  1. Desktop Technical ServicesCheckout SystemCOSC 2810Johanna Callan Faroza Asghar

  2. Existing System • Desktop Technical Services rents out laptops and projectors to professors and faculty • This equipment may be reserved ahead of time or may be requested by dropping by the office

  3. Existing Checkout Process • To check out, a form is filled out and placed in the ‘checked out’ bin • When equipment is returned, the form is signed by the renter and placed in the ‘checked in’ bin • Each time an item is returned, the stack of forms in the checked out bin must be sorted through by hand

  4. Existing System

  5. Problems of Existing System • For a technical services office, it seems a paper checkout system is out-of-date • It is tedious and time consuming searching through a stack of papers • Sometimes the form gets lost and cannot be found in the checkout bin • It’s easy to forget to have customer sign the form upon item return

  6. Proposed System • The new system will use an interactive graphical environment to providea user-friendly interface • Will make use of a database to store availability of items and their status

  7. Proposed System • New system would allow lab assistants to: • check in/out items • check item availability • hold reservations by name of renter • view calendar of reservations • look up rentals by item • look up rentals by name of renter • monitor current rentals

  8. DTS’ current team leader, Marc Pusateri, commented, “This new system would really improve our rental process. I would definitely recommend switching our current system to this one. ”
