CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter will explain project background, problem statements, objectives, scopes,
project significance, and conclusion of the proposed system.
1.1
Project Background
Currently, America Eagle Tanker (AET) uses the conventional way to record the
crew manning scheduling for their company. AET plans to convert this two system with
an integrated system. This new system will provide significantly richer functionality
than is currently conventional way.
In addition, the goal for this next generation Shipping Crew Scheduling Services
(SCSS) is to provide America Eagle Tanker (AET) with a spirited benefit with respect to
the other shipping companies in the operational efficiencies and effectiveness of crew
manning management.
In fact, shipping industry carried over 90% of world trade. Therefore, their ships
need crews for this industry. For the reason that, many conveniences and services have
2
been built in regulate to help the industry to deal and schedule their crew better.
In arrange to help the industry of shipping goes more efficiently, I concerned to build a
system which called as AET Shipping Crew Scheduling Services ( AETSCSS ).This
system is built for the vessel crew and for the administrator to control the scheduling of
the crew, to manage their leaves, and this scheduling is according to their professions.
The crew can view the latest schedule of ship and when are their duties.
Moreover, this system will help the administrator to decrease the supervision and
management hassle and focus their time to provide quality scheduling services.
Management activities are to manage the flow of activities includes crew registration,
crew leaves, crew income and etc.
The proposed AETSCSS is a mixture best in class application suite consisting of
Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 for interface, JavaDB database application for data storage
and Java for the custom modules consisting of data entry, allowances calculation when
onboard and etc.
AETSCSS is developed purposely used to change the conventional way system.
The conventional way is filling the form for confirmation of their leaves and before get
onto the ship. Therefore the records of crew or employee will not be saved and it might
lose for some cases the data are irretrievable. This problem can affect the management
system to preserve the security of the data and this handbook system also does not have
any back up recovery data. So that I have learnt that by apply good services that can help
the business process in America Eagle Tanker (AET) become manageable and
sophisticated.
3
1.2
Problem Statement
This web based AETSCSS is a totally new progress in recording and scheduling
the crew manning. The development of this software is taken further on after studying
few problems as affirmed below.
1.2.1
•
System not scalable
The current conventional ways are unable to cope with the current business
needs and its future demands in terms of provision of planning the scheduling,
tracking the previous data and reports.
•
Requires more staff to handle data entry operations and manually generate
reports.
1.2.2
•
Conventional way system
America Eagle Tanker (AET) uses the conventional way to record the crew
manning scheduling for their company.
•
There is no facility available to have specific reports. The manual specific of
reports takes a substantial amount of effort.
•
Application form is used for crew registration, crew leaves and crew
arrangement might give difficulties to find out some data.
•
Probability of lost the information and big time is consumed to find the data.
•
Space needed to administer and manage to keep all documents in a safe place.
4
1.3
Objectives
1.3.1
To build system of crew scheduling services
•
This system is developed in order to manage crew schedule.
•
To give more flexibility services to the administrator and as it can be access
through the server.
1.3.2
•
To make less complexity during uses the system.
This system can make crew scheduling services become more user friendly and
can help administrator to manage crew schedule and become more structured and
orderly.
•
Administration can decrease the organization and managing hassle and
contribute their time providing excellence scheduling services.
•
To decrease the time wasted to record and schedule their event manually.
•
Reduce the number of staff used to assemble and manage all the records.
1.4
Scope
This section will define the system features, specific users and the technologies
used.
5
1.4.1
•
Scope of user
Administrator
The administrator is usually responsible for organize or manage all management
in the company.
•
Crew
Crew will used this system for viewing their schedule and personal details.
1.4.2
Scope of the system module
These are the modules to develop the AETSCSS. Each module will have its own
function. The module is listed as below:
•
Registration Module
This module is for Administrator to register new crew and save their personal
details.
•
Leave-Entitlement Module
This module is for Admin to manage crew leaves.
•
Schedule
Schedule module
IS
used for admin and crew to view schedule according to
vessel and date.
•
Crew Module
Crew only can view their personal details with their leaves, salary, schedule and
report and also change password.
6
1.4.3
•
Constraints
This application will not make any payroll for crew' s salary, dealing with
medical management, making arrangement with travel agent.
•
This system also is not an automated schedule. Administrator only assigning
them to the vessel according by date and their availability.
1.4.4
Scope of platform
The platform used to develop AETSCSS need to used several software, hard
ware and network requirement. The scope is listed as below:

Project Significance
AETSCSS will be a replacement of the current routine for crew manning
scheduling that used handbook system and this new technique is valuable to the staff and
crew especially where it can shorten the process of scheduling will be more efficiently
and professionally.
The number of staff used can be decrease because all the associated data from
administrator and shipping crew approach directly from the database. The required of
several staff for handle the scheduling by using the conventional way will not happened
during the used of the new system. Therefore, in these new scheduling services, the
needed staff is only t or 2.Then the remaining staff will be used for other works
management. For that reason, the new management of the company will raise the
business profit.
Hence, advantages from this project are the understanding and ability to develop
the skills in programming language and deal with time management. This project might
be a fine start in approaching a new systematic method of arrangement.
1.6
Expected Output
This project is expected to be a web-based application which is AETSCSS which
will help to administer the process of crew manning scheduling in shipping company in
more organized methods. [t is predictable to minimize the load and to give more time
spaces among staff in shipping company.

1.7
Conclusion
This chapter briefly makes clear what is AETSCSS is all concerning. The
prologue of AETSCSS is affirmed together with the project's objectives, scopes, project
significance plus the expected output from this project.
This project is proposed to be specifically developed for the use of America
Eagle Tanker (AET). The scheduling for crew manning is very important in this
company as they use it regularly in managing their crew. This system will probably
make managing and scheduling of crew in shipping industry become simple, wellorganized and systematic.
The next chapter would be specifying on the literature review and project
methodology that will be used in this project.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter will explain project background, problem statements, objectives, scopes,
project significance, and conclusion of the proposed system.
1.1
Project Background
Currently, America Eagle Tanker (AET) uses the conventional way to record the
crew manning scheduling for their company. AET plans to convert this two system with
an integrated system. This new system will provide significantly richer functionality
than is currently conventional way.
In addition, the goal for this next generation Shipping Crew Scheduling Services
(SCSS) is to provide America Eagle Tanker (AET) with a spirited benefit with respect to
the other shipping companies in the operational efficiencies and effectiveness of crew
manning management.
In fact, shipping industry carried over 90% of world trade. Therefore, their ships
need crews for this industry. For the reason that, many conveniences and services have
2
been built in regulate to help the industry to deal and schedule their crew better.
In arrange to help the industry of shipping goes more efficiently, I concerned to build a
system which called as AET Shipping Crew Scheduling Services ( AETSCSS ).This
system is built for the vessel crew and for the administrator to control the scheduling of
the crew, to manage their leaves, and this scheduling is according to their professions.
The crew can view the latest schedule of ship and when are their duties.
Moreover, this system will help the administrator to decrease the supervision and
management hassle and focus their time to provide quality scheduling services.
Management activities are to manage the flow of activities includes crew registration,
crew leaves, crew income and etc.
The proposed AETSCSS is a mixture best in class application suite consisting of
Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 for interface, JavaDB database application for data storage
and Java for the custom modules consisting of data entry, allowances calculation when
onboard and etc.
AETSCSS is developed purposely used to change the conventional way system.
The conventional way is filling the form for confirmation of their leaves and before get
onto the ship. Therefore the records of crew or employee will not be saved and it might
lose for some cases the data are irretrievable. This problem can affect the management
system to preserve the security of the data and this handbook system also does not have
any back up recovery data. So that I have learnt that by apply good services that can help
the business process in America Eagle Tanker (AET) become manageable and
sophisticated.

1.2
Problem Statement
This web based AETSCSS is a totally new progress in recording and scheduling
the crew manning. The development of this software is taken further on after studying
few problems as affirmed below.
1.2.1
•
System not scalable
The current conventional ways are unable to cope with the current business
needs and its future demands in terms of provision of planning the scheduling,
tracking the previous data and reports.
•
Requires more staff to handle data entry operations and manually generate
reports.
1.2.2
•
Conventional way system
America Eagle Tanker (AET) uses the conventional way to record the crew
manning scheduling for their company.
•
There is no facility available to have specific reports. The manual specific of
reports takes a substantial amount of effort.
•
Application form is used for crew registration, crew leaves and crew
arrangement might give difficulties to find out some data.
•
Probability of lost the information and big time is consumed to find the data.
•
Space needed to administer and manage to keep all documents in a safe place.
4
1.3
Objectives
1.3.1
To build system of crew scheduling services
•
This system is developed in order to manage crew schedule.
•
To give more flexibility services to the administrator and as it can be access
through the server.
1.3.2
•
To make less complexity during uses the system.
This system can make crew scheduling services become more user friendly and
can help administrator to manage crew schedule and become more structured and
orderly.
•
Administration can decrease the organization and managing hassle and
contribute their time providing excellence scheduling services.
•
To decrease the time wasted to record and schedule their event manually.
•
Reduce the number of staff used to assemble and manage all the records.
1.4
Scope
This section will define the system features, specific users and the technologies
used.
5
1.4.1
•
Scope of user
Administrator
The administrator is usually responsible for organize or manage all management
in the company.
•
Crew
Crew will used this system for viewing their schedule and personal details.
1.4.2
Scope of the system module
These are the modules to develop the AETSCSS. Each module will have its own
function. The module is listed as below:
•
Registration Module
This module is for Administrator to register new crew and save their personal
details.
•
Leave-Entitlement Module
This module is for Admin to manage crew leaves.
•
Schedule
Schedule module
IS
used for admin and crew to view schedule according to
vessel and date.
•
Crew Module
Crew only can view their personal details with their leaves, salary, schedule and
report and also change password.
6
1.4.3
•
Constraints
This application will not make any payroll for crew' s salary, dealing with
medical management, making arrangement with travel agent.
•
This system also is not an automated schedule. Administrator only assigning
them to the vessel according by date and their availability.
1.4.4
Scope of platform
The platform used to develop AETSCSS need to used several software, hard
ware and network requirement. The scope is listed as below:

Project Significance
AETSCSS will be a replacement of the current routine for crew manning
scheduling that used handbook system and this new technique is valuable to the staff and
crew especially where it can shorten the process of scheduling will be more efficiently
and professionally.
The number of staff used can be decrease because all the associated data from
administrator and shipping crew approach directly from the database. The required of
several staff for handle the scheduling by using the conventional way will not happened
during the used of the new system. Therefore, in these new scheduling services, the
needed staff is only t or 2.Then the remaining staff will be used for other works
management. For that reason, the new management of the company will raise the
business profit.
Hence, advantages from this project are the understanding and ability to develop
the skills in programming language and deal with time management. This project might
be a fine start in approaching a new systematic method of arrangement.
1.6
Expected Output
This project is expected to be a web-based application which is AETSCSS which
will help to administer the process of crew manning scheduling in shipping company in
more organized methods. [t is predictable to minimize the load and to give more time
spaces among staff in shipping company.

1.7
Conclusion
This chapter briefly makes clear what is AETSCSS is all concerning. The
prologue of AETSCSS is affirmed together with the project's objectives, scopes, project
significance plus the expected output from this project.
This project is proposed to be specifically developed for the use of America
Eagle Tanker (AET). The scheduling for crew manning is very important in this
company as they use it regularly in managing their crew. This system will probably
make managing and scheduling of crew in shipping industry become simple, wellorganized and systematic.
The next chapter would be specifying on the literature review and project
methodology that will be used in this project.
