CHAPTER ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Prior to the establishment of the postal service in Samara in 1894 correspondences
were conducted through messengers known as “melektegnas” or “postegnas”. These were
hardened individuals who travelled great distances often on foot over coming through terrain
weathering hostile climate. They endured the pangs of hunger and thirst and carried their letters
over their heads on cleft sticks which latter become the symbol of EPS As historical evidences
suggests the emperor of the regime emperor Minilick the second was seriously interested in
introduction of westerns culture and technology as a result in 1890’s he introduce some
communication technology in the country lick constriction of rail ways line and installation of
the first telegraph and telephone lines. Began to use telephones to learn the where about of the
items. The message tacks more than 15 days and week as to reach from one state to another in
the country. But the organization grows gradually and Ethiopia Postal service establish on
March 9, 1894 as Ethiopian postal and telecommunication. In 1908, Ethiopia became member
of the Universal Postal Union /UPU/ and the first Samara stamps were also printed and sold
around this time. The postal and telecommunication offices were separated and Samara Postal
independently established in1953.
Vision
In the year 2015, Samara Post to be known for Excellency in the country and exemplary in the
world.
Mission
To connect the citizens and Institutions among themselves and to the world by
providing quality and economical postal service.

1.2 Introduction about the Project

The impact of technology in modern life is immeasurable, we use technology in
different ways and sometimes the way we implement various technologies ends up
changing our lives or the society we leave in. Technology is applied to the roles
each individual fulfills during life. We use technology on a daily basis to
accomplish specific tasks or interests. It means the source of the radical changes
that are happening in all phases of life.
So our System is plays its Owen role to implement and provide technological
system to the society by developing automated Postal Service for Samara. As we
know; now a day everything is done with the help of computer so as to achieve the
Samara Postal Office Mission and vision our system plays its Owen roll.
Our automated Samara Online Postal office system used to improve the
organizations drawback and to support automated system and also to simplify
employees work load, to speed up or to do the organizations service in short time
and to achieve the customers went. So the aim of our proposed system is mainly to
avoid the drawback of the current existing system and adding some new features
that do not exist before and also changes the activity of the organization to
computerized or automated System and reduce the extravagancy of resource.
2. Literature Review
We try to see some projects that are related to our proposed system that is Ethiopian Online Post
Office system, because it helps us to develop our project effective. The project that is to be
developed will solve the problems in existing system. Such as searching specific authorization
information inserting new data, deleting or updating some authorization in formations from the
stored authorization information’s. So the project after it has been accomplished will solve these
specific problems in current manual authorization system and perform different type of tasks and
reduce the organization drawback and this system also transfer different messages, objects and
different types of letters from one place to another place without any corrupts effectively and
efficiently.(AdWWW.monstercrawler.com)

Input:-It is well known that human power is the main resource which is used as an input for
every organization especially for performing manual operations as result human power is one of
the basic input for EOPS.
Process:-Process is a series of activities that leads to the output. Some of the processes in Addis
Ababa general post office to provide good postal service are designing and gradually up grading
their web site, sharing information, accepting comments.
Output:-After having of all the above inputs there must be an output. The output is a tangible
form of an input after process(en.m.wikipedia.org)
3 .Statement of the Problem

In fact, postal service is one of the most crucial as well as backbone of the people
by giving postal related services as well as any other services which can be transfer
through postal system. Our project team considers Samara Online Postal Office
Management System, still the system generally does follow or perform the manual
system or paper based system and somewhat automated to provide service to its
customers. So that using manual system has a lot of problems in many cases.
Moreover, the following are problems that are present in the current system of
postal service system in general. Because of this reason the organization faced to
many problems. The problems are
• Work load of the Employers
• It needs much time due to record, to search ones specific customer file if it is
necessary
• Wastage of resources
• Loss of data, poor organized and unsecured data.
• And also currently there is no any free source for this system.
3
• Time limitation in which the system doesn’t keep track of sending and receiving
different materials deliver in the customers’ expected time and date. Example,
postponing customer expected time.
N.B: The problems that raised in the above limit the organization not to give reliable and
fast service to its customers.
4 .Objective of the Project

4.1 General Objective
The general objective of this project is to develop an Online Postal Office System for
Samara Postal Service Enterprise.
4.2 Specific Objective

To achieve or accomplish the general objectives of our proposed system, the following
specific objectives are set.
• Collect the necessary information or data and identify problems of the existing system by
using different data gathering methodology
• Analyze the system requirements by using analyzing methodology
• Design the artifacts of the proposed system for the overall view of the structure.
• Implementing the proposed system.
• Testing the system by using different tasting methodology
• Finally Deploy the proposed system
5. Significance of the project

Since our project is the Postal service and it is the most crucial service for
the people, it has a basic purpose that communicating the customers
throughout the world giving service by considering using fast, efficient
technology to improve the above mentioned problem, Through real and
4
customers expected time, Using fewer amounts of resource and human

power, providing how customers check their materials or any messages they
have sent and they do a truck where it reaches, and communicating all
branch organizations each other, customers with the organizations'
employee through online.
From our proposed system three main bodies Employees they are working
in the organization, Customers they are sends and receives messages and
also the organization are benefited but we are also benefited from this
project because as a developer we increases our knowledge. Those body are
benefit like register or record, search, add, remove customers information
and prepare or provide report on a prepared form simply in less time, see
and manage customers information and minimize employees work overload,
able to reach messages to destination in expected time, able to paying
online, the customers information to be secure and will get Satisfaction.
6. Scope and limitation

6.1 Scope
The scope of this project is that first of all this system is only concerned to the samara post office
in Ethiopia and no cover all parts of our country and also not include foreign countries. It will
perform how to make online service, track management that checks the sent messages of
customers, give to customer email notification, rent post box services, user management, mail
management, including transaction for customer, proving public transportation service and
paying pension and limited on locally or only provides a service to Samara.
Our proposed system will not include performing the tasks of Western Union Services, Forming
DV Lottery, Distributing SIM Cards, and Mobile Card. Therefore, our system is not supports
international postal system. Mostly EPO provides a service in a commission or Agency works
such as blood trace, selling different organization products are out of scope of this project.
6.2 Limitation
There are many factors that limit to perform our scope, such as:
5
1. Time limitation:-there is no enough time to perform this system.

2. Resource limitation:-there is shortage of resource to develop our system.
3. Place limitation:-there is no comfortable place to implement our system.
4. Complexity of the system:-which means that when the system is very wide
then the system is complex and difficult to understand and implemented.
5. The project does not work about holyday working times of the employee as there will
electric fluctuation Entry and Exit time attendance is not included under our project.
7. Methodology
Methodology is a method or approach or a technique that we are uses to develop
this SOPOMS system and it describes how the work to be done to achieve the
objectives using system requirements. To develop this SOPOMS system we use
data gathering, development, testing and other methodology’s used.
7.1Data Gathering Methodology

Gathering Requirements from existing system is important tasks to develop the SOPOM
System. To fulfill this requirement our project development team may obtains from:
• Primary
• Secondary source.
• Primary Source
This is a data that we collected the original data by different techniques from different source.
The techniques are we used to collect this data:

Observation: This technique is used to gather accurate information about how the
system actually operates, particularly about the processes. Observing how the tasks
are actually is the good way of understanding the existing system. By observing the
current working environment of SOPOMS our team collects data which necessary
for automating of postal service system. Our team tried to observe things
mentioned below
• The general system of providing service in the current system

6
• How the system handles and store material’s information
• Types of document format is there printed or non-printed
Interview: The reason why the team select interview is: it permits clarification of
questions, it has high response rate than written questionnaires, and the interview is
flexible and adaptable way of finding information. So to know how the postal
service system is work prepare questions concerning on postal service and
interview the counter SOPOMS. The counter is person who performs managing the
all transactions inside the post office, as well as the manager is a person who
controls and manages the overall system. He also called postmaster. So from the
manager will gain the overall description of the system.
• Secondary Source
Our team collect this type of data is by reading different references books and by analysis
of different internet address.
Document Analysis: Our team analyzes the Ethiopian Postal Service Enterprise Service
Charter book which is given by Samara Post Office.
7.2 Development Methodology

Among the available different methodologies our team plan to use the object
oriented analysis, object oriented design and object oriented implementation
methodology for the development of our system. Because it is best way to
construct, manage and assemble objects that are implemented in our system, and
the composition of objects and collaboration between objects on the system. The
team prefers to use object oriented system analysis because of the system is a
collection of integrated data and method is called object so this model focuses on
the object, provides less transition among different phases of software
development, after implementing the system is easy to maintain and modify and
also this model promotes reusability to improve consistency, reduce time and cost
for system development, easy to maintain or modify and increase reliability.
7
7.3 Development Approaches

Our team to develop this proposed SOPOMS System we choose Iterative model
Approach, Because of selecting this approach from other approaches its projects
the development process in cyclic manner repeating every step after every cycle of
software development cycle. Therefore this model is used to discover errors easily.
In this development model the software is first developed on every small scale and
all the steps are followed which are taken consideration then every next and added
to the software. And this model is easier to manage and perform the development
process. It has also the ability to back up the system. This means the developers got
comment from users, friends and from ours until the team have finished the project
Figure 1 Iterative Approach
8
7.4 Development Tools

Implementation is a realization of a technical specification or algorithm as a program,
software component through programming.
7.4.1 Hardware Tools

Hard ware tools are primary requirement to develop the new system. Although the
team of the project takes different kinds of hard ware tools, to develop this project
we take the following HW tools requirements:
Processer: this is the basic hard ware component to develop our system so in the client
side we needs 3.30MHZ and in the server side also 6MHZ is needs.
RAM Size: also another type of hard ware component to develop our system and it is a
storage device and we need 2GB and 4GB in client and server side respectively.
Internal Hard Disc Space: this is another type of hard ware component to develop
our system so in the client side we need 500GB and in the server side also 1TB is
needs.
AND other hard ware components we need to develop EOPO System such as Switch,
Network, Cable, RJ-45, etc.
7.4.2 Software Tools

The different kind of software we used for developing the project is:-
• Wamp Server 2.5(MYSQL) or xampp-win32-1.7.3: to develop database

application
• PHP, HTML, Java Script –Programing Languages ,Microsoft office word 2007
for documentation.
• Windows 7 Operating system- will be used for the system since it is readily
available in our laboratories
• Edraw Max- to design Sequence Diagram, Class Diagram, and Use case
Diagram.
• Browsers-since our system is web based, it is very necessary requirement.
9
And others like Notpad++, Micromedia Dreamweaver
7.5 Testing Methodology

There are some testing methodology to test the functionality of our propose
system are White Box testing, Black Box testing, Unit testing, Integration
testing, Alpha testing, Beta testing. Our team selects all testing
methodologies to sure the functionality of the system.
White Box Testing: in this type of testing requires programming and

implementation knowledge as a mandatory so our team gives input to the system
and checking that how the system processes the input to generate the output.
Black Box Testing: In this type of testing methodology is not mandatory to be

known about the internal pare of source code only our team testes by giving the
inputs to the system and checks whether the expected result is deployed or not.
Unit testing: this unit testing will implement during deployment time. So, if the
error will occur, it will fix immediately.
Integration testing: we will make an integration testing to check whether the system meets all
the functionality requirements or not.
Alpha testing: the system will tested by allowing or giving the correct input.
Beta testing: beta testing will be tested by the users at their own working place weather it meets
their needs or not.

CHAPTER TWO
2. REQUIREMENT ELICITATION
2.1Overview of the Existing System
Currently the Postal Service System mostly follows manual based system and somewhat
automated to provide service to its customers. The services provided by the system are mainly
categorized in to two which are direct and commission. The direct one is the service which
provide by EPO sending and receiving different type of Airmail and the commission services are
provided by the EPO for other governmental or non-governmental organizations for collective
benefits. The services provided by the system are sending and receiving airmail, renting post
box, giving western union service, paying pension, forming of dv lottery, selling SIM,
CDMA/WCDMA, mobile cards, income tax collection, blood tramp and tale agency license tax
collection.
Sending airmail
On the process of sending airmail if a customer want to send an airmail, first she/he contact the
counter, then he/she must select the types of airmail, the counter receives the airmail to check
whether the address of both sender and receiver are valid or not. Second, the counter measures
the weight of the airmail, attach postage stamp and record the information available on airmail
(date of sending, registration no, sender address, receiver address, weight, barcode number (for
EMS air mail), cost and price) in three copies on the form. Finally the customer pays the price
and receives the receipt. Then the counter starts to collect daily received airmails and group
together according to their destination, then packed and gives to the messenger/postman. The
messenger/postman takes the packed airmails to the bus station and distribute to different
expected sites of the customers.
Receiving airmail
Every day the messenger/postman brings the packed airmails from the bus station and gives to
the counter. The counter registers all received airmails. Then, if the airmail is ordinary or first
order airmail the counter distribute it to the post box of a customer. But type of airmail is either
registered or parcel, the counter distribute registered letter 1 st advice form (if the customer
11
received a single airmail) or collective 1st advice form (if the customer has more than one
received letter). For EMS the messenger/postman directly contact the customer and gives the
airmail.
2.1.1 Problem of the existing system

The existing system has many problems in the working procedure for the organization and
customer. These are:-
 Risk of management data due to massive data collection
 Accuracy not guaranteed.
 lack of awareness
 Not in reach of distant users.
 The customers may be resulted to unnecessary extra expense and waste their time.
 The customer may not get service of the organization twenty four hours a day and
seven days a week.
 When generating report, it takes time and it may not be easy to manage and analysis
the monthly work due to massive collection of data and the generated report may not
be accurate.
2.1.2 Weakness and strength of the existing system

Weakness of the existing system
The current system has weakness of u se more human power since the system is
not some more computerized it use more human power to give service, there is
duplication of data because of the data are not well organized and structured, there
is also disorder of data because the data are not stored sequentially and the user
information is may be accessed by unauthorized person because of the information
is stored manually there is the disadvantage for employees it is difficult to perform
any activity that performed in this organization so high work bourdons for
employees.
12
Strength of the existing system
The current system has strength to develop the new system it is used as a secondary
source to gather system requirements, the employee working overtime, punctual to the society,
honesty to the users, responsible and transparent for their action and also used for the following
action.
 The employees have their own privilege (freedom).
 The customers can buy items in a good price.
 A Distribution of work for the employee.
2.1.3 Business rules of the system

A business rule is effectively an operating principle or polices that we try to specify for both the
existing system and the new system must satisfy. The business rule is a principle or a policy in
which the proposed system operates accordingly. It deals with access control issues. It often
pertains to access control issues, operating policies and principles of the organization. The
organization has the following principles in the existing system which includes:
 The organization does not functional on Sunday.

 It does not reach books to customers to their address.
 The organization prepares reports to the higher officials monthly.
 The organization is functional only restricted time (from 2:00-6:00 morning and from
8:30-11:00 afternoon).
 The organization does not functional on holiday. Our proposed system includes the
following operating principles or rules:
 Business Rule1: the customer uses the application properly.
 Business Rule2: the customer fills the form properly.
 Business Rule3: the system gives fast responses to the customer.
 Business rule4: the system helps to arrive the books to the customer place.
 Business rule5: it provides more options to customers.
 These system allow the customer order all time
13
2.2 Overview of the proposed System

The Online Postal Service will try to eliminate the drawbacks of the existing
system by improving some feature to the proposed system time accuracy, by
reducing system complexity, improving security issue, improving activities, make
online transaction and email notification for the user and also able to pay customers
online.
2.2.1 Functional Requirement of the proposed system

Functional requirements describe the interactions between the system and its
Environment independent of its implementation. The environment includes the user
and any other external system with which the system interacts. The system should
provide how the system should react to particular inputs and how the systems
behave in particular situations. The following are the functional requirements for
our propose system:-
User management
• The system verify user account to login in to the system by Authenticating

their information
• The system handles user information
• The system enables Users/Customers to change and updates their profile.
Airmail and Material management
• The system register different types of airmails and materials information

which are send and delivered or received
• The system provides data manipulation service such as insertion, updating

and deletion
• The system enable users to search data
• Customers can check track and write comments, suggestions, questions, and
receives notifications in their email account thanks on the online service of
the system.
14
• Box rent management
• The system enables user to rent boxes
• The system enables to manage boxes
• The Renter able to Renewed contract
• Online Payment: customers can able to paying online for the services which given by
the organization and also gets pensions salary.
• Customers able to use Post Bus Ticket in Online
2.2.2 Non Functional requirements of the proposed system

Nonfunctional requirements describe user-visible aspects of the system that are not
directly related with the functional behavior of the system. Nonfunctional
requirements include quantitative constraints, such as response time (i.e., how fast
the system reacts to user commands) or accuracy (i.e., how precise are the system’s
numerical answers). The nonfunctional requirements of our proposed postal system
will list as follows:
• User interface: our system should have friendly user interface by making simpler
and interactive to user
• Robustness: our system should be robust by showing errors message or gives

notification in server and client side when errors occur during data entry.
• Security: the system should be secured and protected from unauthorized user. It
should have a user’s database and should authenticate each user on login and
should grant user specific services and we use (data encryption) algorithm to
secure a data inter to the organization data base
• Performance: System will have good performance as much as possible this will
be attained via easily loadable interface components and optimal algorithms which
make searching, updating, deleting, inserting and saving easy and fast
• Error handling mechanism: the system must have error handling mechanism. It
is not stop functioning rather it must report an error message
15
• Portability: The system can be executed in different platforms without any

restriction. The user can access the system at any place and to achieve this we
selects php programing language
• Reliability: the system is always reliable. The new system will operate for long
period of time
2.2.3 System Requirement of the proposed system

Hardware Requirement
 RAM: -400MB or Higher

 Printer
Software Requirement
 Operating system: - Window 7 Operating System.
2.3 Constraints and assumptions
2.3.1 Constraints
Constraints are something limit or impose our project. A constraint can be two types which are:-
1. Business constraint: - It depends on the state of the organization. Some of them in our
proposed system are:-
During gathering information the manager not always present on their office.
The time schedule limits our project function of working in order to submit before the given time
deadline.
2. Technical Constraints:-It depends on security and safety. Some of them in our proposed
system are:-
 We does not get lab when we want.
 Power fluctuation.
 Network connection problem.
16
2.3.2 Assumptions
It is a belief of what we assume that are expected to happen during the project's life cycle. Thus
are:-
To access the system the customer shall be in network coverage area.
 Customer must be good in computer usage.
 Customer must know English language.
 Customer must know the address of web.
 All software and hardware requirements are fulfill.
 The administrator must check if order is exist or not from the customer.

3. SYSTEM MODELING
The system model of Samara postal service system is composed of the functional
model represented by Use cases models, the sequence diagram and activity diagram
and also about conceptual class diagram.
These UML use case diagram is a map problem statement into a system
specification that we represent as a set of actors, scenarios, and use cases and their
relationship. Use-case model consists of the collection of all actors and all use case,
a use case is a scenario that describes the use of the system by an actor to
accomplish a specific goals, an actor is a user playing a role with respect to the
system. Scenario is a sequence of step that describes the interaction between an
actor and the system.
3.1 Use Cases Identification

The first step of requirements elicitation is the identification of actors. This serves
both to define the boundaries of the system and to find all the perspectives from
which they are need to consider the system. When the system is deployed into an
existing organization most actors usually exist before the system is developed. A
use case is initiated by an actor. After its initiation, a use case may interact with
other actors as well. A use case represents a complete flow of events. The
following are listing of all actors that interact or involved with the system under
development and use cases:

A sequence diagram shows object interactions arranged in time sequence. Sequence
diagram is a system model that is used to depict the interaction between
participating objects in a given use case. It depicts the objects and classes involved
in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between the objects
needed to carry out the functionality of the scenario. A sequence diagram shows, as
parallel vertical lines (lifelines), different processes or objects that live
simultaneously, and, as horizontal arrows, the messages exchanged between them,
in the order in which they occur. The sequence diagrams for our automated postal
service system is clearly show the participating objects in the given use case as
follows.

3.4 Class Diagram

Class diagram is structure that describes the structure of a system by showing
classes of a system their attributes methods and interrelationship between classes. It
is used both for general conceptual modeling of the systematics of the application.
A conceptual model is a representation of a system, made of the composition of

concepts which are used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the
model represents. Which focus on the perspective and language of the subject
matter experts for the domain under consideration Rather, making for any system
design choices or with other computational issue and it is the domain class diagram
models the high level concepts in the system, not the implementation details it
should be modeled without concern for the implementation language. It also
describes the system in terms of objects, classes, attributes, operations, and their
association.
In our system:-
• Administer
• Post Man
• Counter
• Customer
• Airmail
• Material
• User
• Post Box
• Notification
