1.INTRODUCTION

1.1 About the organization

The project entitled Gas Agency is done to make the manual process easier by

making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock.The concern Satyam Gas Agency deals with the supply of gas for domestic and

commercial purpose. It is situated of at No.164A, Vijay Nagar square A.B. Road,

Indore. The organization was established at 1999 and currently it has carrying out

its duty with a 300 number of workers working in its esteemed campus. They

service the customers based on their needs by serving to home by giving domestic

delivery and to shops for commercial purpose. The organization has established

well by prompt delivery and advancement.

1.2Objectives

The project entitled Gas Agency is done to make the manual process easier by

making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock.

There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and

commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This

can be easily maintained and charged accordingly. The stock of gas and all its

details are processed swiftly.

The following modules are involved in this project.

Customer Details

Transaction Details

Stock Details

Billing

Booking

1.3 Purpose and Scope

1.3.1 Purpose

In the proposed system, the process of billing and maintaining the stock, database

of customers are all made computerized. Since whenever a customers makes ademand or places an order through phone call or by personal, it is received and

immediately checked by billing. The customers name, address, last date of

delivery are all maintained in the database. So when the customer order is

received and billed, the system automatically calculates the number of days fromthe previous delivery, if valid the billing can be done, if not the billing cannot be

done and the customer can be informed about it. So the manual process of

recording and billing is done easily without any paper work.The stock of gas that is recorded and maintained manually is made computerized.

So while billing, based on the stock the billing charge and capacity is made. When

the stock goes below the limit, it can be easily identified. So by this project the

process of ordering, delivering and stock maintenance for a gas agency can beprocessed easily.

1.3.2 Scope

This Application is designed to be generic as we develop our site. Automaticnotification of newly placed orders to the companys Shipping or processing

department. We are trying to include different kinds of products, which are

needed by the customer in their day-to-day life, and many more facilities for thecustomers.

Credit card facilities will be including for making the payment easy for the

customer. Service charge will be there for credit cards. Addition of a procedure toverify the users credit card information.

2. SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGIES

a). About Visual Basic Language

Visual Basic was developed from the BASIC programming language. In 1970sMicrosoft got its start by developing ROM based interpreted Basic for the earlymicroprocessor based computer. In 1982,Microsoft QuickBasic revolutionized

Basic and legitimized as a serious development language for MS-DOS

environment. Later on, Microsoft Corporation created the enhanced version ofBASIC called Visual Basic for Windows.

Visual Basic 6.0 :

Visual Basic 6.0 allows creating Object Oriented Application. When Visual

Basic originally developed, it allowed to the programmer to create programs

using pre-defined objects, forms and controls. It uses some of the Windows 95Controls. Visual Basic 6.0 can be used to develop both standalone systems and

Client Server Based systems.

Visual Basic 6.0 comes in three categories

Standard Edition.

Professional Edition.

Enterprise Edition.

Features of Visual Basic 6.0 :

Visual Basic 6.0 profoundly concentrates on the Internet development features,

ActiveX technology, enhanced controls, and enhanced features of existing

control, client/server, and new language features development.

Native Code :

A Visual Basic project is compiled to native code for faster execution. Profiles

native code using new native code compiler option, and debug native code usingthe Visual C++ environment.

Wizards :

The application Wizard is new and the Setup Wizard has been enhanced to enable

creating a dependency file for a standard project. In the professional Edition, theActive X control Interface Wizard, Active X Document Migration Wizard, Data

Form Wizard, and property page Wizard are new. The Setup Wizard has been

enhanced to support distribution via the Internet. The installation of remoteserver


9/23

components using Distributed COM (DCOM) and Remote Automation is an

added feature. The ability to create dependency files for projects and components

created with Visual Basic.

Extensibility Model :

The new model allows to programmatically extending the development

environment and control projects, events, code, and Visual elements.

Declare, Raise, and

Handle Events:-

Objects provided by the components can raise events that can be handled in other

applications, or by our objects, using with Events variables, Events provide a

simple alternative to asynchronous callbacks.

Create Active X document :

ActiveX document s can be created that boosts the Visual Basic application to the

Internet Browser Windows. The data control, DAO or Microsoft Access, you can

create that is virtually database independent, because jet automatically performsall syntax and data manipulation translations.

b). MS-Access :

When we create a Microsoft Access database, we create one file that contains the

data and table structures as well as the queries, forms, reports and other objectsthat make up the database.

Protecting information can be an important part of developing a Microsoft Accessdatabase. By securing your database, you can control what a user, is a group of

users, can do with database objects. Microsoft Access security made up of several

pieces that must be in place before security is account information with the work

group and permissions assignment in the database (.mdb) file Microsoft AccessVersion 7 system database includes several internal security enhancements.

Encrypting a database makes it indecipherable by a utility program or

word processor. Encrypting a database compacts the database file and makes itindecipherable by a utility program or word processor. Decrypting a database

reverses it indecipherable in order to protect it from unauthorized viewing or use.

c) Introduction to .Net:

Microsoft .NET (pronounced dot net) is a software component that runs on theWindows operating system. .NET provides tools and libraries that enable

developers to create Windows software much faster and easier. .NET benefitsend-users by providing applications of higher capability, quality and security. The.NET Framework must be installed on a users PC to run .NET applications.

This is how Microsoft describes it: .NET is the Microsoft Web services strategy

to connect information, people, systems, and devices through software. Integrated

across the Microsoft platform, .NET technology provides the ability to quicklybuild, deploy, manage, and use connected, security-enhanced solutions with Web

services. .NET-connected solutions enable businesses to integrate their systems

more rapidly and in a more agile manner and help them realize the promise ofinformation anytime, anywhere

The framework's Base Class Library provides user interface, data access, database

connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms,

and network communications. The class library is used by programmers, whocombine it with their own code to produce applications

d) Introduction to Java:

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun

Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language

derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model andfewer low-level facilities.Java applications are typically compiled to byte code (class file) that can run on

any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a

general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is

specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Itis intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is

currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely

used from application software to web applications.

e) Introduction to MySQL:The software required to manipulate relational databases is known as Relational

Database Management System (RDBMS) . Popular RDBMSs include MySQL,

Oracle, Sybase, DB2, MS SQL Server. MySQL is a relational databasemanagement system (RDBMS). It is pronounced as "My Sequel". MySQL was

originally founded and developed in Sweden by David Axmark, Allan Larsson

and Michael Widenius, who had worked together since the 1980s.


11/23

MySQL is released under an open-source license so it is customizable. It requiresno cost or payment for its usage. MySQL has superior speed, is easy to use and is

reliable.

MySQL uses a standard form of the well-known ANSI-SQL standards. MySQL is

a platform independent application which works on many operating systems like

Windows, UNIX, LINUX etc. and has compatibility with many languagesincluding JAVA , C++, PHP, PERL, etc.

MySQL is an easy to install RDBMS and is capable of handling large data sets.

Since MySQL is released under an open-source license, it does not require anycost or payment for its usage. Any one can download this software from specific

location on Internet. If you want to download, follow the following steps. The

step for two most popular OS platform, Windows and Linux are discussed here.

3. REQUIREMENT AND ANALYSIS

Problem Definition

This operations of a gas agency has to be automated completely.

This project, GAS AGENCY, include supplying of gas to variouscustomers, to maintain the reorder level of the gas cylinders, and to standardize

the price of the gas cylinders.

To get a cylinder the customer must be registered with the gas agency. The

details of the various customers are maintained. The cylinder type could becommercial or domestic. The transactions carried out by the agency are also

recorded. The stock that is available with the gas agency is also recorded, if any

defects found in commercial or domestic are also recorded and returned.

A master price list also maintained. This shows the different price for the

commercial and domestic cylinders.There are various reports have been generated such as customer report,

daily report, weekly report, date wise report and stock report.

The operations in the gas agency were done by manually. There were lotsof problems to maintain the operations manually. When they wanted produce the

reports like billing, daily transactions it was very difficult to tackle the situations.

Then they decided to automate their operation.

Requirements Specification

The main form contains the following menus,Main

Transaction

Reports

Exit

Main menu

The main menu having the following items,Customer entry.

Stock entry.

Customer entry form allows to add, delete, modify the customer details. In

this form one can view the customers, who are registered with the agency.

Stock entry form allows to enter the stock details, that is the stock received

and automatically updated in the database. The form shows the current stock. Ifthe current stock comes at the reorder level, it cannot deliver the goods. The

defects items also maintained in the database and also returned.


13/23

Transaction menu:

It contains the following items,Booking

Delivery.

Returns.

In the booking form, one can book for the gas. If the customer is already

booked, it will not allow to book again.In the delivery form, the releasing date is checked with the database. If the

releasing date is matches with the current date as well as released flag, then

delivery is possible and released flag is made as yes.

In the returns menu, the defective items are returned and parallel reduction

in the database.

Report menu:

This menu contains the following items,Customer report.

Daily transaction report.

Date wise report.Weekly report.

Stock report.

In the customer report, it will produce all the details of the customer.

In the daily transaction report, it produce the booking and delivered good,

on that day and total is maintained.

In the date wise report, the report is produced with particular date. Weekly

report produces the weekly transactions and stock report produces the total stocksavailable.

Planning and Scheduling

Gant Chart

Gantt charts mainly used to allocate resources to activities. The resourcesallocated to activities include staff, hardware, and software. Gantt charts (named

after its developer Henry Gantt) are useful for resource planning. A Gantt chart is

special type of bar chart where each bar represents an activity. The bars are drawn

along a timeline. The length of each bar is proportional to the duration of the time

planned for the corresponding activity.


14/23

Gantt chart is a project scheduling technique. Progress can be represented easily

in a Gantt chart, by coloring each milestone when completed. The

project will start in the month of January and end after 4 months

at the end of April.

Pert Chart

PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique) charts consist of a network of

boxes and arrows. The boxes represent activities and the arrows represent task

dependencies.

PERT chart represents the statistical variations in the project estimates assuminga normal distribution. Thus in a PERT chart instead of making a single estimate

for each task, pessimistic, likely, andoptimistic estimates are also made. The

boxes of PERT charts are usually annotated with the pessimistic, likely, and

optimistic estimates for every task. Since all possible completion times betweenthe minimum and maximum durations for every task have to be considered, there

are many critical paths, depending on the permutations of the estimates for each

task. This makes critical path analysis in PERT charts very complex. A criticalpath in a PERT chart is shown by using thicker arrows. The PERT chart

Data Flow Diagram

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is the graphical representation

that depicts the flow of information and the transforms that

are applied as data move from input to output.

The advantages of using Data Flow Diagrams are that they

do not imply physical implementation. This is useful as

once specific implementation is specified (as in case of

other flow charting techniques) before logical requirements

are fully understood; it would hamper the study of

alternative solutions to the problem. To achieve this, DataFlow Diagram uses following symbols:-
