Research Background

Unit Keselamatan is one of the departments that manage the security of Uitm Shah Alam especially for visitors who comes in and out of this campus. Currently, the management of Unit Keselamatan for visitors are manual record process where the visitors have to register by fill in the form paper, leave their identification card and get the pass from guard. They have to give back the pass and take their identification card before exit the campus. Because of that, guards have faced difficulties to track the visitors and storage record issue. In order to solve the difficulties, Visitor Management System (VMS) is going to develop for Unit Keselamatan to increase the efficiency and more systematic in their management.

Visitor Management System is a computer based system and in this research it focus on the design and development using classification technique.

Design is defined as design the solution system based on the requirements defined and decisions made during analysis. In SDLC, design is the third phase after requirement and analysis phase. These phase have seven major activities which are design and integrate the network, design and application architecture, design the user interfaces,  design the system interfaces, design and integrate the database, prototype for the design details, and design and integrate the system controls.

Development is defined as make the system based on the design where the system is done by coding.

Classification is defined as form of data analysis that extracts a model from data to classify future data. In this system, classification will be use in generating report by classify visitor’s transportation and time for top management to see the visitor’s statistic. 

The main function of this system is to register visitor coming in and out thus can track the regular visitor. Besides that, this system will give the statistic visitors coming in and out based on the record storage for top management of Unit Keselamatan. 

Problem Statement

                Currently Unit Keselamatan UiTM Shah Alam still records the visitor’s information manually using paper. They faced difficulties to control and track the visitors coming in and out of UiTM systematically. Due to the manually record process they are unable to provide the statistics and reports. They are also unable to track the regular visitors which come in and out of UiTM. Unit Keselamatan have already the form for register the visitor, but they still do not have the web based system.

Based on the preliminary investigation, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder, Mr.Suffian, an officer at Unit Keselamatan UiTM Malaysia. According to him by using manual forms it is difficult for them to track and control the visitors come in and out of UiTM. Furthermore, they have to generate the report every day for head office to produce the statistic of visitors.

Since Unit Keselamatan do not have web based system for visitor management, it is hard for top management at head office to get the reports of visitors from staff at post guard. This will leads to lost of important records and take a lot of time to recheck the records.

 Aim

To conduct Design and Development processes for Visitor Management System (VMS) using classification technique.

Objectives

1.       To design VMS using classification technique.

2.       To develop VMS based on the requirements gathered.

3.       To test the functionality of VMS with stakeholders.

 Research Scope

The scope of this project is for Unit Keselamatan UiTM Malaysia to manage the visitors coming in and out of UiTM.

Significance

This system will benefit three groups of stakeholders which are top management of unit keselamatan, staff of unit keselamatan and visitors.

From the top management perspective it will provide them with simple and effective way in visitor management system especially to register and to get statistic of visitors. These systems will smoothly the management of visitors and make the security of UiTM consistence.

From staff perspective, they can keep tracks and control the visitors coming and out of UiTM. The staff can know which building the visitor is and when they come and out the campus.

From the visitor perspective, this system will make the registration process faster and easier to them.
