A Management Information System for the Purchasing Activity at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Abstract

The thesis addresses the initial development stages of an automated Management Information System (MIS) for use by purchasing activity at the Naval Postgraduate School. It initially examines the policies, practices, procedures and processing techniques employed in the non-automated environment, and identifies key elements of interest which can be captured through automated techniques to improve the level of management information available. A system to capture, edit, input and store this information is discussed, and an extensive analysis of the necessary output reports is offered. The thesis concludes by sizing the physical requirements of the system and making specific recommendations regarding generic hardware requirements. (Author)
