System Flowchart

Automatic Barrier System Flowchart

In this part we show our flowchart how does this automatic barier system works. There are several characteristic need to be prioritize so that this project will success.

Product Specification

• Maximum angular speed = 1.57rad/sec
• Maximum torque = 150 Nm
• Maximum weight = 30kg
• Maximum life span = 5 years
• Maximum cost = RM750.00

Quality Function Deployment

What is house of quality??

QFD is a methodology for defining the customer’s desires in the customer’s own voice, prioritizing these desires, translating them into engineering requirements, and establishing targets for meeting the requirements.

Steps in QFD Method:

1. Determining Customer Needs

Goal: Develop a complete list of all requirements

2. Determining Relative Importance of the needs (Done)

Goal: Evaluate importance of each needs

3. Competition Benchmarking (Done)

Goal: Determine how the customer perceives the competition’s ability to meet the requirements

4. Translating Customer Need into Product Specifications

Goal: Develop set of engineering requirements (design specifications) that are measurable

5. Setting Engineering Targets for the Design

Goal: Determine target values for each engineering requirements

Result Analysis

As we can see, there are many problems when we do survey among students, staffs and lecturers. this is because they are not agree to each other.

For the first part, which is either all of this member are driving a car or not. There are some people who didn't bring car so they cannot give exact answer either they has a problem or not during find a parking. So when this happen other answer also could be affected.

Second part that has create many problem is about the restriction group. For your information, according to IIUM rules and regulations only 3rd year and above are qualified to bring car inside the campus. However, many students neglected this rule for their own benefits. Furthermore, sticker are not compulsory right now so many students bring car illegally.

Another problem occur during this survey is most of the staffs only agree to use this system only for staffs and lecturers. For them students already stay inside the campus so they just need to walk to campus rather than being staffs which stay outside and they need to use their own transport to come here.

Many students agree about this automatic barrier system because this will make sure that only person who has an access are able to enter this Kulliyyah. More over they also agree on this project because many of them think that 4th year and postgraduate are senior students so they has priority.

In this part we only give 2 types of gates which is automatic or manual. Te result show to automatic more than manual. This is because it can manage the time so that they dont have to wait for someone to open it for them. but people who agree on manual barrier said that it is good so that IIUM security can stay here to open this barrier.

About identification, more of people agree on matric/staff card. this is because they can easily used it and of course they dont have to forget to bring it to campus. other identification like physical and plate number are very hard because sometimes there will be instrumentation failure and those who are legally can enter this Kulliyyah has difficulties.
Lastly, many of them agree that this automatic barrier system will solve parking problem. They think that only several people can enter this kulliyyah and this time parking lot will be enough for them.

There also suggestion that we can use access card to enter this kulliyyah. This is very easy also because visitor who has permit also can enter this kulliyyah. Other suggestion is IIUM should build a parking lot for Kulliyyah so that all students can bring their can and park at theie parking lot.
