CHAPTER 1

Introduction

What is Monitoring? While metrics represent the data in your system,

monitoring is the process of collecting, aggregating, and analyzing those
values to improve awareness of your components' characteristics and
behavior. The data from various parts of your environment are collected
into a monitoring system that is responsible for storage, aggregation,
visualization, and initiating automated responses when the values meet
specific requirements.

In general, the difference between metrics and monitoring mirrors the

difference between data and information. Data is composed of raw,
unprocessed facts, while information is produced by analyzing and
organizing data to build context that provides value. Monitoring takes
metrics data, aggregates it, and presents it in various ways that allow
humans to extract insights from the collection of individual pieces.

Monitoring systems fulfill many related functions. Their first

responsibility is to accept and store incoming and historical data. While
values representing the current point in time are useful, it is almost
always more helpful to view those numbers in relation to past values to
provide context around changes and trends. This means that a
monitoring system should be capable of managing data over periods of
time, which may involve sampling or aggregating older data.

Secondly, monitoring systems typically provide visualizations of data.

While metrics can be displayed and understood as individual values or
tables, humans are much better at recognizing trends and understanding
how components fit together when information is organized in a visually
meaningful way. Monitoring systems usually represent the components
they measure with configurable graphs and dashboards. This makes it
possible to understand the interaction of complex variables or changes
within a system by glancing at a display.

An additional function that monitoring systems provide is organizing

and correlating data from various inputs. For the metrics to be useful,
administrators need to be able to recognize patterns between different
resources and across groups of servers. For example, if an application
experiences a spike in error rates, an administrator should be able to use
the monitoring system to discover if that event coincides with the
capacity exhaustion of a related resource.

Finally, monitoring systems are typically used as a platform for

defining and activating alerts, which we will talk about next.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

What is Logistics? All organizations move materials. Manufacturers

build factories that collect raw materials from suppliers and deliver
finished goods to customers; retail shops have regular deliveries from
wholesalers; a television news service collects reports from around the
world and delivers them to viewers; most of us live in towns and cities
and eat food brought in from the country; when you order a book or DVD
from a website; a courier delivers it to your door. Every time you buy,
rent, lease, hire or borrow anything at all, someone must make sure that
all the parts are brought together and delivered to your door. Logistics is
the function that is responsible for this movement. It is responsible for
the transport and storage of materials on their journey between suppliers
and customers.

Northward Crest Logistics Corporation started its operations delivering

agricultural products and construction materials within the Northern region of
the Philippines. The company also partnered up with LF Logistics in delivering
consumer goods from leading companies such as Puregold, Mercury Drugstore
and Proctor and Gamble. At present, NCLC is rapidly expanding to tap other

areas and accommodate future clients. When NCLC was founded in the

early quarter of 2017, all the process of its operation is done manually
from filling of records, listings of transactions and tracking.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter includes the review of related literature and studies
foreign and local, which the researchers have perused to shed light on the
topic under study.

FOREIGN LITERATURE

According to David J. Closs in his article “How Can Supply Chain

Information Technology Enhance Competitiveness?”, (2007) in the
Official Magazine of the Logistics Institute, “the role of it in logistics: a
report on how companies are leveraging information to forecast, create
flexibility and achieve the right levels of inventory”, he discussed that
employing information technology to enhance supply chain
competitiveness is an ongoing challenge for both supply chain and
information technology (IT) executives. There are the perennial questions
about which applications to invest in, which suppliers to use and when a
version updates are appropriate. To answer these questions, it is important
to understand the individual roles and relative contributions of supply
chain IT applications. While supply chain IT applications can be described
in many ways, one approach categorizes them as transactional,
communication or relationship management.

Another source from Emmanson’s Blog, discussing the “Role of

Information Technology in Logistics and Supply Chain Management”
his elaborations in IT and Supply Chain Integration, Supply chain

management (SCM) is concerned with the flow of products and

information between supply chain members’ organizations. Recent
development in technologies enables the organization to avail information
easily in their premises. These technologies are helpful to coordinates the
activities to manage the supply chain. The cost of information is
decreased due to the increasing rate of technologies. In an integrated
supply chain where materials and information flow in a bi-directional,
Manager needs to understand that information technology is more than
just computers. At the earliest stage of Supply Chain (the late80s) the
information flow between functional areas within an organization and
between supply chain member organizations were paper based. The
paper-based transaction and communication was slow. During this period,
information was often over looked as a critical competitive resource
because its value to supply chain members was not clearly understood.

An IT infrastructure capability provides a competitive positioning of

business initiatives like cycle time reduction, implementation,
implementing redesigned cross-functional processes. Several well know
organizations that are involved in supply chain relationship through
information technology have ripe huge gain through integration. Three
factors have strongly impacted this change in the importance of
information. First, satisfying and pleasing customer has become
something of a corporate obsession. Serving the customer in the best,
most efficient and effective manner has become critical. Second
information is a crucial factor in the managers’ abilities to reduce inventory

and human resource requirement to a competitive level and finally,

information flows plays a crucial role in strategic planning. Information and
Technology: Application in Supply Chain Management, in the development
and maintenance of Supply chain’s information systems both software and
hardware must be addressed. Hardware includes computer’s input/output
devices and storage media. Software includes the entire system and
application program used for processing transactions management
control, decision-making and strategic planning.

In his conclusion, he stated that “World is shrinking day by day with

advancement of technology. Customers’ expectations are also increasing,
and companies are prone to more and more uncertain environment. The
IT field is evolving and developing every day. New technologies in
computers and mobile devices are shaping the way the world
communicates with one another, gets work done, and spends free time.
Companies will find that their conventional supply chain integration will
have to be expanded beyond their peripheries. The strategic and
technological innovations in supply chain will impact on how organizations
buy and sell in the future. However clear vision, strong planning and
technical insight into the Internet’s capabilities would be necessary to
ensure that companies maximize the Internet’s potential for better supply
chain management and ultimately improved competitiveness. Internet
technology, World Wide Web, electronic commerce etc. will change the
way a company is required to do business. These companies must realize
that they must harness the power of technology to collaborate with their

business partners. That means using a new breed of SCM application, the
Internet and other networking links to observe past performance and
historical trends to determine how much product should be made as well
as the best and cost-effective method for warehousing it or shipping it to
retailers.”

FOREIGN STUDY

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET),

April 2017. “GPS BASED VEHICLE TRACKING AND MONITORING
SYSTEM- A SOLUTION FOR PUBLIC TRANPORTATION” by Akshatha
S.A of Computer Science Department, Mangalore Institute of Technology
and Engineering, Mangalore, India. A vehicle tracking system is an
electronic device designed with the computer software enables the owner
or a third party to track the vehicle location. A location defined using GPS
technology is almost accurate to obtain the real vehicle location. Vehicle
monitoring system can be implemented using GPS technology; therefore,
it effectively reduces the vehicle management cost. His study provides a
solution for tracking and monitoring the public transportation vehicles. In
this method GPS technology is used to obtain the location of the vehicle
using the space-based navigation system. Raspberry Pi processing board
is used which processes the received values and gives the final output.
This method explains a way to monitor the public transportation vehicle
from the location A to location B. Raspberry Pi processor compares the

passenger specified values with the current location values therefore if

the result is not the same then passenger is informed about the same.

International Journal of Computer Applications, June 2015. “Vehicle

Tracking, Monitoring and Alerting System: A Review” by Sumit S.
Dukare, Dattatrya A. Patil, and Kantilal P. Rane of Department of E&TC,
GF’s Godavari collage of Engineering Jalgoan (India). The goal of their
study is to review the past work of vehicle tracking, monitoring and
alerting system, to categorize various methodologies and identify new
trends. Vehicle tracking, monitoring and alerting system is challenging
problem. There are various challenges encounter in vehicle tracking,
monitoring and alerting due to deficiency in proper real time vehicle
location and problem of alerting system. GPS (Global Positioning System)
is most widely used technology for vehicle tracking and keep regular
monitoring of vehicle. The objective of tracking system is to manage and
control the transport using GPS trans receiver to know the current location
of vehicle. In number of system, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is
chosen as one of technology implemented for bus monitoring system.
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) is most widely used for
alerting system. Alerting system is essential for providing the location and
information about vehicle to passenger, owner or user.

from the Internet. The project consists of three parts. The first part is a
mobile device with an embedded GPS and wireless Internet connection to
transmit its current location. The second part is a web server that will
receive the data, parse it, and store it for access over the Internet. The
third component is the user interface that will allow others to visually see
where the hand-held GPS device is and has been. To view its location, one
could use any device that can connect to the Internet such as a desktop
computer, laptop, PDA, or cell phone. The data available through a
browser includes a scalable map of the surrounding area, latitude,
longitude, speed, and altitude of the hand-held device. The system is
intended to be a general-purpose tracking device; however, the user
interface will be tailored to the university shuttle system.

LOCAL STUDY

In the Philippine Army Logistics Manual (2007), in their study of

concepts in Automated Logistics System, providing logistic support is a
process of resource prioritization, allocation distribution and management.
Locating and moving logistics support is a way that gets the right material,
personnel and services to the right users on time, and this requires reliable
logistic information support. Such support provides vital data before,
during and after the planning process. It requires the Commander to
disseminate his logistics plan to enable him to coordinate and direct the
distribution of logistics support during the plan's execution. The high
evolving technology has increased the prevalence of automated
techniques in the field of logistics as the Army has sought new and better

ways of managing the vast materiel resources for which it is responsible.

The power of the computer has made possible the development of
management information systems which can provide timely and pertinent
information for logistics managers at all levels. The capability of these
systems to store and process large amounts of data, handle routine
decisions, and identify critical decision paths for management action
makes them a tremendous aid in planning and controlling logistics
operations.

Velasquez and Jacqueline V. Vengco, Instructor, College of Computer
Studies Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City, Philippines.
The main objective of their study is to make the monitoring procedure
trouble-free by developing a system which would be accessible through
the internet. Students will have their own user accounts which will give
them the capability to upload reports and on-site pictures thereby
minimizing the time and effort spent in going to and from the company’s
location to the university and vice versa. Similarly, the practicum
coordinator of the college will be given their own accounts to access,
download and check the updates submitted by the students. The system
will be capable of generating reports of submitted requirements in real-
time given that all data are to be stored in a database and the process is
done online. This Online Practicum Monitoring System will be used as a
tool to assist the students of all colleges and the college practicum
coordinators in their tasks using a web- based software. The authors
deem that this software will be able to address the problems identified and
eventually make the monitoring task more convenient.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In Research Methodology, us, researchers always try to search the given
question systematically in our own way and find out all the answers till
conclusion. If research does not work systematically on problem, there
would be less possibility to find out the result. For finding or exploring
research questions, the researchers face a lot of problems that can be
effectively resolved with using correct research methodology (Industrial
Research Institute, 2010).

This chapter presents the methods to be used in the study. It also

describes the subjects of the study, the instruments used, the procedure
of data gathering, and the statistical treatment of the data.

EXISTING SYSTEM
In the current processes of NCLC,
● Pen and paper are used to file the data; therefore, data are not being
filled systematically, some data are missing and not complete.
● Folder system, data that are stored in the folders are not organized,
some are being transferred to other folders which results to chaos
data storage.
● Billing, need to lift through the papers then manually encode it. If
papers get missing, it will result to incomplete data to input and not
accurate billing.
● Manpower, the process for the number of trips are transacted
verbally. These results to inconsistent data inputs and lead to
connivance. Also, the licenses of the drivers are not appropriately
track.

RESEARCH DESIGN USED

The Causal Research, also known as explanatory research is conducted

in order to identify the extent and nature of cause-and-effect
relationships. It is the type of research used to measure what impact a
specific change will have on existing norms and assumptions. Causal
studies focus on an analysis of a situation or a specific problem to explain
the patterns of relationships between variables. Experiments are the most
popular primary data collection methods in studies with causal research
design. Most social scientists seek causal explanations that reflect tests
of hypotheses.

The design the researchers will be using in this study is the Causal
Research, as the study will determine the effectiveness of the Vehicle
Monitoring System by observing or investigating the cause and effect
relationships of the situation.

SYSTEM DESIGN

System design helps in specifying hardware and system requirements and

also helps in defining overall system architecture. The design phase is a
big help to the researchers in enumerating and citing all the problems
encountered using manual system. The system design also enable the
researchers have designed a Vehicle Monitoring System that generates
different reports for the company.

The result of this stage will be documented in the system design

specification and presented to the company and staff for review and
approval. The company and staff involvement is critical to avoid any
misunderstanding about what the new system will do and how much it will
cost.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

In this phase the researchers start the development of the system with its
design and also approach the management of Northward Crest Logistics
Corporation for the design of the system and what they want the system
will look. After the design we proceed to the programming of the system.

SYSTEM TESTING

The researchers have gone through many ways just to make sure that
each and every system modules were properly and accurately working.
The researchers have distributed the system to the technical or IT experts
before the system has been implemented to Northward Crest Logistics
Corporation.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The system is tested and evaluated according its functionality and

efficiency. After all testing and debugging, the researchers and the
company users concerted that the system meets the quality standards.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The system requires at least Windows 2007 and up either 32-bit or 64-bit
(aka x86 or x64), and compatible to mobile devices and any other
platforms such as Android, IOS and etc.

HARDWARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

▪ Minimum 500MB Hard Disk space for installation
▪ Recommended minimum CPU – Intel Quadcore or higher, 3.2GHz
▪ Recommended minimum CPU – AMD Processor A8 or higher,
3.2GHz
▪ Recommended 1GB RAM
▪ Internet Connection at least 1mbps

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

After the researchers have finished the implementation of the system

was done. Generally, problems with the system developed (which are not
found during the development life cycle) come up after its practical use
starts, so the issues related to the system are solved after the
deployment of the system. Not all the problems come in picture directly
but they arise time to time and needs to be solved; hence this process is
referred to as Maintenance.

Other maintenance:
* Payment for Webhosting
* Updates of the scripts used on the system.
