IMPLEMENTING A NEAR REAL TIME QA LAB TRACKING SYSTEM FOR PT.ZXC

Abstract

Being one of the biggest manufacturing company in Indonesia, PT. ZXC tests many product samples in very large quantities, to ensure that each of their products are thoroughly tested and is up to par with the highest quality of standards. PT. ZXC’s QA labs are responsible in managing and testing these samples, with this in mind in an event where they have to try and find details/information for each individual sample effectively , the large amount of samples that needs to be tested can be a very major issue for PT. ZXC’s mechanical and chemical testing laboratories. Therefore, the need for a proper real-time tracking system for managing large amounts of data is needed. This Thesis will discuss on the development of the Near Real-Time Lab Tracking System that will be used to both track and manage test samples that are submitted to the laboratory for testing, in conjunction to PT. ZXC QA Lab’s business requirement. There will be several key points that will be looked at in this Tracking System, which includes the ability to track where each sample’s current location/state of testing is, being able to know both the duration of how long each sample takes in one state and how long is the average duration for a specific category of testing takes, being able to know the exact amount of samples that are currently undergoing tests in each step, and of course being able to view essential reports/records of data through the application. Along with that is also the means to manage and insert the data samples for reporting of each sample’s test scenarios. The application will be split into 2 forms which are a web-based dashboard for monitoring in near-real time and a VB.Net based application for all the data managements.
