The Sawmill Information System (SIS) is developed using the Microsoft Access Database software. It runs on the Microsoft Window 95/98 operating system. The SIS is used to capture data gathered through the Sawmill Shuttle Returns (no.4) maintained by the Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia. It consists of 4 modules:- 1. Report module 2. Input and output module 3. Information update module and 4. Data validation module The report module is the most important feature and the largest module, while the Input and Output module is for data entry. The information update module allows the user to update all information pertaining to the state and district code, species code, sawmill code, buyer code and country code. The data validation module ensures that the data are clean and free from error. With the implementation of the SIS, data validation and accuracy will improve tremendously. This is because data captured could be immediately validated by running the data validation menu and errors could then be corrected. The SIS not only ensures timely reports but also require less manpower to maintain. Another strength of the system is the flexibility and ease of accessing the SIS for information in the prescribed format. Users can go straight to the report module to access the various reports. Alternatively, the user can create new reports in whatever format they require from the SIS. These reports can be generated within a very short period of time. The reports generated can also span over a number of years where the data for the earlier years are added to SIS.
