　　Project: RG Truck Management

　　Description

　　The RG Truck Management tool is a brand new application to help user manage

　　RG truck group in the Dailylog, a web sy

　　stem that used by engineers at NACCO. It

　　allows user to view all RG truck groups, and let RG engineers edit group data and

　　add new groups. This application also collapses previous method of custom page for

　　each truck group to one generic page that takes the truck group name as an

　　argument.

　　Solution

　　Before this tool, when the RG engineers want to collect information about a truck

　　group, they have to give a list of the trucks they want to be in the group to the IT

　　staff. The IT staff then hard code those truck into an asp file that pulls all the data the

　　engineers needs from the database and lists in a table. They give the URL of this

　　asp file to the engineers to import into Excel to gather and graph their data.

　　Obviously, this process is quiet cumbersome. It takes a lot of time and work for the

　　IT staff, since for each new truck group the engineers request, they need to create a

　　new separate asp file. It is also a hassle for the engineers as well, because for every

　　new groups they need, they have to contact IT, and wait for that special URL, not

　　counting the huge amount of work spent on maintaining, storing and keeping tracks

　　all the files and URLs on both ends.

　　The new web tool makes the RG truck group management process much easier. It

　　consists of two parts: interfaces and a dynamic asp data collecting file. Instead of

　　requesting through IT staff each time, the engineers can go to the display page of

　　the web tool to see all the existing truck groups and the trucks in those groups. With

　　the right administrative rights, user can also add a new truck group or edit an

　　existing truck group simply by

　　clicking on the appropriate links that only show up for

　　this group of users. Once a truck group is in the system, the tool will auto generate a

　　URL for the users to import into Excel to get their data. Behind this URL, there is just

　　one asp file that takes a dynamic argument, the truck group name, and pull all the

　　data associate with this group from the database accordingly. This is dramatically

　　better than having to create and maintain multiple files. Now, everyone who needs

　　the data can just get it themselves online without waiting on multiple parties that are

　　involved in the process.

　　Conclusion

　　The new application simplifies the maintenance drastically. It gives users more

　　control without constant needs for IT intervention. Since the tool recognizes each

　　user’s credential, it secures the viewing

　　and editing of the data. Overall it improves

　　productivity and speeds up the process. When I presented this tool to the engineers

　　and leadership teams at NACOO, it was very well received.
