Designing an Online Employee Work Process Scheduling System for National Water Supply and Drainage Board in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Managing employee work scheduling process is a vital task. Most organizations use manual systems for scheduling the employee work. But it is very time consuming and need a lot of effort to use those systems. The project is an approach for “Employee Work Process scheduling system” for National water supply and drainage board, the system, which was developed now, makes this process of scheduling much easier and computerized. By this system the general manager or top level designated employee can fix the schedule of any employee working under him, can even check whether the employee is free in the particular time or in other times. Thus the top level management can easily fix the process of scheduling, and even can change the appointment which is reflected immediately to the related employee avoiding direct contact of the employee resulting in saving lot of time and work overhead. The system even has the option for only viewing employee’s activities or appointments. This feature avoids direct contact to the respective employee’s database and activities. There is an option where only the supervisor (the top-level manager) can have direct access to the employee’s activities, can change the appointments of employees working under him. No other employee of the same designation or same level of hierarchy can do so. The proposed system is a software designed to assist in the process of scheduling the employees. Also this intended system will reduce human errors in handling employee details with regards to daily work process schedules. This research has used agile waterfall development methodology in order to develop design of the system. A survey has been conducted to identify drawbacks and address them successfully during development of the system. Proposed designing solution is accomplished by using web technologies with ASP.net and C# to run on Windows operating system
