Implementation plan of a management information system for the Wang Noi Power Plant

Abstract

This thesis presents the development of an implementation plan of a management information system, MIS, at the Wang Noi Power Plant. The development follows the Business Systems Planning, BSP, methodology developed by IBM. It begins with the identification of the MIS objective and strategies. Next, the system requirements are analyzed with the Wetherbe and Davis methodology. This results in the definitions and evaluation of information requirements for all organizational subsystems. Then, the system design is considered, including the applications, software selection, hardware and communication network designs. Finally, the implementation plan is developed. It includes the implementation strategies, the master plan and the details of the first twelve-month plan. The organization for the implementation is proposed, costs and benefits of the system and mechanism for successful implementation are also identified.
