CORE VALUES R- ighteous, results-based and responsible governance M- oral courage, integrity and honesty T- ransparency, trust and respect for self and others U- nity in diversity and being one the community BRIEF HISTORY The Ramon Magsaysay Technological University, a merger of three public education institutions in the province of Zambales, was established by virtue of Republic Act 8498 enacted on February 12, 1998 through the initiative of Antonio M. Diaz. The University Charter integrated the former Ramon Magsaysay Polytechnic College (RMPC) in Iba, the Western Luzon Agricultural College (WLAC) in San Marcelino, an the Candelaria School of Fisheries (CSF), after a three-year transition period. The strengths of its parents-institutions, which had existed since the early 1990s served RMTU’s springboard for its accelerated growth and development. The RMPC in 1998, which is now RMTU’s main Campus, was found as a farm school in 1910. It was converted into a provincial trade in 1919. Through the years, it metamorphosed into Zambales Trade School on 1993., Western Luzon School of Arts and Trades in 1953, Zambales Scool of Arts and Trades in 1957, Ramon Magsaysay Memorial School of Arts and Trades in 1961. It became a DECS supervised College (RMPC) in 1993 and chartered state...

...This paper analyzes the Building Management System for a property. All buildings have some form of mechanical and electrical services in order to provide the facilities necessary for maintaining a comfortable working environment. These services have to be controlled by some means to ensure comfort conditions. Basics controls take the form of manual switching, time clocks or temperature switches. Here if Building Management System is introduced, we are able to get a comfortable working environment in an efficient way. Building Management Systems (BMS) comprises a massive variety of technologies, across commercial, industrial, institutional and domestic buildings, including energy management systems and building controls. (Gary Mills 2004-2009) A Building Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems. Manual work consumes time and energy and there are always chances of human errors. Technology and new systems are always changing with time and therefore it is very important for any property to keep up to date with the new technology and system. A BMS plays a vital role in any hotel or any business property. (Native Systems 2011) Building Management Systems (BMS) are computer based systems which control and monitor building services automatically. These services include heating, air conditioning...

...knowledge workers using the data warehouse/data mart grows and the amount of data increases daily, performance problems have become a major concern of both the Information Systems staff and the users. Many options have been tried in an attempt to solve the performance problems – from bigger hardware to different software or database tuning and redesign using star schemas or snowflake data structures. However, all have limitations – either in functionality or in terms of cost – and their strengths are almost inevitably outstripped by users’ demands. During the past three years, data warehousing has emerged as one of the hottest trends in information technology for corporations seeking to utilise the massive amounts of data they are accumulating. Managers from all business disciplines want enterprise wide information access, as well as the ability to manipulate and analyse information that the company has gathered for a single purpose, to make more intelligent business decisions. Whether to increase customer value, identify new markets or improve the management of the firm’s assets, the data warehouse promises to deliver the information necessary to accomplish these tasks quickly and efficiently. This report entails various aspects of Data Warehousing, ranging from a clear and concise definition of its working system through to its operational environment. It discusses its implications and effects on internal and external interaction. I have presented my finding with the backing...

...certifiable Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure the consistent manufacturing of reliable, high-grade products. The ISO 9000 family for QMS provides organizations with the necessary guidance and tools for increased product quality, customer satisfaction, and a sustainable methodology to identify improvement. The new version of ISO 9001:2015 QMS, due to be published by September 2015, will center on managing risks in an efficient manner. ISO 9001 over the Years The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was founded in 1946 to establish a common set of standards in trade, manufacturing, and technology, and it comprises national standards institutes and organizations of 163 countries worldwide. Every five years, the entire suite of ISO standards undergoes an overhaul to keep it current and updated. ISO 9001 provides a quality management standard for employees, facilities, infrastructure, training, services, and equipment across the enterprise. It was first developed in 1987 from the military, American National Standards institute (ANSI), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and British Standards Institute (BSI) standards with 20 elements, also known as ‘buckets’. In 1994, this standard went through a minor revision with many additions and changes such as new requirements for a quality manual, quality planning and design validation. In 2000, the ISO 9001 was re-sequenced based on the process approach and the PDCA cycle and the eight quality management principles became...

...concerned with the proposed system. This is with an idea of suggesting the best methods of information management through the use of data warehouse concepts for the proposed Greenville School Hostel Management System. The result of literature review gives us information with regard to the research done on the topic by others researchers. Result of this review will be the gaps that are found in the existing works and the good features that can be suggested for the proposed system. A data warehouse is projected in a way that data can be stored and accessed and is not restricted only to tables and relational lines. (Fink, 1998) As the data warehouse is separated from operational databases, user’s queries do not cause any impact in these systems. Data warehouse is protected from any non-authorized alteration or loss of data. Data warehouse contemplates the base and the resources needed for a Decision Support System (DSS), supplying historic and integrated data. These data are for top managers, decision makers, and partners, donors – who need brief, summarized and integrated information – and for low-level managers, for whom detailed data helps to observe some tactical aspects of the organization. In this way, data warehouse provides a specialized. For a centralized database oracle will be used for storing details of data being brought from different hostel location of the organization and saved into single database using oracle database management system.

...aspects. The discussion here is about the data warehouse design and usage in the case of the University of Nairobi Environment. Data warehouse can be built using a top-down approach, bottom – down approach or a combination of both. In this research paper we are discussing about the data warehouse design process. Data Warehouse (DWH) systems are used by decision makers for performance measurement and decision support. Currently the main focus of the DWH research field is not as much on the interaction of the DWH with the organization, its context and the way it supports the organization’s strategic goals, as on database issues. The aim of the study is to emphasize and describe the relationship between the DWH and the organization with conceptual models, and to use this knowledge to support data interpretation with business metadata. KEYWORDS Data Warehouse (DWH) Data Mart Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL); Software that is used to extract data from a data source like a operational system or data warehouse, modify the data and then load it into a data mart, data warehouse or multi-dimensional data cube.
