Abstract:
The development of database management system for machine spare parts
manufacturing aims to reduce the time spent on information research and prevents the
loss of data previously stored on the paper-based database. Management Information
System (MIS) provides a solution to these problems through the use of electronic
documents. Based on Office Access 2010, the new data management system has been
developed. Then, the test of the model is carried out. The results reveal that the time
spent on information research is reduced by 65%, while the time spent on producing
manufacturing report is reduced by 88%. Furthermore, the newly developed system can
reduce the risk of data loss by reserving data on other storage space and made the
Satisfaction to the users with the new system by 91%.Thus, this database offers the
system which is more efficient in aiding cost analysis, reducing the need to purchase
application software, and increasing competitiveness- all of which make contributions to
the organisation.
