CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
• 1.1 Background
 Ethio telecom mainly work to fill the customers need, in efficient and within speed.
 In order to fill this need the technicians that work under FAN division must know
 The exact place where fault occur and takes the related information with that fault.
 Report their daily work easily.
 During our stay in this department the most challenging part is that the way they report their daily work and
waste most of their time by finding where the fault is occurred.
 To solve this, we developed an efficient simple Fault location identifier and daily report applications for site
technicians.
 This software system enable the site technicians to identifies where fault occur within related information's and
report their daily work in time effective method.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
 The technicians didn’t known the location where fault occur, specially new technicians.
 They waste most of the time by searching where fault occur, either subscriber house or fault on MSAG.
 More cost is wasted since they search the location by calling to customer it self also searching by car.
 Reporting their daily work is done orally by meeting their supervisor each day after work.
1.3 Objectives Of project
1.3.1 General Objective of Project
• The general objective of the project is to develop the fault location identifier and report daily work software for
FAN division of ethio telecom.
1.3.2 Specific Objective of Project
 To efficient the work flow of the company.
 Reduce human labor.
 Decreasing the cost.
 To speed up the time at the fault is troubleshooted

1.4 Significance of The Project
This fault location identifiers and daily report have many advantages
 Increase the speed at which fault is repaired
 Saving the cost
 Saving the time
 In real life, we want the people to make more used to this one of the latest technologies.
1.5 Scope and Limitation of the Project
Scope:
 It can find the location fault MSAGS
 It can find the locations of fault Subscriber Phone
 It makes to report their daily report in easy way
Limitation:
 It only searches the location of existing subscriber and MSAG.
 The status in daily report is fixed status.
 If technicians have no enough money in his phone, he is unable to search it on google map

CHAPTER TWO
LITRETURE REVIEW
 There are many work done precisely mainly related to fault location tracking
 A GPS-based Mobile Dynamic Service Locator System
 GPS-based Location Tracking System via Android Device
 Smart Fault Location for Smart Grids
 But all are based mainly on GSM and GPS which always require SIM card and any internet to operate.

CHAPTER THREE
METHODOLOGY
 3.1 Methods
 We identify the problems within FAN division, during our stay.
 We read some related material that was previously done.
 We gathered the data that was needed to begun our project from our supervisor and also co workers.
 Then we had starting doing our project.
 3.2 Design Part of The Project
A. Material/Tools Used for Design
Software Application
 Processing
 Java
 Microsoft Excel
7
Server
Google Map
GPS
Gmail
 3.3 System Design and Description of the project
 The system have five options while it runs ,based on the selection of the button it operated.
 The operation process or the system design part is shown generally as the next slide flow chart.

CHAPTER FOUR
THE FINAL OUTPUS OF THE PROJECT
4.1 Outputs of The Project
Interfaces
• These pages are just Home that displayed on the first while applications is opened in order to make the
technicians to choose what they need. As the java application the system has
 Fault Phone Number
 Fault MSAG Number
 Daily Report
 Help
 About
11
• As shown in figure below
Figure 4.1 the main page
12
If the technicians select the Fault Phone number
Figure 4.2 if the technician's select the fault phone number
13
• If map view button is clicked
Figure 4.3 if map view button is clicked and the loaded google map data
14
• If fault MSAG button is clicked then after entering the MSAG number the place of the loaded MSAG is shown below
Figure 4.1 IF the Fault MSAG button is clicked
15
• If technicians want to report their daily work ,after clicking on the daily report button then entering the fault phone or
MSAF number then selecting the status of it then through email to the supervisor
Figure 4.1 IF daily report button is clicked
16
• At the last if the help button is pressed it gives some information’s how to use this apps also if the about button
is pressed it gives information about developers.
4.2 Conclusion
• Searching the fault occur location and the way of reporting their daily work was very tedious for the part in
which we had taken our internship.
• This project are essential for ethio telecom Specially FAN division, by increasing the speed at which they
perform their given work.
