Our final project focuses on developing a digital budget management system for the “Afikim ba-Negev” School in Mitzpe Ramon. Current budgeting relies on manual Excel sheets, leading to inefficiencies, errors and lack of transparency. We built a user-friendly web-based system using WordPress, with custom code, offering real-time tracking, alerts and reporting. Compared to Excel, our system improves accuracy, automates workflows and provides easier access for decision makers. As part of the development process, we conducted a wide system analysis, gathering user requirements, wireframes and workflow diagrams. Our solution is tailored to the school’s needs and limitations, and lays the foundation for future features, such as financial forecasting and long-term planning, while enhancing transparency, efficiency and informed decision-making.

Ensuring workplace safety while maintaining efficient production is a complex challenge in industrial environments. This study examines the impact of safety policy enforcement on production efficiency, focusing on perception gaps between management and employees. Our task is to identify and address differences in the understanding and implementation of safety policies across organizational levels. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines qualitative interviews with key safety personnel and employee surveys. Insights gained will help develop strategies for improved safety enforcement, enhanced employee engagement and reduced accident-related costs, while optimizing production. Our findings will highlight actionable recommendations for bridging perception gaps and strengthening safety culture within industrial organizations.
