What are the current situation and problems of engineering cost management information system?

The project cost management information system refers to a computer system that can collect, process, sort out, calculate, analyze, predict, assist decision-making, transmit, store, maintain and use the project cost system. It includes not only various daily processing systems that replace manual tedious work, but also decision support systems that provide effective information for managers and assist leaders. In other words, it uses the method of systematic thinking, based on computer and communication technology, and comprehensively utilizes all kinds of data, information, knowledge and wisdom to assist people to provide services for project cost management decisions. Therefore, the construction of project cost management information system, as a systematic project, covers a wide range of contents and has been highly valued by people inside and outside the industry. In recent years. Some provincial and municipal cost management departments or commercial companies have established departmental or local engineering cost management information websites, but they have not established system-wide information networking. At present, most so-called engineering cost management information systems provide single or multiple information services, such as estimation, budgetary estimate, pre-calculation or price information and policy documents. The function is single and scattered, and there are many independent processing systems, which cannot exchange data with each other. There is no data exchange interface and * * * shared database, and the internal database is not standardized. More importantly, there is no standardized information management, which makes the construction of engineering cost management information system unable to keep up with the demand of the construction market. Specifically, there are the following problems:

1. On the cognitive level, quite a few leaders and people in the industry have different understandings of establishing a nationwide project cost management information system and have not paid enough attention to it. Lack of complete understanding of the scientific nature and importance of management information system. The overall macro-planning organization is unfavorable and not unified, the leadership arrangement is weak, the enthusiasm of various departments, provinces and cities is not enough, and the market demand is not very urgent. This is the main reason for the slow progress in the construction of the national engineering cost management information system.

2. From the current application situation, due to the lack of strong national policy payment and mechanism guarantee, especially the lack of scientific development policy support and capital investment, there is no unified national standard for the construction of engineering cost management information system, which greatly reduces its authority. The collected and accumulated department or local project cost information, including project classification, material classification, material code, index and price, shall be divided according to the department or local habits. It is only used in departments or places, lacking a unified national standard basis, and its authority in a wider range is greatly reduced.

3. From the perspective of development technology, the existing project cost management information system is seriously developed repeatedly, with low level and low level. At present, the project cost management information website has been built. Generally, only the local project cost quota, index and index are provided. There are also policies and regulations, price adjustment documents, material prices and other information. The inherited and comprehensive data needed by employees cannot be extracted from many scattered systems, let alone enjoyed by information, and some of them are limited to the use of data on web pages, which is not organically combined with the construction of intelligent databases. Web page maintenance and update are slow, information effectiveness is not strong, and service space is very limited. Some software development lacks unified planning and management. Mainly as follows; (1) repeated software development, resulting in more software products and uneven grades; (2) The software has a single function, which can be used for both investment estimation and preliminary design estimation. At present, budget quota software is the most developed and applied, which can only be used to calculate engineering quantity, set quota, pre-calculate and quickly bid quotation, and cannot cover and serve the whole process and all-round decision-making of project cost management, so the overall integration needs to be deepened; (3) The interface performance is poor, and it is difficult to exchange data between commodity software; ④ There are not many intelligent programs, so it is impossible to analyze, judge and scientifically predict the project cost information, provide accurate basis for decision-making and realize the dynamic management of cost.

4. According to the current situation of employees, the development of engineering cost management information system needs a group of talents who know both computer application and management and professional knowledge of engineering cost. For a long time, due to insufficient attention to the education and training of engineering cost management talents (now the situation has been greatly improved, many colleges and universities have opened engineering cost management and related majors one after another, but rarely offered courses combining computer, network management and cost engineering management), resulting in the overall quality of personnel in this industry is not high and the knowledge structure is unreasonable. Therefore, there is a lack of strong development team, and the combination of project cost management and software development is not enough. This makes the development of project cost management information system slow.
