ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study is to computerize quality control system for
manufacturing organization (A case study of S.E.D.I Enugu) and to develop a
computer package whereby the techniques observed from the manual method can be
improved on. It is known fact that the manual method of quality control system
in production has been associated with lots in inaccuracy in quality control
and this has lead to early break down of parts when in service. The software
with developed will facilitate and enhanced the mode and methods of quality
control in spare production of S.E.D.I Enugu.

objectives of the study, statement of the problem, scope and the elimination of
the study, limitation and definition of terms.
CHAPTER 2: This discuses on the review of the related
literature.
CHAPTER 3: This describes and analysis the existing
system together with the fact finding method used organizational structure,

INTRODUCTION
A quality control system in production
management is a qualitative technique with strong financial implication having
direct relationships with production, marketing, purchasing and financial
policies.
Also, it is a system used in the management of manufacturing held by any
organization as it concern addition to, storage and removal from the trading
organization with appropriate record keeping.
S.E.D.I. Ltd, Enugu as an assembly plant maintains a large amount of stick vehicle
spare parts which are imported from any of her vendor, Viz:- MBAG-Mercedes –
Benz AG Germany, MBBRAS-Mercedes- Benz Brazil or MBE-Mercedes-Benz Espana
for the production line or sales to distributions or authorized agents/dealers.
These stocks are held for various reasons among which are:
(a) To
ensure unit sufficient goods are available to meet anticipated demand.
(b) To
provide a buffer between production processes. This is applicable to work in
progress stocks effectively decouple operation.
(c)
To meet possible shortages in the future.
All these spare part, which may similar menu by description, varies greatly
among themselves depending on the type of model of vehicle using them. Thus,
the management and operation of stores functions and the control of stock can
only be performed in an efficient manner when there is an appropriate means of
upturning and storing information and the facility of the analysis and use of
this information.
In the light of the above S.E.D.I. Ltd Enugu maintains a visible records system
return to as KARDEX, As a prerequisite in any quality control system
ANAMCO Ltd maintains a peculiar but unique coding system such that all
the numerous spare parts are each uniquely coded and identified for
accurate and specific information on them.
The operation of the KARDEX was of ten prove to redundancy or duplication of
items when ever there is mistitling, it requires a lot of paper work with their
possible variation or discrepancies during documentation; it involves, so many
people thereby wasting a lot of man hours; increased cost of procurement
storage of non-moving or obsolete items leads to customer dissatisfaction due
to time wasting and unavailability of information. Thus, the efficiency of the
system is greatly depending on human factor and as such accuracy.
So, it is an attempt to rectify and modify the above inadequacies that we have
decided to develop and implement an integrated computerized stock control
system so as to maximize the operation efficiency, ensure customers
satisfaction based on quick services, minimize the non-hour requirement
involved reduce the running costs, guarantee accuracy and at the same time
generate report that assist management in her decision making as it concerns
planning organizing and controlling.
1.2
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY (MB-S.E.D.I LTD ENUGU)
Sequel to the recommendation of the fourth (4th) National
Development plan in 1975 to increase the number of automobile plants in Nigeria
in order to address the problem of transportation a Mercedes Benz plant was
chosen. Other reasons for establishing the plant being to
(a)
Transfer of technology
(b) Manufacture and assembly of
indigenous man-power training
(c ) Modernisation of industrial workers
and
(e) Diversification and rapid
industrialization of the Nigeria Economy.
MB-S.E.D.I. Ltd, as it is famously known and called means Mercedes-Benz Anambra
Motor Manufacturing Company Limited Enugu. The company is strategically located
along IBB-Airport Link Road Enugu Industrial Layout Enugu.
The pliant is a joint owned by the government and people of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria and Daimier-Benz AG of Germany. Their share equity is in
the ratio of 60% to Nigeria and 40% to Daimier-Benz AG Germany.
Therefore Mercedes-Ben S.E.D.I. Ltd. Enugu was licensed to manufacture
Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in Nigeria. The company was incorporated in
Nigeria as a Private Limited Company.
On the 17th day of January 1997. On the 12th day
of May 1978, its foundation stone was laid by Colonel John Atom Kpera then the
military Governor of the thin ANAMBRA STATE (NOW, ENUGU and ANAMBRA). Later, on
the 8th day of June 1980 Mercedes-Benz ANAMCO LTD, wad
commissioned by Alhaji; Shehu Usman Aliju Shangari, then the President Head of
State Commander in Chief of the Nigeria Armed forces S.E.D.I. LTDM commenced
production officially on January 1981, ever since the n her services work has
spread throughout Nigeria. The company uses foreign and local contents in the
manufacture of the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles.
1.3
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
It is a common knowledge that decision makers in any organization requires,
Information to perform the great functions of planning. Therefore, it is
necessary to discover an adequate means of making the information available in
making everyone concerned. This is because, for decision to be made correctly.
The information must be consistent, accurate, time and reliable.
Thus, this work is aimed at developing and implementing an integrated computerized
quality control system in production of an automobile firm (Case study S.E.D.I
Enugu Nigeria
1.4
PROBLEMS OF THE STUDY
(1)
The problem encountered when carrying out this study are that obtaining this
necessary information from the staff of S.E.D.I. was not easy because some of
their information are regarded as company secret.
(2)
There is competition of the way few pass personal computer, which has DBASE
111, plus application because many students make use of them in missing their
project program.
(3)
Production of spare part on manual approaches has been very difficult.
(4)
Problem of fund a lot of money is been incurred in carry out this project.
(5)
There may be inadequate or not existent stock records.
(6)
Obsolete items are retained in stock, which makes in difficult for one to know
the overall items in stock.
1.5 THE
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The objectives of this work include the following
(1) To
ensure appropriate stock quality control coding with a view to minimizing stock
redundancy or duplication inherent in the manual system of quality control
system in production.
(2) To
ensure operational efficiency thereby martimasing the customer services level
with increased accuracy.
(3) To
generate consistent accurate timely and reliable reports that consist the
management in her decision as it affects the stock and the organization for
affective planning, organization and controlling.
1.6 SCOPE
Even though that
Mercedes-Benz S.E.D.I. Ltd is the case study with her diverse inventories this
work is only continued to the administration of spare parts (finished
good type of inventory) as it concerns ordering, receipts, sales and reports.
Therefore, it excludes the W.I.P work-in-progress) and other forms of quality
stock control. It also excludes other automobile firms.
1.7
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of this work is that
when the system becomes operational, it will:
(1)
Permit on-line time data storage and information retrieval.
(2)
Save the production time per section and as such ensure customer
satisfaction.
(3)
Increase the operation efficiency and accuracy
(4)
Reduce stock redundancy or duplication inherent in manual system.
(5)
Reduce the operational cost.
