Quotations are important in the orders'acquisition process, and the capability to win orders depends on the accuracy and rapidity of quotations. In order to provide competitive quotations quickly and enhance the operational capacity to response the enterprise market, it is necessary for mould companies to apply the Management Information System.According to the general operational flow and existing enterprise organization management, the business management and operating flows are reconstructed after investigation in enterprises. The characteristics and the price composition are studied, and the quotation methods which are suitable for mould base manufacture and the product data management based on quotation operation are presented. Through product data management, enterprise internal departments are linked, and enterprise information and resources are shared. The efficiency of product development and manufacturing is improved. In practical terms, product information oriented Management Information System is designed overall, and the database system is built. According to requirements, based on B/S three-tier framework, the system was developed by using MVC architecture and J2EE platform. Therefore, the system can be expanded and maintained easily.Based on the methods mentioned above, the product quotation information is shared effectively and the data is transmitted rapidly, and it makes the management more standardized. As the result of the personality development for the specific sectors, the risk is avoided, and the cost is reduced and the implementation cycle is shortened.
