The Design And Development Of Hotel Management Information System

With the rapid development of hotels in recent years, the competition between them is becoming more and more intense in China and the demand on hotel management is becoming higher at the same time. Information system of modern hotel management has been an inevitable choice for runners of modern hotels to enhance the competitiveness of the hotel and raise the level of hotel management. With the application of computer and Internet technology and the information system of hotel management, not only can they improve the efficiency of hotel management, but also they can reduce the operating costs and share resources.Combining the needs of hotel management business with computer technology, the author designed and developed a hotel management information system in this paper, focusing on the needs analysis, the detailed design and part of the realization of the system. The details are as follows:This paper completes the main work of needs analysis of the system. It analyzes the technical need of the system and decides to adopt the Windows platform, SQLServer database and PowerBuilder language system to realize the development of the system. It draws a conclusion from needs investigation by interview and observation, and demonstrates the demand of the system in detail through case diagram based on UML modeling tools.The paper finishes the main work of detailed design of the system. For the practical needs of hotel management, the regulate design accord with demanded process can realize the hotel management information system to ensure the robustness and flexibility of the software through the application of object-oriented analysis and design methods, UML case diagram, timing diagram, class diagram, as well as Power Designer tool.The paper accomplishes the realization part of the system, i.e., development of the technology selection as well as the user interface operation.The system has the function of dynamic data inquiry, a user-assisted, statistics and analysis to assist users. It provides a network-based, integrated platform of work for users with B/S system architecture to realize the share and exchange of information for enterprises. And it has some peculiarities such as simple operation, friendly interface, flexibility, safety and stability etc. Making full use of the function of MIS system such as supporting decision-making, the system makes the management and the front office obtain the latest business, sales status, and the demand data of the market on their own client sides at any time, which can enhance the profits of the hotel, reduce the cost, provides a wide range of hardware and software interfaces with strong scalability and maintainability.The design and realization of hotel management information system proposed in the paper has already been applied in Dongfang Hotel, and achieved a fairly good appraise.
