DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IN A LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT AND APPLICATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROCESSES

Abstract

Automation of enterprise activities is one of the key directions in the development of information technologies under modern conditions. However, several industries, including the maintenance of electric trains, still rely on outdated methods for managing production processes. This creates significant challenges, as this sector is associated with a high level of responsibility and potential risks. Even minor errors can lead to severe financial losses or employee injuries. One of the most pressing issues remains document management. In many cases, the transmission of critical information is carried out via phone calls, and responsibility zones are monitored using paper logs, which are often neglected. Such an approach significantly reduces operational efficiency and increases the risk of errors. The implementation of an electronic document management system has significant potential to address these issues. Such a system allows for the automation of data transfer processes, reduces the costs associated with paper documentation, optimizes workshop operations, and improves the allocation of employees’ working time. Moreover, it ensures accurate control over task execution and reduces the risk of human error, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of the enterprise. The goal of this work is to develop and implement an electronic document management system for a locomotive depot. The program implementation is supported by the following tools: the JavaScript programming language, the React.js library, the Node.js platform, Prisma ORM, and the PostgreSQL database management system. The proposed system is expected not only to lower material costs but also to establish a modern technological foundation for improving the safety and reliability of the enterprise's operations. Additionally, it will facilitate more accurate planning, monitoring, and analysis of workflows, ensuring adaptation to the growing demands of the market.
