Enterprise Information Planning Tools
I. Purposes of Enterprise Information Planning
On the basis of formal analysis of enterprise information needs,
establish fundamental standards of enterprise information resources
management, manage information system function model, data model
and systematic structure model to guide the development of
integrated network management information system.
II. Significances of Enterprise Information Planning
1. Comprehensively conduct needs analysis for formal enterprise
informatization, standardizedly express information demands of
operational level, management level and decision-making level and
prepare for development and utilization of information resources in
a planned and order way;
2. Through system data model, clarify inconsistencies in the
existing database resources and complexity of interface, establish
standardized data structure adaptable to new information needs and
lay a solid foundation to transform and establish high-end data
environment for solving the information isolated island”;
3. Optimize management business processes during the system
modeling process to support management innovation through
informatization and to further improve management efficiency and
quality;
4. By adopting DALU-EIA software system, establish computerized
original database of enterprise information resources to guide the
comprehensive information system establishment.
III. Software Functions and Contents
1. Functional Domain and Contact Unit Definitions
According to the principle that enterprise informatization planning
must face all or most major functional domain in Information
Engineering Methodology (IEM), the functional domain of enterprise
informatization planning shall focus on major system of enterprise
operation instead of the reproduction of current institutional
sectors.
The specific division and definition of various functional domain
shall be subject to necessary discussions and competent leaders’
affirmation and specific governing relationships between various
functional domain and current sectors shall be cleared.
2. Establishment of Business Management Model
Define and describe various functional domains; analyze and decide
the business processes contained in functional domains, identify
and set out business activities contained in the business
processes, forming the business model in enterprise management.
3. Data Analysis of Various Functional Domains
Draw first or second grade data flow diagram with respect each
functional domain to figure out the data flow between different
functions, internal area of functional domains and functional
domain and contact unit; analyze and standardize user views
(documents, reporting statements and screen forms etc.); conduct
quantitative analysis with respect of input, storage and output
data flow in functional domains
4. Establishment of Primary Standards for Enterprise Information
Resource Management
Include data elements standard, information classification and
coding standard (A class encoding object, B class encoding object,
C class encoding objects), user view standard, conceptual database
standard and logical database standard.
5. Establishment of Functional Model of Enterprise Management
Information System
Conduct system function modeling based on needs analysis and
optimization of business processes (BPR). The system functional
modeling consists of logical subsystems, functional modules,
program modules, becoming a standardized expression for system
function structure.
6. Establishment of Data Model of Enterprise Management Information
System
The system data modeling consists of subsystem data modeling and
universal data modeling. The data modeling entity is a BaseTable”,
which is a data structure composed of data elements and in line
with Three Paradigms” (3-NF), regarding as a base for system
integration and information sharing.
7. Establishment of Structure Molding of Enterprise Management
Information System
The system structure modeling (CU matrix)functional is a
combination of functional modeling and data modeling, playing an
important role in both module development order control and shared
building issue” resolution.
IV. Implementation Mode
1. Mode A: Technical Support Service
Party A (the enterprise implementing enterprise information
planning, same as below) introduces the Enterprise Information
Planning Technology (training materials and software tools) from
Party B (Jinan Dalu Mechanism & Electron Co., Ltd.). Party A
shall independently carry out the enterprise information planning;
Party B is responsible for software
