1. INTRODUCTION

Providing central direction in the cooperative development and use of Science, Technology, and Innovation in building smarter and disaster-resilient communities through its core values Teamwork Excellence Commitment Competence Integrity (TECCI), the Department of Science and Technology R02 (DOST02) envisioned to be the lead STI Hub for fair and excellent service. As a partner in achieving such goal, DOST02 seeks to enhance its procedures by applying the current smart technology [1]. To remark, the execution of its projects and activities depends much on its internal procedures. Long realizing the vital role Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play as employment generators, promoters of domestic activity, and creators of innovative products and technologies in the nation to realize the goal of continuous economic growth and development of the nation, DOST has long been appreciating them. For the past fifteen years, DOST02 and its five Provincial Science and Technology Centers in Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Batanes are constantly finding ways to carry out the department’s rural projects—more especially, the Small. SETUP is a national plan meant to help MSMEs implement technological advancements in order to enhance their operations and thereby increase their production and competitiveness [2]. Through better product quality, human resources development, cost minimization and waste management, and other operation-related activities (DOST Administrative Order No. 002 SETUP Guidelines 2.0), the program helps companies to solve their technical problems by means of technology transfer and technological interventions so improving productivity. SETUP has reached particular benchmarks.609M has been funded to SETUP Beneficiaries (DOST02 SETUP throughout the Years), therefore helping 687 companies altogether. Given the current state of affairs whereby everyone depends on technology, DOST02 has to enhance its internal procedures to boost efficiency and effectiveness in carrying out its banner program – SETUP, thereby improving the whole performance of the company [3]. The created system seeks to help the company to realize its goal of a user-friendly, efficient, and successful integrated management system. It will create a setting where the User may control the movement data or information across the complete life cycle. The paper was delivered personally from the provincial offices to the regional office prior to system deployment. Each of the SETUP recipients has a separate hardcopy record kept by every PSTC [4]. Digital form of records did not exist. It was almost difficult to get any necessary information about any particular SETUP project, including project status or action performed right away. Should it be feasible, it took time. An annual growing quantity of SETUP projects made the situation worst for RPMO and Finance. Managing the projects personally was therefore a quite tiresome task. Furthermore, by only visiting the system online, the proposed solution will help users to access and oversee SETUP projects [5]. Professionals have fresh opportunities for information management as computerization and network use keep developing. Thus, the evolution of SPMAMS of the Department of Science and Technology Region 02 is essential to have online access of the system’s User and to have an efficient and successful operation of its report preparation. Before designing the project, the researcher/developer took numerous elements into account. Among them are the following: a) Show current hand-crafted method for creating reports and turning in documentation b) time spent processing and submitting needs and reports by DOST02 RPMO and PSTC staff [6]. Moreover, the availability of SPMAMS online would be a tremendous advantage, convenience, and comfort for the DOST 02 staff in updating records and profiles, producing correct reports, accelerating procedures, and so removing heavy paper tasks. Data consolidation processes have possibilities for mistakes; so, it is impossible to completely exclude them. Usually, attempts to correct the found mistakes cause delays in the process [7]. Moreover, internet access to be offered to its beneficiaries would be a tremendous aid to be updated in the situation of their payments and accounts. At last, reports accessible to the OuSecRO will be available online. This thus helped to enhance the internal process of DOST02 thereby enabling improved customer service [8]. This study applies input-process-output (IPO). The researcher intends to ascertain the challenges and issues, data sets, policies, and guidelines in the execution of SETUP, which were applied to ascertain what is needed by the system. Analyzing the current system, the study’s input consists in questions, difficulties, and concerns. A prototype developed, shown, and polished in the process phase. The software model applied for the prototype and the software development lifecycle came next. Up until the prototype underwent final testing, several assessments of it were carried out [9]. The interested parties handled this procedure. This study under the output phase produces the proposed SETUP Project Management and Monitoring System. The SETUP Project Monitoring and Management system of DOST-R02 was intended generally to be designed, developed, and implemented. It sought, more especially, create timely and valuable reports including payments, supplier information, project maintenance, evaluation, and others; also, create a system that conforms with ISO 25010 Software Quality Standards by means of an online SETUP reporting process securely accessible by authorized DOST-R02 personnel [10]. The proposed system is to benefit various stakeholders, including the SETUP recipient, customers, and the Office of the Undersecretary for Regional Operations (OuSecRO). It will update accounts of every SETUP recipient, provide real-time subsidiary ledger access, and benefit future scholars. The system will also enable the submission of data for monitoring and evaluation of projects by Provincial Science and Technology Centers (PSTCs). The Regional Project Monitoring Office (RPMO) will function as a data bank, providing status updates, analysis, and reporting [11]. The system will be beneficial for the company in monitoring and assessing projects, especially for the growing number of beneficiaries. The study defined terms such as Centre Manager (CM), Data flow diagrams, evaluation, monitoring, Project Information Sheets (PIS), and the Regional Project Monitoring Office (RPMO) at DOST 02, which ensures program execution in accordance with national guidelines and policies. With debits and credits in separate columns and a beginning and ending monetary balance for every account, the subsidiary ledger-computer file records and totals economic transactions measured in terms of a monetary unit of account-by-account type. Designed nationally, the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) aims to support MSMEs in implementing technology advancements to enhance their operations and increase their competitiveness and output. A web application is a software system using a web browser to offer a user interface.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

The study applied a descriptive and developmental research design. As gathering data, the researcher aimed to understand the viewpoints, experiences, and issues found in the manual system. Descriptive research uses some of the popular data collecting techniques—such as surveys and interviews—on questions.

Figure 01: Rapid Application Development

It applied Rapid Application Development in the Development Research Design. The study, design, development, testing, implementation of the created system, and other processes drew their foundation from this approach. The researcher engaged in the following using the RAD approach: Requirement Analysis and Planning. During this phase, the researcher gathered data to ascertain the need and issues found in the current system, so guiding the construction of the system. To ascertain the system needs, interviewed the subjects of the study design here. Based on the acquired requirements, the conceptualized database design and structure, and the system architecture, the researcher deduced the likely output of the system. Most specifically in the office of the Field Operation Services, the researcher also presented and spoke with the users to get their opinions, criticisms, and recommendations for the evolved system. Fast building [12]. The study worked in the development and testing of the system in this phase to ensure that everything was running as expected and that the output satisfied the needs of the end users and research objectives. This phase was crucial since the client still required to provide comments all during the process. They recommended tweaks, adjustments, or even fresh concepts to address evolving issues. Cutover is The launched final product came from the implementation stage. Along with user training, it covered data conversion, testing, and switch to the upgraded system. Every improvement was done while clients and programmers kept searching the system for flaws. This study was carried out at Regional Office 02 of the Department of Science & Technology. Every participant comes from the Regional Office; officials from Provincial offices and the Accounting Unit also attend. Considering the problems and issues users of the current system faced, the researcher was in charge of the general design and development of the system. The system administrator charged with adding, changing, removing user accounts will be the RPMO user. The cashier responsible for entering and updating client subsidiary ledgers will be from the accounting unit. Additionally, in charge of entering consumer monitoring and assessment data will be the PSTC staff. Random selection of the study participants allowed the SETUP Project Monitoring and Management System for DOST 02 to be tested and validated.

Table 01: Number of respondents

The DOST Staff was handed an interview guide. The survey instrument serves as the guide in data collecting. The efficiency of the created system was tested in the post-survey using the ISO 25010 Survey Questionnaire. Appropriate data and information for the study were gathered using the following tools: Interview: Regarding the study, the researcher posed enquiries. This ongoing approach helped to progressively create a model for the system and acquire knowledge of the shortcomings of the present one. Interview form. The quality of the created system was evaluated by the researcher using ISO 25010 Software Quality Characteristics [13]. The Researcher’s collected data were compiled and arranged for study and interpretation.

Figure 02: System Architecture

The intended design and operations of the produced system were achieved with suitable software tools. One of the more ancient and widely used languages in which web applications have evolved is Java. In the course of the created project, Java-based web application development utilizing Servlets and JSP is most relevant [14].

Figure 03: Use Case Diagram

Java is a rigorous object-oriented language in which every function call is meant to either static methods of classes or non-static methods triggered via class instances. These classes are arranged into namespaces known as packages such that unqualified class names do not require global uniqueness. Widely used in the industry for web applications, Tomcat is a free open-source implementation of J2EE web containers offered by the Apache Software Foundation. Added to HTML files, Java Server Pages (JSP) are a notation allowing per-request functionality to be included to otherwise statically-defined HTML [15]. The study selected JSP since the web container compiles the JSP files at runtime to find syntax mistakes there at runtime. Placing this code inside Servlets detects syntax issues at compile-time, therefore enabling early detection and correction of these mistakes. Along with moving controller logic into Java Servlets, the Servlet method also moves database access and other logic into Java beans, so activating most of the Java bean capability from the servlets. Although there are several approaches to create Java-based web applications, the researcher used what is sometimes known as the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture. Persistence and business logic (model), user interface generation (view), and user input (controller) are the three areas of interest the MVC approach tries to separate code into. Usually used in Java applications, MVC is accomplished by creating HTML from Java Server Page (JSP) scripts and servlet handling of received requests [16]. Data access objects (DAOs) help to persist data; business logic is housed inside servills or other classes.  The back-end database, which housed all of the records, was MySQL as well.

3. RESULTS & DISCUSSION

The design, implementation, and testing of an online system for DOST02 is covered in this study together with the functional range of work of the “SETUP Project Monitoring and Management System for DOST02”. Authorized DOST-R02 staff should securely access an online SETUP reporting mechanism that automates project monitoring, evaluation, and technology transfer procedure. The created system was built employing the acquired knowledge and data by means of the following: The agency’s need of an online system Having an online system will be very helpful to the five (5) staff members engaged in the project implementation monitoring in the storage of data, project monitoring, and administration considering the rising number of SETUP Beneficiaries based on the interview findings. The current mechanism applied in SETUP beneficiary monitoring Compiled each province and year, the data reveals that the DOST Staff continued to submit physical reports using the manual approach. When creating reports needed by the Central Office or other agencies, these reports were also personally scrutinized. This problem produced slowing down of report generation and preparation. Problems and conflicts Found encountered by the DOST with the current system in terms of customer profile updating, report preparation, report submission, SETUP data storage, and report preparation. Regarding the usage of the current system in the monitoring of SETUP beneficiaries, the PSTC staff finds it challenging, particularly in the creation and submission of reports employing the manual submission of the accomplished physical form. Like the Regional Office in the aggregation of reports and data conversion to analysis, one of the concerns expressed to SETUP beneficiaries was real-time access of the account ledger. Since the development depends on an evaluation of the demands of the end-users, which is the DOST staff and its SETUP Beneficiaries, these difficulties and issues discovered were used as inputs or requirements to create the online system. From its keeping of customer profiles, updating of project status, updating of repayment, generation of reports, these cover all the extent of work the office undertakes. Create timely and worthwhile reports including payments, supplier data, project maintenance, evaluation, and other aspects. The outcome reveals that the SETUP Project Monitoring and Management System was effectively built and applied in line with the need of the end users. Including its provincial offices, it can greatly assist the regional office in updating and synchronizing data to provide accurate reports to be sent to the central office and its clients [18].

4. CONCLUSION

This study contained a summary of the findings that served as the foundation for any conclusion that is reached as a result of this research. Additionally, this study served as the basis for presenting suggestions that are derived from this research endeavour. The outcome demonstrates that the SETUP Project Monitoring and Management System was effectively built and put into operation. When it comes to the updating and synchronisation of data, it can be of great assistance to the regional office, including its provincial offices, in order to provide correct reports that can be sent to the central office and its corresponding clients. As a result, the RPMO is able to make use of the system that has been built in order to keep track of the progress of every project that is being monitored by the provincial offices. In a similar vein, the provincial offices have the ability to rapidly update and transmit the data that is monitored online. Additionally, the OUsecRO is able to examine and generate reports online based on the most recent data with this capability. Additionally, the cashier is able to already update the real-time subsidiary ledger that can be accessed online for the benefit of the consumers. As a consequence of the findings regarding the construction of the system, it has been determined that the most effective system is one that offers helpful information and allows for user engagement on all levels. When it comes to providing the end-user with the information they require, information systems should engage and communicate with them in the most effective way possible. A descriptive interpretation of “Very Great Extent” describes the level of compliance that the Developed System has with ISO 25010 in terms of functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. The system has a score of 4.83. Using the identified issues and problems, the SETUP Project Monitoring and Management System for DOST was designed, developed, and tested. These issues and problems include the existing manual process of submitting monitoring reports and updating project status, updating subsidiary ledgers of customers, and providing a copy of subsidiary ledgers to its customers, among other things. These issues and problems can be incorporated into the online system to make the operations of the agency easier and to ensure that reports are generated quickly and accurately. It is possible that the system was able to immediately and appropriately handle the process operations and guidelines implementation at the regional office, which may be to the benefit of the project implementer as well as the customers of the project. The fact that the system was in accordance with ISO 25010, as determined by the respondents, is further demonstrated by this. The system that has been built can be put into operation by employing the algorithm that is suitable for the design, development, and testing of a project monitoring and management system for the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). There is room for additional improvement in the project monitoring and management system so that it can accommodate the preferences and choices of end-users. For the Department of Science and Technology Region 02, it is strongly suggested that they make use of the SETUP Project Monitoring and Management System (SPMAMS).
