Software requirements specifications of a proposed plant property management system

Abstract

The current system used to administer Plant Account equipment for academic departments at the Naval Postgraduate School involves four categories of system users and accountability for more than 2000 individual equipment items worth over seven million dollars. Implementation of a management information system (MIS) to support Plant Account equipment related functions could eliminate data handling redundancy and improve Plant Account administration effectiveness. This paper is a continuation of the thesis by James 3. Carter, Jr., LCDR, (JSN entitled "Software Requirements Specification of a Proposed Plant Property Management Information system for the Naval Postgraduate School". It presents the description and functional specification for the data base required to support the present Plant Account system. Additionally, it provides the requirements and file description for a prototype management information system to be used as a starting point from which to mechanize the present Naval Postgraduate School Plant Account procedures and files.
