 Abstract
CMC Limited is a leading IT solution company and a subsidiary of Tata Consultancy
Services (TCS Ltd.), one of the world’s leading information technology consulting,
services and business process outsourcing organization.

The Industrial training of 6 weeks duration was completed in CMC Ltd. Noida in PHP
technology. The training covered the concept of web development using PHP. A Project
was completed in the same.

A project titled “Human Resource Management System” was completed successfully,

which was implemented in PHP.

The concepts of PHP including the basic concept of web development and database
were taught, which was implemented in the project.

My project “Human Resource Management System” is an online application. The main

aim of the project is to develop a Human Resource management module for the Intranet
Automation of HR Software. A Human Resource Management System (HRMS) refers to
the systems and processes at the intersection between human resource
management (HRM) and information technology (IT). It merges HRM as a discipline and
in particular it’s basic HR activities and processes with the information technology field.
The linkage of its financial and human resource modules through one database is the
most important distinction to the individually and proprietary developed predecessors,
which makes this software application both rigid and flexible.

This project mainly aims to maintain the database of the employees working in an
organization their salary, payrolls with a facility to edit and update it. The HRMS projects
facilitates user as per their hierarchy and grants privilege to them accordingly. The
complete project is designed using HTMS, CSS and JavaScript on the user interface
side and PHP with My SQL on the backhand side.

 INTRODUCTION TO THE ORGANIZATION

CMC Limited is an Information Technology services, consulting and software company

having its Headquarters in India. CMC is part of the TATA group and is a subsidiary of
TATA Consultancy Services. CMC was incorporated on December 26, 1975, as the
Computer Management Corporation Private Limited. The Government of India held 100
% of the equity share capital. On August 19, 1977, it was converted into a public limited
company. In October 2001, CMC was privatized by the Government of India, in a sale to
India based Tata consultancy Services (TCS), the largest software services company is
Asia. It also featured on top ten companies in India.

1. History

During the year 1978, when IBM wound up its operations in India, CMC took over the
maintenance of IBM installations at over 800 locations around India and
subsequently, maintenance of computers supplied by other foreign players.

CMC visualized the need for total IT system solutions in 1980 and thus aligned its focus
with the government's thrust on IT development activities. 'Project Interact' (International
Education and Research for Applications of Computer Technology), a United
Nations project involving design, development and systems-engineering of real-time,
computer-based systems dedicated to applications in the areas of power distribution,
railway freight operations management and meteorology was a significant milestone in
CMC transition from a hardware maintenance company to a complete end-to-end IT
solutions provider.

Later CMC forayed into systems integration, interfacing, installation, commissioning,

software development, as well as education and training, on an ongoing basis. CMC's
R&D facility was set up in 1982 at Hyderabad, to undertake competency development in
niche areas in the frontiers of technology.

In tune to reflect diversified business activities, CMC renamed itself to 'CMC

Limited'(Computer Maintenance Corporation) in August 1984.

CMC Limited has the credit of introducing computer applications at a mass scale in the
late 80s with its design and deployment of Indian Railways Reservation System
IMPRESS (Integrated Multi-train Passenger Reservation System) in New Delhi on
October 15th, 1985. It went on to become huge successes eventually deployed all over
India serving over half a million transactions every single day and cutting wait times for
passengers drastically. CMC also followed it up with the design of ARTS (Advanced
Railway Ticketing System) for unreserved ticketing.

Following a spurt in the global demand for IT services in the early 1990s, particularly in
the United States, CMC decided to expand its operations and market its product and
service offerings in these markets. Towards this end, in 1991, CMC acquired Baton
Rouge International Inc, USA (it was subsequently renamed CMC Americas, Inc, in
2003), one of the first cross-border acquisitions by an Indian IT firm.

In 1992, the Indian government divested 16.69 per cent of CMC's equity to the General
Insurance Corporation of India and its subsidiaries who, in turn, sold part of their stake
to the public in 1996. In 1993, CMC's shares were listed on the Hyderabad Stock
Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

To service and develop its clientele in the UK and Europe, CMC opened a branch office
in London, in 2000. The next year, the government divested 51 per cent of CMC's equity
to Tata Sons Ltd, through a strategic sale, and CMC became a part of the Tata group.

In line with its strategy of offering its products and services globally, in 2003, CMC
opened a branch office in Dubai to tap the hitherto unexplored markets of West Asia
and Africa.

In 2004, the government divested its remaining 26.5 per cent stake in CMC to the
public.

2. Branches

CMC has 18 offices, 150 service locations, 520 non-resident locations and over 10,551
employees worldwide. CMC Americas, a subsidiary, services clients in the US, while the
branch offices in the UK and Dubai market products and services in Europe, Africa and
the Middle East.

3. Large and complex project management capabilities

Since its incorporation in 1975, CMC has an enviable record of successfully building IT
solutions for massive and complex infrastructure and market projects.

Its competitive edge comes from combining our technology competencies with its
understanding of verticals, straddling a range of sectors from banking and insurance,
power, mining and defense to education. The high quality, high values IT solutions have
helped reshape businesses and delivered measurable results to our customers.

4. Sizable resource pool with diverse skill sets

They achieve this with the help of our resource pool of engineers trained in diverse
technologies, with vast domain knowledge and varied skill sets. Of our 5,551
employees, over 14 per cent have more than ten years of work experience. We have an
impeccable educational profile; as many as 26 per cent of our employees are
postgraduate.

They also conduct significant research into emerging technologies and competence
areas at our state-of-the-art, ISO 9001-certified R&D centre in Hyderabad, India. That is
what gives us an edge in complex, high technology projects.

The Systems Integration Business Unit's all four regions are at Level 5 (optimizing level)
of the SEI's Capability Maturity Model (software).

5. Strong customer relationships

CMC's customer orientation and service culture lead to enduring bonds with clients.
Their distinct value proposition and service culture, coupled with our track record of
successful service delivery, are reflected in our long-standing customer relationships
with dominant players in key infrastructure, services and government sectors.

Their customers include some of the biggest organizations in India: Reserve Bank of
India, Indian Railways, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Bharat Petroleum Corporation
Limited, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, United Western Bank, Bank of India
etc.  

6. Strong service delivery chain

In the domestic market, we have established an extensive services network penetrating

the remotest geographical locations. This gives us an unmatched advantage in
servicing customers with an all-India presence, such as the railways, banks,
government entities and other organizations with countrywide operations.
7. Growth strategies

CMC's growth strategy focuses on capitalizing on its unique skill sets and leveraging the
synergies with TCS and other Tata group companies, for growth in revenue and
profitability of our operations.

3.1 Abstract
The main aim of the project was to develop a Human Resource Module for the
Automation of HR Software in which all the information regarding the employees in the
company will be present. This has to be developed with good Interaction/
communication facilities between the employees and HR Administrator in such a
manner that a level of hierarchy was maintained between the various employees.

The web pages about an employee are created dynamically based on the user id and
password and links are provided to web pages containing information about Employee
General Profile, Salary Details, Payroll and other static links to various other pages. An
Information Hierarchy is maintained i.e. the information regarding a particular employee
is accessed by the same or any person above him in the information hierarchy. There
was also a provision for updating the details.

Each employee has the facility of Updating his General Details, Contact Details,
Education Details, Certification Details, Skill Details and Project Details. User Controls
are provided for Navigating through the web Pages. 

HR Admin page is created with HR Admin Tasks. HR Administrator is provided with

facility of Adding Employee in to the company. He adds the new employee’s General
details and can also enter his Contact, Skill, Education, Certification, and Project
Details. He also has the facility of Viewing / Updating all Employees General, Contact,
Educational and other details.

The whole project is web based and designed using WAMP server, a window based
platform for PHP web application development.

3.2 Introduction
PROPOSED SYSTEM
Decision in assigning proper skillful hands for the project is an important issue in HR
Module. The HR Administrator should report with the personal holding the necessary
skills required for the project assignment. The decision in making analysis about the
employee’s skills is a prime important before booting in. The proposed system of HR
Management is the right software to be incorporated into the Automation of HR
Software for helping the organization needs with respect to skillful Human Resource.
The Proposed system provides detail general information about the employee along
with Educational, skill and other details. It enhances the HR Management in adding,
viewing and updating employee’s details and generates various reports.

SCOPE

4. Description of the Technology and Human Resource

Management
4.1 PHP
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language originally designed for web
development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded
into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor
module, which generates the web page document. It also has evolved to include
a command-line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical
applications.PHP can be deployed on most web servers and as a standalone
interpreter, on almost every operating system and platform free of charge.A competitor
to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) server-side script engine[ and similar
languages, PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers.

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995. The main implementation of
PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP
as there is no formal specification.PHP is free software released under the PHP
License which is incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL) due to
restrictions on the usage of the term PHP.

While PHP originally stood for "Personal Home Page", it is now said to stand for
"PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", a recursive acronym.

4.2 My SQL
My SQL is a relational database management system(RDBMS) that runs as a server
providing multi-user access to a number of databases. It is named after
developer Michael Widenius' daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured
Query Language.

The My SQL development project has made its source code available under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety
of proprietary agreements. My SQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-
profit firm, the Swedish company My SQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation.

Free-software-open source projects that require a full-featured database management

system often use My SQL. For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and
offer additional functionality. Applications which use My SQL databases
include: Joomla, WordPress,  Drupal and other software built on the LAMP software
stack. My SQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale World Wide Web products,
including Wikipedia, Google (though not for searches) and Facebook.

4.3 A Human Resource Management System (HRMS) refers to the systems and

processes at the intersection between human resource management (HRM)
and information technology. It merges HRM as a discipline and in particular its basic HR
activities and processes with the information technology field, whereas the programming
of data processing systems evolved into standardized routines and packages
of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. On the whole, these ERP systems
have their origin on software that integrates information from different applications into
one universal database. The linkage of its financial and human resource modules
through one database is the most important distinction to the individually and proprietary
developed predecessors, which makes this software application both rigid and flexible.

Purpose:

The function of Human Resources departments is generally administrative and common

to all organizations. Organizations may have formalized selection, evaluation, and
payroll processes. Efficient and effective management of "Human Capital" progressed
to an increasingly imperative and complex process. The HR function consists of tracking
existing employee data which traditionally includes personal histories, skills, capabilities,
accomplishments and salary. To reduce the manual workload of these administrative
activities, organizations began to electronically automate many of these processes by
introducing specialized Human Resource Management Systems. HR executives rely on
internal or external IT professionals to develop and maintain an integrated HRMS.
Before the client–server architecture evolved in the late 1980s, many HR automation
processes were relegated to mainframe computers that could handle large amounts of
data transactions. In consequence of the high capital investment necessary to buy or
program proprietary software, these internally-developed HRMS were limited to
organizations that possessed a large amount of capital. The advent of client–
server, Application Service Provider, and Software as a Service SaaS or Human
Resource Management Systems enabled increasingly higher administrative control of
such systems. Currently Human Resource Management Systems encompass:

1. Payroll
2. Work Time
3. Appraisal performance
4. Benefits Administration
5. HR management Information system
6. Recruiting
7. Training/Learning Management System
8. Performance Record
 9. Employee Self-Service

The payroll module automates the pay process by gathering data on employee time

and attendance, calculating various deductions and taxes, and generating periodic pay
cheques and employee tax reports. Data is generally fed from the human resources and
time keeping modules to calculate automatic deposit and manual cheque writing
capabilities. This module can encompass all employee-related transactions as well as
integrate with existing financial management systems.

The work time module gathers standardized time and work related efforts. The most
advanced modules provide broad flexibility in data collection methods, labor distribution
capabilities and data analysis features. Cost analysis and efficiency metrics are the
primary functions.

The benefits administration module provides a system for organizations to administer

and track employee participation in benefits programs. These typically encompass
insurance, compensation, profit sharing and retirement.

The HR management module is a component covering many other HR aspects from

application to retirement. The system records basic demographic and address data,
selection, training and development, capabilities and skills management, compensation
planning records and other related activities. Leading edge systems provide the ability
to "read" applications and enter relevant data to applicable database fields, notify
employers and provide position management and position control. Human resource
management function involves the recruitment, placement, evaluation, compensation
and development of the employees of an organization. Initially, businesses used
computer based information systems to:

■ produce pay checks and payroll reports;

■ maintain personnel records;
■ pursue Talent Management.

Online recruiting has become one of the primary methods employed by HR

departments to garner potential candidates for available positions within an
organization. Talent Managementsystems typically encompass:

■ analyzing personnel usage within an organization;

■ identifying potential applicants;
■ recruiting through company-facing listings;
■ recruiting through online recruiting sites or publications that market to both recruiters
and applicants.

The significant cost incurred in maintaining an organized recruitment effort, cross-

posting within and across general or industry-specific job boards and maintaining a
competitive exposure of availabilities has given rise to the development of a
dedicated Applicant Tracking System, or 'ATS', module.

The training module provides a system for organizations to administer and track

employee training and development efforts. The system, normally called a Learning
Management System if a standalone product, allows HR to track education,
qualifications and skills of the employees, as well as outlining what training courses,
books, CDs, web based learning or materials are available to develop which skills.
Courses can then be offered in date specific sessions, with delegates and training
resources being mapped and managed within the same system.
Sophisticated LMS allow managers to approve training, budgets and calendars
alongside performance management and appraisal metrics.

The Employee Self-Service module allows employees to query HR related data and

perform some HR transactions over the system. Employees may query their attendance
record from the system without asking the information from HR personnel. The module
also lets supervisors approve O.T. requests from their subordinates through the system
without overloading the task on HR department.

Many organizations have gone beyond the traditional functions and developed human
resource management information systems, which support recruitment, selection, hiring,
job placement, performance appraisals, employee benefit analysis, health, safety and
security, while others integrate an outsourced Applicant Tracking System that
encompasses a subset of the above.

5.3 DATAFLOW DIAGRAMS

Data flow diagram is a pictorial representation of the system in which flow of data from
one process to another process is described. A Data Flow is composed of:

1. Data movement shown by arrows.

2. Transformation or process of data shown by named circle or rounded rectangle.
3. Sources and destination of data represented by named rectangle.
4. Static storage or data at rest denoted by an open rectangle that is named.

Level-0 DIAGRAM

It’s a diagram, which shows whole system at once. The sources in level-0 diagram
for this system are admin and user who are linked to the Project Module. The level-
0 Diagram is shown in Fig (0):

Fig(0)
LEVEL-1 DIAGRAM:

User login process is the Level-1 DFD shown in Fig (1). In this level, administrator
or the user has to give out the login details i.e. Employee id and password and then
only he can be logged on. The id and password given are checked from the data
stored in the database. The table that contains the login data is referred for
checking the details if the admin id and password given are correct then he can be
logged on to the site. Depending on the type of user i.e. either admin or a normal
user, he is provided with various privilege to work on the HRMS application.

LEVEL -2 DIAGRAMS:

The different processes done by user is shown in Level-2 DFD as shown in Fig(2).

Fig (2)
5.4. DATA DICTIONARY

The most important aspect of the system is data design. The data must be organized
according to the system requirements. The database approach is used to store and
organize the data in developing the system. The database is an integrated collection of
data stored in different types of tables. My SQL was used as database in this project.

Some general objectives in establishing a database are as follows:

● Integrating all data

● Incorporate updations easily
● Provide data security from unauthorized users
