EQUIPMENT TRACKING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICAL & INSTRUMENT DEPARTMENT AT MCOT (MIRI CRUDE OIL TERMINAL)

This dissertation is written upon completion of the two semesters of Final
Year Project in Information Technology J^ogram. This project entitled 'Equipment
Tracking Systemfor Electrical &Instrument Department at MCOT' is done to cater
the ease for E&I (Electrical & Instrument) Department to have a proper databaseand
inventory listing in tracking the equipment movement at MCOT (Miri Crude Oil
Terminal) as well as tracking the work order resulted from the SAP system.
Currently, MCOT are having problems with managing huge data of work orders
(WO) and inventory tracking activity. The SAP system is used to raise and plan the
WOand also to outlinethe necessarysteps requiredto raise and plan the WO,prior to
work order approval. The SAP stated all the output of the work orders that had been
created and the expected finishing date of service or repair completion, but after
planning the workorder, it is then the responsibility for the maintenance supervisor to
keeptrack of the procurement and the inventory tracking in the department. Thus, the
maintenance supervisor finds it difficult to keep track on the finishing date and as
well as to have a follow up on the planned WO. These problems need to be solved as
each instrument is very critical to MCOT operation. The objective ofthe project is to
provide user with a system that can assist them in tracking the equipment smoothly,
to create tracking history and records of the equipment, to avoid any hindrance
pertaining to the equipment in order to fasten the processing time of work and to
ensure that MCOT will be running with zero shutdowns because each components
and instruments in operation is vital prior to receiving crude oil. An evolutionary
development approach is chosen in making the project a success as the specification
in evolutionary approach can be developed incrementally. After applying the
methodology the requirements of the client, this project can be best described as
successful and had made the clients and the personnel in the MCOT to be satisfied
when performing their job. This is strengthening when a survey conducted shows that
91% of the workers find ETS has helped them well in managing their daily work
efficiently.
