The Design For XinMin Workshop Cost Management Information System

This article is resolving the problem of cost management in Xinmin Workshop. Through inspecting on cost management in the enterprise, we found the problems are: Storage management is jumbled, cost calculation is not nicety and late, so that decision-making of cost was probably incorrect. According to the request of strengthening the computerized management of cost management of Xinmin Workshop, and combining the development actuality of MIS and the practical cost management situation of the workshop, this paper puts up the design and development of cost MIS. The design of the system is based on the contents and characteristics of cost management work and pays much attention to interaction, simplicity and principle of visualization. The system can provide exact and comprehensive data and analytic result for cost management and improve the work efficiency, quality and validity, reliability, real time of decision.In the paper, technological bases of MIS are studied and analyzed. This paper makes detail system analysis and system design by use of structured analysis method. Analyzing contents include organization structure, managing operation flow, requirement of users, etc. Based on the analysis result, the design of the conceptual structure and logical structure of the system's database are put forward. The software platform of the system is ASE8.0, which is a RDBMS based on Windows. The program design adopts PowerBuilder9.0, which is visual and object-oriented. The cost management information system possesses advantages such as simple operation, better practicability and friendly interface.
