Shipping Lines Ticketing System
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Shipping services played a vital role in the development of modern economies. Nowadays, the shipping industry has grown tremendously with the introduction of highly sophisticated sea vessels. In the field of the shipping industry, computers are used by companies in order for them to have a quicker way in the issuance of tickets. A ticket gives the passenger the right to board a ship. It indicates that the passenger has paid for or is entitled to a specified service. In most cases, shipping companies encountered problems with ticketing because the passengers need to queue up for a long time just to buy ticket and ask for information. With the aid of computers, the company can provide an easier way of travelers with comfort.
The use of computers could help much lessen the work load employees and it can minimize the time and effort in searching particular information. It can simply be defined as a machine which takes instructions and perform computations and operations accordingly. It can work as a continuous worker and provide outputs for respective inputs in a pre-decided manner, so there is no need to enter one input at a time. It can process various inputs simultaneously. Because of this exclusive feature, computers play a crucial role as an application device in application based services.
In J & N Shipping lines, the teller spent considerable time in supplying passenger’s data and calculating discount fares to minors, students and senior citizens in the ticket. And sometimes an issued ticket contained the same sleeping cot number issued to another ticket that caused confrontations among the passengers. Because of this, the researcher was interested to design and develop a ticketing system for J & N Shipping Lines as basis in implementing an automated system and to provide better services to the passengers.
