1.1 Existing System
The management of the church is currently following a manual procedure. The user has to check the availability of the required item by querying to the management. The management has to check the availability from the register manually. After getting the availability status the user has to fill up the membership and other forms manually. The management then checks the validity of the forms and after checking it books the item against the respective request. The information about the item is kept in a temporary register. When the user submits the entire necessary document, the management enters the details of the request in the main register of item details.
Currently each member has a file on which vital data or information about a member or management is kept in. Apart from this the member information or data is also written on papers and in booklets which are then stored in shelves. Other documents such as transfer sheet, report forms and registration forms are also kept in files and stored in shelves. Therefore, the institution has several problems with their record keeping. Since their records can be destroyed at anytime by natural environmental hazards or conditions which comes from nowhere. It then causes the church to lose a large number of resources and required more management staff.
