Abstract
The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) is a state-owned cooperation which operates under the
Ministry of Energy and petroleum (MoEP). The sole purpose of the companies existence is to
facilitate safe storage of petroleum products and transport the petroleum products through a
pipeline running from Mombasa to different depot stations within the country. The Kenya
Pipeline Company, Nakuru depot, in the Quality Control department they carry out their daily
operations manually which includes conversion of petroleum products and transfer the converted
data into a book, The Ground-Fuel Recertification which is later manually typed into a
preexisting word document which serves as the daily report form. This is extremely monotonous
which can reduce staff morale especially when it is carried out every day. The proposed solution
is to develop a web-based application that will automatically convert data for the different
products being fed into the system and generate printable reports which can be used by
management for further analysis. The development methodology to be used is prototyping this is
because it revolves more around the users of the system which makes it easier to attain the user
requirements
