This thesis addresses IBM's Business Systems Planning
(BSP) methodology to design a computer-based information
system for the Chinese Marine Corps Field Maneuver
Controlling And Evaluation Operation (FIOP)
.
It initially describes the current manual system fay
identifying each organizational group and the functions each
perform. BSP is then defined including its background,
underlying concepts and potential benefits. Finally, the 3SP
methodology is applied to FIOP resulting in a list of data
classes, a process/data class matrix and an information flow
diagram.
The conclusion is that a computer-based system for FIOP
is both feasible and worthwhile. The recommendations are
that a steering committee of major FIOP users be formed to
devise obtainable and measurable objectives; that a BSP
expert be hired to act as a consultant/coordinator for this
project and finally, that the implementation plan be
reviewed annually to ensure its continued cost
effectiveness.
