Abstract
Internship program intends to empower students with real-world knowledge, skills, and desirable attitudes by allowing them to gain hands-on experience. This study focuses on implementing lean management principles in developing a web-based information system that manages the data and processes undertaken by the students in their internship program. The system was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model which was divided into four main modules. These modules are for monitoring and supervision of the internship program. The system will help the coordinators to manage documents, the supervisor to give grades, the students to create a journal that will monitor progress, and the administrator to manage the system. To determine if the developed system is efficient and functional, trials were conducted utilizing test scenarios, test cases, and comparison table. The developed system was evaluated using a survey questionnaire based on ISO 25010 software quality model as to Product Quality. It obtained an overall mean of 4.32 with a standard deviation value of 0.666. This validates that the objectives of the study were met and achieved. Moreover, the system was able to reduce the cost and time spent from the previous process, which proves that it successfully integrated lean management principle in its design.
Highlights
The Internship Program is meant to provide students with an opportunity to complement their formal learning with practical knowledge, skills, desirable attitudes and gain hands-on experience in recognized Host Training Establishment [1]
The students' recommendation letter is typed and printed out by the coordinator by utilizing the traditional system. These procedures result to a lot of problems like missing and redundant data, communication challenges, interruptions in the grading process, and demands in student monitoring [2]
This study aims to 1) design and develop an Internship Program Management Information System (IPMIS) that is capable of enhancing the current system
Summary
The Internship Program is meant to provide students with an opportunity to complement their formal learning with practical knowledge, skills, desirable attitudes and gain hands-on experience in recognized Host Training Establishment [1]. Hundreds to thousands of students enroll in this course each year since its offering. There are requirements to be submitted for the program to be taken, and during the training, monitoring of the student's status and progress is closely monitored This course designates a coordinator that will manage needed documents and will monitor each of the students to be done manually, challenging on their part. The students' recommendation letter is typed and printed out by the coordinator by utilizing the traditional system. These procedures result to a lot of problems like missing and redundant data, communication challenges, interruptions in the grading process, and demands in student monitoring [2]
