As the core technology of the third industrial revolution, the birth and development of information technology has brought great influence to all levels of human society. Mankind has entered the information age, and all walks of life must be closely integrated with information technology to achieve development and rebirth, and engineering operation is no exception. Engineering operation, also known as engineering construction, covers construction technology, construction technology, construction personnel management, construction cost, engineering quality and many other aspects, which can not be ignored in modern engineering operation. According to different types of engineering, such as construction engineering and water conservancy engineering, the operation process is different, but no matter what kind of engineering operation, the traditional operation management is mostly manual processing, which has great human risks.
1 information system overview
1. 1 the connotation of information system
Information system is the product of the development of information technology to a specific stage, and it is an important means of information management in all walks of life, which has a particularly prominent position in enterprise information office. At present, although the application of information system is in full swing, the exact connotation of information system is still inconclusive. Generally speaking, information system refers to a man-machine integrated system consisting of computer hardware, network and communication equipment, computer software, information resources, information users and rules and regulations for the purpose of processing information flow. Information system includes four processes: infrastructure layer, resource management layer, business logic layer and application presentation layer, which can collect, transmit, store, process, maintain and use information.
1.2 characteristics of information system
As a product of the information age, information system has the following characteristics: firstly, information system is not an isolated and self-sufficient system, it is always attached to a larger information system and exists as a key subsystem with a special position in this large system; Secondly, whether the information system plays a direct role in management is indirectly manifested through the improvement of management decision-making level.
1.3 development prospect of information system
As a management system based on information technology and taking information collection, analysis, management and application as the model, information system has a very good development prospect. On the one hand, the rapid update of information technology, such as the emergence of big data and cloud computing technology, provides good technical support for the development of these information systems. On the other hand, information technology has great application value. Whether for enterprises or other organizations, the huge user group also makes the development prospect of information systems broad.
2 Value analysis of information system in modern engineering operation
2. 1 workflow optimization
With the rapid development of modern society, different forms of engineering construction have sprung up all over the world, such as water conservancy bridge engineering, urban road engineering, metallurgical engineering, electronic communication heroes and so on. Since the reform and opening up, China's social economy has made great progress, and engineering construction has naturally increased day by day, becoming the country with the most projects under construction at the same time in the world. Different engineering projects have different operation processes, involving many construction technical projects, many of which are typical miscellaneous and redundant processes. Repeated construction will not only lead to unreasonable consumption of construction resources, but also delay the construction period and have a huge negative impact. However, in the traditional era of human resource management, it is difficult to effectively identify which process belongs to redundant process, thus eliminating redundant processes. The arrival of the information age, especially the application of information system in engineering operation, provides great technical support for the classification and appraisal of building technology. The information system has an efficient calculation function, which can select the content of repeated construction in a short time and optimize the operation process, which is also the premise of improving the operation efficiency.
2.2 Improve the operational level
In modern engineering operation, no matter what type of engineering, engineering quality is the most important pursuit, and ensuring engineering quality is the only way to ensure engineering efficiency. Operation level, also known as standardization degree, is the core factor affecting the quality of the project. The higher the degree of standardization, the lower the probability of possible problems in the operation of the project and the higher the overall quality of the corresponding project. Traditional engineering construction, mainly manual operation, is not intelligent. Most of the operations are completed by manual or manually controlled machinery, and there are also some shortcomings in mechanized operations, which are prone to operational failures caused by human factors, affecting the overall level of construction operations and even bringing safety risks to construction personnel. The application of information system in modern engineering construction has changed this phenomenon well. The information system has the characteristics of intelligence, which can not only scientifically and reasonably standardize the key points in construction links, but also provide standardized templates for different construction links and construction technologies, so as to comprehensively improve the level of construction work and further improve the quality of engineering construction.
2.3 reduce the cost of activities
Project management is an important link in project operation. Good project management is the fundamental guarantee to ensure the effective and orderly operation of the project, and cost control is the core content of project management. Cost control requires the contractor to reduce the total cost of the project as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the construction period and project quality. It is very difficult to control the reduction and compression of activity cost and the design of multi-level content. Taking the construction project as an example, the cost expenditure covers many links such as project establishment, design, construction and completion, and the expenditure of each link will affect the overall cost control effect. The existing financial management system is difficult to effectively reduce the cost of activities. The application of information system can save construction funds from the following two points: first, the traditional project financial management needs a separate department and a complex management team, and the application of information system can streamline the number of people in the finance department and control the expenditure of personnel; Secondly, the information system ensures the standardization of construction work, improves the construction quality, reduces the probability of possible problems in construction, and can reduce the costs brought by maintenance and other links.
3 application principles of information system in modern engineering operations
The application of information system in modern engineering operation is the general trend, which is not only the objective need to improve the standardization of modern engineering operation, but also the inevitable requirement to strengthen the informationization level of operation in the information age. Of course, the application of information system in modern engineering operation is not random, and it must rely on corresponding principles to achieve the expected goals, including the following three points:
3. 1 comprehensive principle
Information technology has been born for more than half a century, and it has profoundly affected all aspects of human society since its birth, and engineering work is no exception. Of course, in the early stage of the integration of information technology and engineering work, most of the construction parties used simple information technology to serve management practice, and the application of information technology has the characteristics of face and stage. At present, the development of information technology is highly mature, and the information system based on information technology has become an indispensable part of modern enterprise office. Therefore, when using information technology in construction, we should gradually change the traditional concept and mode of utilization, rather than short-term utilization. We should start from the long-term needs of engineering operation and the strategic development needs of construction enterprises, pay attention to the comprehensive and long-term application of information systems, and include all information systems needed in construction links to build a long-term mechanism for information system utilization.
3.2 the principle of gradual progress
From the current development trend of information technology and the actual demand of project construction, it can be clearly seen that the application of information system in construction is the general trend. However, how to apply information system in engineering work is indeed a very noteworthy problem. In the process of construction, some construction parties pointed out that all the operation links were incorporated into the information system in great detail, trying to build an all-encompassing and omnipotent information system, which not only cost a lot in the early stage, but also may not get the due effect, because there are too many unknown factors in the construction work, so it is necessary to proceed from the actual needs and build it step by step to ensure the stability of the work. Therefore, in the application of modern engineering operation information system, the principle of gradual progress is also a very important principle. On the basis of highlighting the key points, the owner should gradually expand the application fields and application depth of the information system, such as from the application of key technologies to the application of general technologies at the construction level.
3.3 the principle of economy
In modern engineering operations, cost management is a very important content. All expenditures related to engineering operation must be included in cost management, and information system construction is no exception. The application of information system, from the early data investigation to the later system installation and maintenance, needs to spend a lot of money. For large-scale engineering operations, the proportion of information system expenditure may not be high, but for some small and medium-sized work projects, the expenditure of information system is likely to affect the overall budget. In this regard, the developer needs to fully consider the economic principles of information systems. First of all, not all engineering projects need to use information systems. For some simple small projects, they can be completed under the existing management mode, and there is no need to invest in the construction of information systems. Secondly, even if the information system is needed in the work, the construction party should proceed from the actual needs of the work and choose the most reasonable information system instead of blindly launching it.
4 strategies to improve the role of information system in modern engineering operation
Information system has a lot of value for modern engineering operation, which plays a very good role in improving the informatization level of engineering operation and controlling the overall cost of engineering operation. Of course, influenced by various subjective and objective factors, there are still many problems in the application of information system in modern engineering construction. These problems are both conscious and operational. Being close to the essence of the problem and taking corresponding measures are the fundamental guarantee to enhance the application value and effect of information systems.
4. 1 change management concept and attach importance to information system.
The arrival of the information age is both an opportunity and a challenge for engineering operation. On the one hand, it provides many new technical means for engineering operation, such as intelligent operation technology and networked data sharing technology, which is helpful to optimize the engineering operation process and is the premise and effective guarantee for improving the construction efficiency of engineering operation. On the other hand, it also forces the engineering operation to carry out necessary reforms and change the previous professional mode and management mode. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to adjust the existing operating concept and establish the operating concept in the information age. At present, for most engineering projects, the application of information technology has become an important means and has been applied to some construction operations. However, many engineering projects still regard information technology as a means and tactical content, and it has been applied in some stages and fields, which fails to give full play to the value of information technology application. Therefore, the project party should set out from a strategic height and build the corresponding information system based on information technology. Information system covers all levels of project construction, and is a platform for project information management and construction, so as to improve the information level of project construction.
4.2 Relying on engineering requirements, develop information systems.
With the continuous development and improvement of information technology, information systems are becoming more and more mature, especially office information systems, and various types of information systems emerge one after another, both products of foreign companies and products of domestic companies. Foreign companies have been engaged in the research and development of information systems for a long time and have rich technical experience. The possibility of information system failure in application is low, but the price is usually expensive, and there are some problems in after-sales service. Domestic information systems are designed with domestic enterprises as reference objects, with relatively low prices but high failure rates. In the construction of information system, the project should do a good job in selection, comprehensively inspect all kinds of popular system software in the market, closely follow the actual needs of the project and the acceptable ability of project expenditure, and choose the most suitable system software. In software selection, we should fully consider the supplier's follow-up service ability. Project construction varies greatly, especially for large-scale projects, such as water conservancy projects and road construction.
4.3 Closely follow the engineering practice and highlight key working procedures.
The application of information system in modern engineering is all-round application, and information system is needed in every process and every link. Of course, different processes and links have different requirements for information systems. Some links have higher requirements, while others have lower requirements. It is an objective need to enhance the use value of information system to closely follow the actual needs of engineering construction and highlight the information needs of key processes. In this regard, in the construction of information system, the project team should pay attention to the construction of key processes. Although different projects have different operational priorities, financial management, raw material procurement, construction technology and so on. They are all key contents, and naturally they should also be the places that information construction needs to focus on. Of course, this does not mean that we should only focus on the key areas of information system construction. In fact, the principle of gradual progress mentioned above also shows that information system construction is a long-term work for engineering operation. According to the development needs of engineering operation, it is the best choice to continuously expand and enrich the functions of the information system.
4.4 Optimize the information system based on the project requirements.
Engineering projects have certain periodicity, and there are great differences in construction and management among different engineering projects. Project type, project scale and construction environment may have a great influence on the construction and management of engineering projects, which makes it difficult for different engineering projects to adopt the same information system in operation. At this time, it is particularly necessary to keep up with the actual needs of the project operation and constantly adjust, enrich and optimize the content of the information system. Modern engineering construction information system must be an open information system. The so-called open information system can adjust and optimize some contents of the information system according to the actual needs of engineering construction. For example, some projects have higher requirements on the design stage, so the information system must be paid more attention to, while some projects have special requirements on completion, so it is necessary to optimize the information system from the perspective of completion acceptance. Only in this way can the efficiency of information system be improved.
5 conclusion
The application of information system in engineering operation is not only the inevitable requirement of the information age, but also the need to improve the efficiency and quality of engineering operation. Therefore, in modern engineering construction, we should understand the importance of information system from a strategic perspective and continuously deepen the role and value of information system. In this regard, the project team should constantly change their ideas in the specific construction process and improve the efficiency of the information system from the perspectives of system construction, system enrichment and system perfection.
