ANALYSIS OF COSTS AND BENEFITS SYSTEM:Cost benefit analysis has been undertaken to assess the
benefits of the system to the department. The calculation is for a period of 5 years after the system
use. Details of the analysis of costs and benefits is a description and details as specified top:
RETURN OF INVESTMENT:

Analysis Schedule, clearly proving that the use of Automated Teller Machines(ATM) with
biometric fingerprint scanners system has four (4) types of saving (saving) if the system is
implemented. Total savings and nett overall benefit for a period of 5 years was RM2, 046,091.00
[nett benefit] and the Return Of Investment [ROI] his hand is 236% positive and profitable
department in the long term.

From the analysis of the above table, the number of total costs [total cost] to implement Automated
Teller Machines(ATM) with biometric fingerprint scanners project was RM865, 277.00 for a
period of 5 years, while the profit if using a biometric system compared to using a manual system is
RM2, 046,091.00 [value obtained by Total saving of RM2, 911,368.00 less the total cost of RM865,
277.00], if the department first had to remove the high cost.

While the break event analysis has demonstrated positive gains in the first year [1] of RM306,
600.00, the second [2] RM678, 780.00, the third year [3] RM1, 090,502.00, the fourth [4] RM1,
545,079.00 and in the year fifth [5] RM2, 046,091.00. This shows that by using a Automated Teller
Machines(ATM) with biometric fingerprint scanners system the department has obtained the
positive gains from the first year and subsequent years. How to get the break event analysis are: the
Benefit Nett first year [1] plus [+] with the Break Event Analysis of 0 or the second year Nett Benefit
[2] plus [+] with the first year Break Event Analysis [1] .

Net Interest Rate (Nett Benefit) for this project for a period of five (5) years is RM2, 046,091.00. Nett
present value (NPV) of the project for a period of five (5) years assuming a discount rate of 3% per
year, then the net new cash flow was RM1, 764,976.00. The above analysis shows that the new NPV
is positive, then the project is viable and profitable financial.
The cost savings are meant justified as follows:

a) First, emoluments (salaries and allowances) that are needed to manage the records
manually, the department can save RM60, 000.00 per annum as described in the Schedule
analyst if the officer is no longer doing the job manually manage attendance because the
task was carried out by the system biometrics. This means that within 5 years, a total of
RM351, 996.00 can be saved by taking into account the annual salary increase of 8 per cent,
in the event of a Automated Teller Machines(ATM) with biometric fingerprint
scanners system.
b) Second, other cost saving is used to manually record the estimated RM5, 000.00 per year
and amounted to RM25, 000.00 within 5 years can also be saved and give profit to the
department.
c) Third , the cost in terms of payment of overtime allowances for all staff from each unit also
can be saved by 30 % , because after using biometric system for all staff will no longer be
able to deceive the department because overtime is only paid by clocking / hour as recorded
by the only biometric system that can be printed from the computer that recorded the
presence of staff . Thus if before using the system menual total overtime is AU RM1 ,
971,178.00 per annum , as staff can manipulate the system manually. But with the
implementation of biometric systems is they will no longer be able to manipulate the
biometric system, because all appearances are accurately recorded according to the time /
hours come to work and back . Department estimated cost saving of 50 % of the overtime ,
the department may menjimatan of RM985 , 589.00 [RM1 , 971,178.00 divided 2 ] in the last
5 years. Thus the system will be beneficial to the department for all staff attendance records
are accurately recorded and there is no more cases of cheating the department.
d) Fourth, the department can save travel claims [mileage] and the staff, as well as other costs
such as vehicle travel allowance, cost of time spent not on official duty and other estimated
expenses of RM563, 194.00 in 5 year. If using biometric systems claim travel costs could be
reduced to 50% or a total of RM281, 597.00, by kerena staff no longer have to manually
make the computation, went to the headquarters just to manage claims only. Where all
records can be obtained accurately and faster than a computer.
