ABSTRACT
This
project was centered on design and implementation of computerized drug
verification and management system. The current process of verifying and
managing drugs by NAFDAC is being operated manually and due to this procedure
numerous problems are been encountered. This design was taken to computerize
the manual process in order to check these problems. The problems were
identified after series of interviews and examination of documents after which
analysis was made and a computerized procedure recommended. This project will
also suggest how to successfully implement the computerized procedure and to
overcome the obstacle that would hinder the successful implementation of the
system. The system was designed using PHP programming language. This language
was chosen because of its easy syntax and features for developing web based
applications.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Drug reporting and verification establishments like NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug
Administration and Control),
require efficient and brilliant technique and flexible system for proper drug
management. Their main objective is to ensure every fake drugs producing
company are eliminated in Nigeria. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth
in fake drugs incident which as claim a lot of lives in the country, this
predicament has created the need to build an application that will address most
of the issues address in this research work. This research work will be of
paramount importance to these sectors as it will be design to address most of
their challenges.
Drug reporting and verification Software
easily automates the whole process of drug verification and reporting. Drugs
Pharmaceutical Company are register on the system and verification code are
generated for each drug production. System
users are created by the system admin where each staff is able to login in with
the provided authorization and manage his/her account. The system which will be
made available to the general public provides a window in which users could
type in a drug code to verify the authenticity of that drug. The admin has the
sole authority over the system.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Chapter one introduces the research work and the
problem definition of the research, and to know the aim of this research work,
research justification tells us why it is important to research Where agent of NAFDAC find
it quite difficult to access register pharmaceutical company and drugs right
there on the field.on this topic; it also covers areas
like scope and limitation of study which entails the boundary of this work.
Definition of terms gives summarize what each chapter entails.
1.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION
This research work was undertaken to
uncover some of the problems with conventionaldrug
reporting and verification systems. Here, agents of NAFDACand other
drug enforcement agency find it quite difficult to access register pharmaceutical
companies . Using these conventional method pose lots of
constraint on team member as no team member can access files on the
officedatabase while at field work also reports has to be file at the office.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
In view of the problems
mentioned above, this project is aimed at implementing a drug reporting and
verificationsystem which will exclusively:
·
Register every drug produce by every
pharmaceutical companyin Nigeria
·
Produce and register drugs
verification code
·
Register pharmaceutical all company in
Nigeria with each respective trade mark,
·
Efficiently handling of fake drug
report files and automate the process of drug authentication using appreciate
channel.
1.4 RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION
This research work will provide a more reliable
and flexible way of drugs verification and report filing of fake drugs as well
as fake pharmaceutical company not authorize to produce and distribute drug in
Nigeria. Also eliminate the lag time in file recovery with an inclusion of an
asynchronous request incorporated on the system. Furthermore, it will aids
structural document, representation and eliminates the tedium of performing
monotonous transaction. This research will also contribute to existing
literature in this area and will serve as a guild or blueprint for an
undergraduate student.
1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This
research work “design and implementation of an interactive project management
system” will be a web-based application and will be implemented on a relational
database system(MySQL). Html(hypertext markup language), css(cascading style
sheet) and Jquery will be used to design the web-user interface, php (hypertext
preprocessor) will be used as the serve- side script language to link the
interface and the database.
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF
STUDY
This research work is to develop a
system capable of handling all Drugs agencies in Nigeria such as verification
and reporting of fake drugs, drugs confirmation code using secure channel, drug
enforcement agent .The system will also incorporate in its design a feedback
layout between for drug confirmation.
The system will not incorporate in its development
all the functions of a drug verification
and reporting system but will focus only on the aforementioned functionalities.
The system will not be responsible for any loss of data if its environment
(network/system installed on) is corrupt.
1.7 CHAPTER LAYOUT
This section was
put in place to explain what each chapter does, chapter one introduces
the project to the reader by explaining the problems the project is supposed to
solve, objective of the study and research justification is to describe to the
reader the purpose and the importance
of researching on this topic, research
methodology is all about the method used in implementing the research work,
scope and limitation describes the
boundary of the research work and where the project work can be put into use.
Chapter
two deals with the literature review and state-of-the-art.This chapter
discusses literature review, what people have published related to this
research work and their shortcoming, how this present research can improve their
shortcomings.
Chapter three deals with the
system design methodology i.e. collection of tools methods and practices for
achieving a task; the requirement specification states the expectation of the
system analysis, and design which is the blueprint of what the system would
carry out.
Chapter four has to do with
the implementation, system testing strategies, target computer system
requirement, software maintenance etc.
Chapter five discusses the
recommendations and conclusion part of the research work and how this work can
be applied to the problem domain.
