This report is designed to support software development activities. It provides a framework for individual and team-based software engineering projects. The ICT (Information communication and technology) age has made new developments possible. Various fields and sectors have been greatly influenced by the new advancements in Information technology. This success has been implemented in industrial sector too.
But there are cases where certain industry still lacks the new IT advancements and new software engineering methodologies. Few computers for general office works only cannot help make the Industry more successful.
Our purposed Gabion Industry management system will help to make the system automated one making office management activity and day to day work more effective and efficient.

1. Introduction
The economic development of a country is impossible without industry sector. Industry can make their manufacturing process cost and time effective only by implementation of new advancements in information technology. More economic progress is expected only by making use of advance and effective information systems. Here, we have analyzed and proposed system for Gabion Pvt. Ltd which has a factory operating to product Gabion Products.
GabioNet is the leading manufacturer of hexagonal woven steel wire mesh, commonly referred to as double twist mesh comported basket with rectangular box shape i.e. gabions , in Nepal. Gabions are revolutionary engineered retaining structures, designed as mass gravity walls to hold back earth and solid materials without possible overturning, sliding and other failure. Gabions are environment friendly and very cost effective as compared to other options and the structure blends easily and harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
Our project "Gabion Industry Management System" will identify the problems in the current system and finally propose all the necessities for a new advanced information system so that it is as per the need of time and requirements of the people and the company.
2. Problem definition
Different types of industry have been operating in our country. Some of the newly established have tried to implement the IT facilities in their system. But many too lack the automated system. The system which is analyzed by us has the problems listed below:
· Traditional file processing system is still used.
· Difficult to analyze staff records.
· Use of traditional accounting system.
· Difficult and time consuming to query on sales and order data.
· Time consuming to analyze and make decisions due to traditional transaction records.
· Difficult to update the record and data when order of product and sales of product comes at a same time.
· Difficult to search old records with in a short time frame.
3. Current Method
Currently, Gabion Industry Management System is using general methods such as excel and tally for keeping different records. These methods are incomplete and inefficient. This software has following interface:

4. Project Innovations
The purposed system "Gabion Industry Management System" will include the following features:
- Computerization of Information system
- List of employees and other staff information that they are vacant or engaged.
- Proper record for salary distribution of different employees.
- Contact information to contact right person in right time.
- List of gabion information with their size, weight etc.
- Proper listing of application areas of gabion.
- Listing of its feasibility, durability, Permeability, ecology, specification and cost.
- Listing of PVC coating characteristics and Mesh tolerance.
- Solution for slope stabilization to control environmental problem.
5. Feasibility Study
A feasibility study is carried out under three feasibility factors to select the best system that meets performance standards.
5.1 Economic Feasibility
It includes:
v Hardware cost for item such as computer, printer, scanner etc.
v software development cost
v Software implementation and maintenance cost.
v Public utilities such as telephone service and Internet connectivity.
5.2 Technical Feasibility
It includes:
v To check whether it is compatible or not.
v It must include recovery mechanism in case of damage.
5.2.1 Software requirement
v Microsoft Windows XP (operating system.)
v Minimum requirement for database system
5.2.2 Hardware requirement
v RAM 1 GB
v HDD 500 GB
v Cables
v Hub
v A Laser Printer
v Scanner
5.3 Behavioral Feasibility
v Traditional thinking of people is the main hindrance for accepting the change.
v They find quite difficult to adapt the new system.
v Lack of computer knowledge and the willingness for the new change.
v Less aware about the new technology.
The system to be developed must be:
v Responsive and more interactive
v User friendly
v The user need not require any technical knowledge or skills to use the system.
6. System Modeling
System modeling is the important phase which is done after analysis of the current system. Since the detailed analysis of the current system is found to be unspecific and inefficient, a new system is to be put foreword to meet the user requirements. The general design must specify the system which is cost and time effective.
Different components and the relationship between them are studied. System modeling is illustrated graphically so as to give an overview of the system organization. Then detailed design is done which includes computer oriented work using different tools. We have used Context diagram, DFD (level 0 to 2), Use-Case diagram, sequence and class diagram to model our proposed system.

7. Discussion
During the analysis of the system we found that:
- The high level management staffs are resisting advancement of current system.
- Workers are not given proper training.
- Lack of Information Technology awareness among staffs exists.
- Traditional File Processing system has made the progress slow.
- The existing approach is a hindrance for further progress of the company.
- But, the current system has created good employment opportunities for many people due to the use of manual working system.
8. Conclusion
Hence, our detailed analysis of the system has found many problems in the existing system and a new system equipped with advanced information system is required to improve the performance of the system. The software is developed as per the requirement and model defined in this report. The final software may evolve through number of revisions and modifications to meet company's standard.
