Philippine Marine Corps Personnel Management Information System (PMC OPMIS)

Abstract

An efficient personnel information system is a must for every large organization, more so in the profession of arms where military units are geographically distant from each other.

With the wide distribution of Marine units all over the Philippines, there is really a need for a more efficient personnel information system which can be accessible anytime and anywhere. However, the current stand-alone system is not capable of such. Hence, this motivated me to develop the PMC Online Personnel Management Information System (PMC OPMIS).

The PMC OPMIS is a web-based information system that addresses the personnel needs of the corps regardless of time and geographical location. It is highly significant because It addresses the personnel needs of the entire Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) including Marines in far-flung areas.

PMC, the project sponsor and beneficiary, is a major unit of the Philippine Navy which is one of the three branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Technically, the Strategic Information Systems Development was applied. The Waterfall Model was used for the Systems Development Process. The Information Processing Theory (IPT) served as the theoretical framework. Systems development methodology was also used. Systems Concepts for Data Modelling and Process Modelling were used to identify and record details about data and the relationships that exist between data.

Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) was applied, and Computer-aided Software Engineering (CASE) was used as the system development tool. The project was assessed by means of interviews to users of the system.
