DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERISED STADIUM MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The advent of computer Technology has brought relief to repetitive tasks and has helped in the better management and origination of data.  Information management system can be applied to any system that facilitates storage, management and retrieved of data and information required for some particular application within a computer system.  This makes it easier for data to be handled or managed.

The stadium staffs have been finding it so difficult to manage information for example, in the existing system where everything is processed manually, the operators find it difficult to store, locate or retrieve information when necessary.  Also the issue of crowd control and ticketing, which is needed in events to generate income for the sector.  Processing ticket for an event manually can be costly, time – consuming and waste ticket stock which is always encountered in some event due to the excess ticket processed manually.

The computer system can be used in so many ways in the stadium, for example, crowd control, processing of ticket for an event, managing office files and so on.

This work concentrates on the computerized ticket, crowd control, information management in the stadium and facility management.  With the aid of computer system, the data will be properly managed, organized and construction of a suitable program that will help in the management of stadium.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Following the problem encountered in the organization, tickets that are processed for an event and the end, there will be left over (waste ticket stock) which create loss in the finance of the stadium unable to communicate with one another in other to share information which leads to time-consuming, re-entering of information and lack of centralized system for customer information.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

This work is aim to reduce the work of stadium operators, managers, and individuals.  Furthermore, the aims of this work are to.

(i) Study the present way of processing ticket.

(ii) Design a new system that will be more convenient and efficient, which will take care of difficulties encountered in the present system.

(iii) Design a new system that will enable the organization control crowd in every event.

(iv) Design a system that will make access to record or information easier.
