管理信息系统的发展与展望

近年来，随着信息技术的飞速发展和管理的不断创新，管理信息系统的概念正在突破原有的界限．向着系统发展的网络化、系统开发方法的理性统一化以及系统运行的智能化的方向发展。本就此进行讨论，并提出一些看法。     

A Systems Model of Underwater Inspection Operations

The paper reports on the development of a systems model of the sub-sea inspection of an offshore structure in the North Sea. Diving practices, weather conditions, topside management procedures and inspection techniques are incorporated into the model, along with support-vessel capabilities. The model provides a research tool capable of indicating and quantifying ways of increasing the efficiency of inspection diving. Characteristic distributions of many of the variables involved are presented, along with an indication of the consequences of changes in decision and operational parameters. The study indicates that a significant increase in sub-sea inspection efficiency will come from synchronization of topside and sub-sea activities.
