2 Problem Statement
Unimas Silambam Club classes will be conducted on weekends and all formalities
upon registration are still created manually by the respective secretary. Attendance, update
and students information can only be retrieved from a physical file system which is tedious
2
and unorganized. At most attendance management is poorly managed by only physical note
down. Status of achievements made by students not regularly being updated to them as well
as payment for class fees is not being strictly followed by several students, whereby secretary
need to look up for their payment details before questioning students on payment issues. This
generally causes inaccuracy and subject to human error. Announcements regarding class
replacement that is overheard or not being notified properly is also a problem that needs
solution. Hence, a system to manage the formalities and keep track of updates is needed for
a proper supervising and conduct of classes.
1.3 Objectives
The aim of this project prospects is to build a management system. The following
objectives haves been outlined for supportive measures:
1. To develop a system that records attendance using a barcode scanner device by
utilizing the membership card.
2. To develop a web based application system for the management of Unimas
Silambam Martial Art Club that includes adding, deleting, editing and also
displaying of student’s information, attendance, payment updates and
generation of student report for evaluation.
3. To upgrade the current manual file management system used to desktop
application that eases registration formalities.
4. To enable notification regarding class updates in web portal thorugh the bulletin
board updates.
1.4. Methodology
Rapid Application Development (RAD) method is implemented for the development
of the Unimas Silambam Management Club (USMS). Software prototyping and iterative
development practiced in Rapid Application Development as rapid adaptation of the system in
real environment. The final software solution is developed by the usage of structuring and
prototyping to achieve higher user satisfaction by compliance of listed requirements. User
engage actively with developer during the development phase for better understanding of the
desired system. The shorter time taken for the development of this system through fast process
3
management enables the proposed project to be completed and delivered in the right time. The
stage by stage of process implementation enables developers to amend corrections and
improvise with ease without totally going back to the initial stage (P.Beynon-Davies &
Mackey, 2016). The RAD methodology comprises of three main phases, starting with planning
phase, designing, development and ends with maintenance phase. As this development allows
rapid delivery with the reusability method of the components and parallel development, it tends
to reduce the overall development time.

features implemented in this software solution proposed, which are attendance management,
registration via on desktop application, view student’s information and check through latest
announcements regarding classes. The attendance management allows administrator keep
track of their student’s performance status by viewing class attendance list by barcode scan
list. Next, this proposed desktop application features on portal registration that is useful to
simplify registration process with authorization access gain only after administrator
approved ones registration cachet. Following with the of student’s information in respective
registered accounts enables one to view on current level of involvement and to store their
information in a proper manner of computerized database rather than a manual transcript.
Next feature would be the announcement section. Any latest announcements made can be
viewed by both students and guest party in order to stay updated in current issues regarding
classes.
1.6 Project Schedule
The project schedule is used as a guideline for the development of this management
system which lasts for about two semesters that counts to eight months. Significance of a project
schedule depicts the deliverable quality and elements that related to “work breakdown structure” (WBS)
and statement of work (Ssempebwa, August 2013). Following the guideline, the entire program is
divided into two, Final Year Project 1 for the first semester and Final Year Project 2 for the
consequent second semester. Project schedule is represented in Gantt Chart as below:

Club, USMS. This web application has desktop features that allows administrative work
done precisely and student’s formalities done effectively which emphasizes on barcode
scanner implementation for attendance record. The Unimas Silamabam Management System
should convey a client-friendly and captivating interface that allows Silambam students to
view updates on class announcements, carry out registration and view their information on a
desktop application. With the implementation of attendance checklist, it allows student and
administrator to view and update for better management of class to avoid human error caused
6
mistakes by manual attendance checklist. Hardware implementation of thumbprint access
method is used. Last but not least, having an interface in software solution helps to keep class
well organized with functions that facilitates both parties, in this case the user (Unimas
Silambam Club students) and administrator (Unimas Silambam Club committee).

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
The background study of the system and literature review are illustrated in this chapter.
The aim for the providence of literature review is to describe in detail on existing desktop
application related with proposed project with relative features aligned. Web based platform is
derived as a major entity used for the ease of numerous managerial organizations. Web based
is considered as any program where access is done over the network rather than searching the
local storage. (J.T.Yao, 2015). Comparison on existing system with proposed system is done
precisely based on their respective strength and limitations with engaging system procedure
and the flow of their processes. Research done to evaluate the synchronised measures in that
form assess of functions of existing systems (M.Rajabalinejad, 2020). Driven conclusion based
on software and technology used conducts a manipulative difference between existing system
and purpose of proposed project (C. L Winchester, May 16 2016). Thus, stating that system
implementation is done based on the overview of suitable tools of technologies with clarified
features.
In this chapter, four major phases are discussed which is initialized by reviewing the
existing system with stated explanation and details information of each respective procedure.
Next section where comparison between proposed and existing format is shown in table by
qualitative manner followed by third section elaborates the discussion based on comparison
done earlier. Lastly, the summary for this chapter this derived in last section.
2.2 Overview of Objectives
