Fishbone Diagram

A fishbone diagram, also called a cause and effect diagram or Ishikawa diagram, is a visualization tool for categorizing the potential causes of a problem in order to identify its root causes.

Figure 1.0
the Fishbone Diagram for the Barangay Records Management

The fishbone diagram of Barangay Resident Record Management consists of three causes namely process, people and security.

1. Process – it consists of two sub causes:
   1. Time consuming – the manual process takes a lot of time and it causes delay of transactions in the barangay.
   2. Unorganized records – since the process is manual, one of the common problem is the lack of records management.
2. People – the sub causes are the following:
   1. Wrong input of information – data entry is one of the factors to be consider because the researcher believes that garbage in is garbage out.
   2. Slow to response – service quality is very important that’s why automated systems must be developed.
3. Security (security and integrity of records, loss of records)
   1. Security of records – files and records are kept in a folder or cabinet in which anyone can have access to those confidential files.
   2. Loss of records – there is no backup procedure in a manual process, so if the record is gone there’s no way for it to recover.

CONCLUSION

The following conclusions were made after conducting a thorough investigation and gathering of data:

1. In the level of performance of manual record keeping system, majority of the respondents claimed that the current system is good in terms of speed, accuracy, security and usability. The researchers concluded that their current system is in the average level.
2. In the level of need to develop a computerized barangay record keeping system, most of the respondents prefer to replace the current system into a computerized record keeping system for it would be a great help to improve the performance of the Barangay.

Recommendations

The following are the researcher’s recommendation based on the findings and conclusion of the study.

1. Manual system should be replaced by computerized record keeping system for the improvement of the barangay services.
2. The management and other staff should undergo seminar’s and training regarding to the use of the automated system and when new additional options is being develop in the system.
