Case Study Document

**Electricity Bill Management System Case Study**

**1. Introduction**

The Electricity Bill Management System aims to streamline the process of handling and recording
customer electricity bills. By providing a comprehensive platform, the system facilitates efficient
management for both administrators and users. This case study explores the development,
implementation, and benefits of the system.

**2. Background**

Traditional methods of managing electricity bills often face challenges such as manual data entry errors,
lack of real-time information, and difficulty in tracking usage patterns. Recognizing these shortcomings,
the need for a digital solution became evident. The Electricity Bill Management System addresses these
challenges by offering accurate readings, historical data analysis, and effective record-keeping.

**3. Objectives**

The primary objectives of the Electricity Bill Management System include:

- Providing administrators with tools for monitoring and managing customer accounts.

- Offering registered users (employees and customers) access to personalized account management
features.

- Ensuring smooth bill generation processes through accurate readings and data analysis.

**4. System Overview**

The system comprises several modules, including:

- Login Module for secure access.

- User Module for managing personalized user accounts.


- Admin Module for full control over the system.

- Queries Module for facilitating user inquiries and data retrieval.

- Department Module for efficient categorization of consumers.

- Meters Module for recording meter data and usage trends.

**5. Use Case: Generation of Electricity Bill for a Customer**

*Primary Actor: Admin*

**Precondition:** Admin successfully logged into the system.

**Main Success Scenario:**

1. Admin checks the targeted customer's user record.

2. Admin analyzes the customer's billing history to identify usage patterns.

3. Admin updates the system with current readings to generate correct electricity bills.

4. The system validates information and confirms successful bill creation.

5. The bill is securely saved and dispatched to the consumer on the due date.

**6. User Requirements (Customer)**

Customers require the following features for a seamless experience:

- User-friendly interface

- Secure login

- Ability to view bills and consumption history

- Detailed billing information

- Various payment options

- Bill notifications and usage alerts

- Ability to update account information

- Query resolution and customer support


- Energy-saving tips

- Privacy and data protection

- Feedback mechanism

**7. Sample Electricity Bill Management System Schema**

The system schema includes essential tables for managing customer accounts, bills, readings, and user
information. Tables include Users, Customers, Meters, Departments, Readings, and Bills. Each table
contains primary and foreign keys to establish relationships and ensure data integrity.

**8. Normalization**

The schema undergoes normalization to eliminate redundancy and ensure data integrity. Tables are
structured according to the principles of First Normal Form (1NF) to minimize data duplication and
optimize database performance.

This case study demonstrates the importance of the Electricity Bill Management System in modernizing
the management of electricity bills. By leveraging technology and user-centric design, the system
enhances efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction in handling electricity-related transactions.
