Design and implementation of an employee job scheduling and progression tracking system

This thesis is a project-oriented one that features the design and development of a software system used for employee hourly progression tracking and job scheduling in an industrial environment. This software was developed at a professional level as verified by its adoption by one of the largest boxboard companies in the industry for its day-to-day operations. Some of the main features of this system are: (1) Specialized ActiveX controls; (2) Object oriented design utilizing classes in Visual Basic 6.0 and C++; (3) Stored procedures embedded in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0; (4) TCP/IP technology.; This system consists of two integrated subsystems, Tracker and Crew Master. The first, Tracker, was designed to replace a manual system used by the accounting department for tracking employee hourly progression. The second, Crew Master, replaces a manual system for scheduling hourly employees for job positions as well as vacation scheduling.
