Abstract:

The system has been implemented in an engincer-contractor company which assigns project responsibilities to individual managers. The interacting components of the system are an informational service and an instrument for the processing of company budgets. Main objectives of the informational service are: - to permit the project manager to suitably control job progress through continuous cost and income accounting: - facilitate revising and updating project budgets: - to improve management of available resources on basis of work loads. Objectivcs of the instrument for budget processing are the probiding of balanccs and estimates of financial rcsults and above all for conducting rapid tests of the financial results which might be had under hypothetical alternate methods of performing the work. Interrogating and updating are achieved through use of an interactive computer terminal which considerably increases efficiency of the system.
