Informational and computer technologies use in certain enterprise management
process includes defining quantity, sequence and character of management process
operations and also selecting corresponding ways, methods and technical means which
eventually favours enterprise’s activity efficiency.
Modern informational and computer technologies of manufacturing enterprise
management provide for managing supplies, production, sales, personnel, financial
flows, automation of all accounting and maintaining tax, managerial and financial
records. In fulfilling definite management tasks informational system ensures well-
timed access to informational resources, efficient coordination of internal activity and
quick distribution of management decisions, set tasks implementation control, use of
previous data stored in data bases, making changes in data bases according to
manufacturing process research results, rapid current and previous data processing,
possibility of multi-version planned targets forecast, management quality and
efficiency raise.
However many manufacturing enterprises show low informational systems
implementation rate that is explained by many reasons. For example, nowadays there
is a problem of objective information absence as to specific computer technologies
because developers describe only advantages of their software, saying nothing about
problems in its functioning. Conventional criteria of computer informational
technologies comparing are their functional capabilities scope, rapid setting according
to enterprise functioning conditions, and necessity of additional investments, technical
support and software costs. Though in the process of computer technologies
implementation there arise many questions not covered by conventional efficiency
criteria.
While creating enterprise management system based on modern informational
systems characterized in table 1 it must be taken into consideration that such
reorganization demands definite – sometimes substantial – changes in management
processes in general. That is why this system implementation needs system concept
including variety of work planning and their implementation control, but in the result
enterprise gets certain advantages (Table 1).
Nowadays implementation of informational and communicative technologies is
an important function of informational system. Communication provides for
information exchange between structural units and single employees. Informational
and communicative technology may be defined as purposeful aggregate of methods,
processes, communications, networks and hard/software means united into clearly
defined technological sequence providing for gathering, storing, processing and
transferring information aimed at enterprise efficiency raise. An important peculiarity
of communication is stability, reliability sufficient for functioning, possibility of
improvement and development, and subordination to management system needs.
