The development cycle of MIS is long and the cost is high, which involves the change of management mode. Only the main leaders personally grasp it can it be successful. The development of management information system is
A huge system engineering involves all aspects of the organization's daily management, and leaders need to come forward to organize their strength and coordinate the relations in all aspects. Without the support of leaders, the development of MIS system will face great obstacles, and the development of the system will be difficult to succeed. The former Soviet Union put forward the principle of "number one leader". The practice of the United States and other countries and China also proves that an important reason for the failure of system development is that leaders are not participants, but bystanders.
Second, the support of business management departments.
To develop MIS well, the support of various business management departments is very important. Business departments at all levels should send managers who are most familiar with their business processes and information needs to participate in the development of management information systems so that they can put forward their own views on the composition and functions of management information systems. It lays a foundation for developing a management information system that meets the requirements of department management.
Third, the standardization of basic management.
Without good basic management, MIS is impossible to succeed. The development of enterprise MIS is "three points technology, seven points management and twelve points data". Computer management information system can only be effectively developed on the basis of reasonable management system, perfect rules and regulations, standardized report system, scientific management method and reliable and complete data. In order to meet the requirements of MIS development, we must improve the basic work of management, realize the standardization of basic management, the proceduralization of management business, the scientification of index quota, the unification of report documents and the standardization of code.
Fourth, establish a development and application team.
In the process of MIS development, it is necessary to establish a development team composed of computer technicians and business managers who know both computers and management. Only the close cooperation between computer technicians and business managers can develop a good management information system. If there is no business manager to participate in the development of MIS, even if the design and coding work is excellent, it is only a system that replaces manual labor and completes part of manual labor at most. The team includes:
System analyst: responsible for system analysis.
System designer: responsible for system design.
Programmer: Responsible for application design.
Operators: including hardware operators and data entry personnel.
System maintenance personnel: responsible for the maintenance of system hardware and software.
Information controller: responsible for receiving, sending and checking information.
Management personnel: organizational leaders responsible for system development, operation and maintenance.
System analyst plays an important role in the development of management information system. Responsible for the development of the whole system, determine the work objectives, and determine the specific plan to achieve the objectives. The knowledge level and ability of system analysts determine the quality of MIS, and system analysts must have professional skills and organizational management capabilities. The lack of qualified system analysts is one of the important reasons that restrict the development of management information system.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) establishes a special organization.
Establishing the organization of MIS development, that is, establishing the system development leading group (information committee) headed by enterprise leaders, is the highest decision-making body of system development. The head of the leading group is the principal person in charge of the enterprise, and its members include the heads of relevant departments, experienced management experts and system analysts. The development leading group is not responsible for the specific technical work of development, and its main responsibilities include: proposing and determining the objectives, planning and overall strategy of the new system; Supervise and control the objectives, budget, progress and work quality of development projects; To examine and approve the work reports of each stage of system development; Coordinate all work related to system development; Report the system development progress to the superior organization; Organize system acceptance; Responsible for the appointment of key members and stipulate the responsibilities of each member.
The system development team under the system development leading group is responsible for the specific development technology work. The system development team is headed by the system analyst, whose task is to carry out specific work according to the system objectives and the guidance of the system development leading group. These tasks mainly include: the selection of system development methods; Design and implementation of various surveys; Analysis of survey results; Write a feasibility report; Logical design of the system; Physical design of the system; Specific programming and implementation of the system; Formulate the handover plan of the new and old systems; Monitor the operation of the new system; Assist the organization to carry out new organizational changes and formulate new management rules and regulations.
Organization is the key to develop management information system. The establishment of specialized institutions to meet the needs of MIS development is the guarantee for the success of MIS development.
Six, have a certain economic ability.
MIS development should have a certain material basis. MIS development is a systematic project with large investment and high risk. In the process of MIS development, enterprises need to buy machinery and equipment, purchase software, consume all kinds of materials, and generate labor costs, training costs and other expenses in the development process. These are great burdens for enterprises. In order to ensure the smooth development of MIS, there should be an overall plan and feasibility demonstration before development, a correct budget for the required funds, a fund-raising plan to ensure that the funds are in place on time, and fund management should be strengthened during development to prevent waste.
