New Normal Waste Bank Information System in Medan City Using the Waterfall Method

Abstract

Waste banks are one solution for community-based waste management, where collected waste can be recycled and has economic value. However, manual waste bank management often faces challenges such as inefficient transaction recording, unintegrated data, and difficulties in managing customer data. Therefore, an information system is needed to address these issues.

This study aims to design and develop a Waste Bank Information System using the Waterfall Method. The Waterfall Method was chosen because of its systematic and structured approach, making it suitable for software development with clear requirements from the outset. The outcome of this research is an information system that simplifies the process of managing waste bank data, including customer registration, transaction recording, and automated and structured report generation. This system also enhances the operational efficiency of waste banks by accelerating recording processes and reducing the potential for errors.
