Abstract
This study aims to develop a web-based information system to improve the management of inventory and equipment borrowing at the Network Laboratory of Universitas Royal Asahan. The system is designed to replace manual procedures that are prone to data errors, duplication, and time inefficiency. The system development adopts the Waterfall methodology, which includes requirement analysis, UML-based system design (Use Case, Class, Activity, and Sequence Diagrams), implementation using PHP, MySQL, and the CodeIgniter framework, as well as functional testing through the black-box method. The results show that the system provides core features such as inventory management, borrowing transactions, and automated reporting. System testing indicates improved data accuracy, a 70% increase in search efficiency, and enhanced transparency in laboratory asset management. Overall, the system enables a more organized, accountable administrative process and supports the campus digitalization program.
