EA044801B1 - METHOD FOR MANAGING ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEM - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to the field of information support for enterprises and can be used to verify the reporting performance indicators of an enterprise while ensuring protection against unauthorized direct or indirect use of important information. The invention can also be used to eliminate technical errors made in the preparation and use of data that have various types of errors.

State of the art

In enterprise information systems, there is a problem of adjusting the values of indicators used by personnel and automated systems adjacent to enterprise information systems. There are also no reliable means and methods for determining the need and reliability of information that changes the composition of data in enterprise information systems.

Because indicator-related data may be collected from a variety of information sources, they may have varying levels of detail and descriptiveness. Every month, upon requests corresponding to the purpose of the information systems, dozens or more indicators that are important in planning activities and assessing the current state of the enterprise can be added to the information systems.

At the same time, in existing systems there may be system restrictions on the number of added indicators, since important new indicators require approval, and adjusting indicators often requires intervention in the process by employees who have the rights to make abnormal changes to data in databases related to enterprise information systems.

For example, in patent RU 2154298 (C1), publ. 08/10/2000, the regulations for the preparation and provision of documents are disclosed, which uses a multi-stage request structure, ensuring automation of the process of preparation, checking for correct completion and submission of reporting documents with confirmation of the authenticity and authorship of these documents. The known system does not use the database of all enterprise documents to store documents; it is not intended to verify documents in the process of their request, preparation and use by various departments. All document requests in a known system are processed according to pre-established rules.

The technical solution closest to the proposed invention is the system disclosed in US patent 6092090 (A), publ. 07/18/2000. The description of the patent reveals a system for collecting and processing information, which includes storing original documents. The system provides for the division of documents into databases in accordance with their purpose. It is possible to simply verify the electronic version of documents without taking into account information presented in other documents.

The disadvantage of the prototype of the claimed invention, as well as other solutions identified in the prior art and intended for electronic document management, is the impossibility of detecting the reasons for the formation of unreliable information and the impossibility of automated correction of erroneous data.

The proposed invention makes it possible to achieve a technical result consisting in simplifying and increasing the security of procedures for creating and editing the values of enterprise performance indicators (enterprise performance indicators), with increasing the security of not only information systems as a whole, but also individual data blocks used by enterprise information systems. In addition, the proposed invention allows the use of routine data processing operations to verify data from databases, as well as eliminate the possibility of determining important private data by indirect methods by users who do not have appropriate access rights.

The essence of the invention

To achieve the specified technical result, a method of managing an enterprise information system is proposed, which consists in the fact that in the enterprise database management system containing means for calculating dependent indicators using primary indicators stored in the enterprise database, the values of the primary indicators are collected; and calculate dependent indicators using the values of primary indicators and specified calculation parameters, while storing in the enterprise database information about user access levels to parameters and database objects;

a description of each of the calculation parameters is presented in a format suitable for storage in the enterprise database, and is stored in the enterprise database;

provide access to setting calculation parameters to users who have an access level that allows them to change the parameters of the corresponding calculation;

transfer calculation parameters specified by users for storage to the database, subject to successful testing of the possibility of using the specified calculation parameters

- 1 044801 to calculate the corresponding dependent indicator; at the same time, the user's access rights to the primary indicators and intermediate calculation results used and determined when calculating the dependent indicator are checked, and the calculation parameters are tested if the user has the specified rights.

In one of the particular implementation options, when the user changes the primary indicator, dependent indicators are calculated that depend on the indicator being changed, and the values of changes in the dependent indicators available to the user are displayed on the user's information device.

In one of the particular implementation options, when the user changes the calculation parameters, the dependent indicators that depend on the changed indicator are calculated in accordance with the calculation parameters and the values of changes in the dependent indicators available to the user are displayed on the user's information device.

In one of the particular implementation options, when changing calculation parameters that obviously do not affect the testing results, the calculation parameters are considered to have passed testing.

In one of the particular implementation options, weighting coefficients related to predetermined primary basic indicators are taken as calculation parameters that do not affect the test results.

In one of the private implementations, a list of users who have subscribed to a change in the indicator is specified, and users from the list are notified when the specified indicator changes.

In one of the particular implementation options, a range of acceptable values is specified for the initial indicator, and when testing the calculation parameters, the dependent indicator is calculated using the extreme values of the range of acceptable values of the initial indicator and the calculation parameters are considered to have failed testing if there is no influence of the value of the initial indicator on the value of the dependent indicator.

Description of Embodiments of the Invention

The following terms and abbreviations are used in the description of the invention:

DB - database;

key performance indicator - the value of a parameter of production and economic activity at an enterprise, suitable for visual representation;

frequency - the time interval for recording or updating indicators in the enterprise information system, for example, hour, day, week, month, quarter, year;

Software - software.

In fig. 1 is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of the method for implementing the present invention.

The present invention can be used in managing an enterprise information system, for example, a performance monitoring system with high reliability of the data provided. The information system can use basic indicators, each of which is set or changed by the user, in particular, with predefined rights. Dependent metrics can be calculated from baseline metrics using algorithms that can themselves be considered metrics. The weighting factor can be set by a system administrator with senior rights. After a confirmed entry or change of an indicator, the dependent indicators are recalculated. In the process of preparing an input or changing an indicator, the user has the opportunity to obtain data on the impact of the edited indicator on other indicators of his choice. Users are differentiated by access rights to indicators. Users have the opportunity to conduct research into the influence of basic indicators on dependent indicators, including without the right to change the corresponding indicators in the system. The user has the opportunity to subscribe to updates of selected indicators indicating the reasons for the change.

As shown in FIG. 1 in the enterprise database management system containing means for calculating dependent indicators using primary indicators stored in the enterprise database, in step 311 the values of the primary indicators are collected.

At step 321, the dependent indicators calculation module calculates the dependent indicators. The calculation of dependent indicators is carried out using the values of the primary indicators and the specified calculation parameters.

At step 331, the data saving module saves information about user access levels to parameters and database objects in the enterprise database.

Storing data in the database may include updating data stored in the database, such as information about user access levels to database parameters, parameters, values, etc., described within the scope of the present invention.

Database entries may contain information about baselines, as well as information about user access levels to the database or to database objects and parameters and parameters described in the present invention, in particular specified parameters. Metrics can have predefined values or can be dynamically calculated metrics.

The database is configured to store data characterizing methods, sequences of operations or orders for determining indicators, as well as the results of recognition or presentation of elements of electronic entities related to the order of determining indicators. Operations for determining indicators can be carried out by an element recognition module, which can also generate a visual representation of elementary operations and indicator values used in carrying out operations.

At step 341, the module presents descriptions of calculation parameters in a format suitable for storage in an enterprise database, presents a description of each of the calculation parameters in a format suitable for storage in an enterprise database, and stores it in the enterprise database.

At step 351, the module for providing access to setting calculation parameters to users provides access to setting calculation parameters to users who have an access level that allows them to change the parameters of the corresponding calculation.

In a particular case, when the user changes the calculation parameters, dependent indicators are calculated, depending on the indicator being changed; in accordance with the calculation parameters, the display module displays on the user's information device the values of changes in the dependent indicators available to the user.

In a particular case, when changing calculation parameters that obviously do not affect the testing results, the calculation parameters are considered to have passed testing.

In a particular case, weighting coefficients related to predetermined primary basic indicators are taken as calculation parameters that do not affect the testing results.

At step 361, the user-specified calculation parameters are transferred for storage to the database, subject to successful testing of the ability to use the specified calculation parameters to calculate the corresponding dependent indicator.

At step 371, the user's access rights to the primary indicators and intermediate calculation results used and determined in the calculation of the dependent indicator are checked.

At step 381, the calculation parameters testing module tests the calculation parameters if the user has the specified rights.

In a particular case, when the user changes (using system tools, including using input devices) the primary indicator, dependent indicators are calculated that depend on the indicator being changed, and the values of change in the dependent indicators available to the user are displayed on the user’s information device.

Analysis of the current situation and support for decision-making are key tasks in the economic and administrative spheres. The analysis of situations and the development of solution options is usually preceded by the stage of formalizing the situation model, i.e. identification of the main parameters of economic and technological efficiency of activity, connections between them and the strength of influence of some factors on others. At the same time, in complex subject areas, the likelihood of making erroneous decisions when using erroneous data increases. Modern systems, including decision support systems, in addition to using methods of analysis, assessment and decision-making, must contain tools for structuring the situation, a developed user interface, tools for editing and setting up models, as well as visualization of the entire process of building a model. It is necessary for information systems to have tools for analyzing modeling results, interpreting them, as well as means for generating notifications when discrepancies are identified during the above-mentioned data processing.

In a particular case, a list of users who have subscribed to changes in the indicator is specified by the notification module (module for generating and transmitting notifications), and users from the list are notified when the specified indicator changes.

The notification module can generate a notification, including when a change in an indicator is detected (determined, recorded), as well as when inconsistencies in parameter values (parameter inconsistencies) are identified. In this case, one notification can be generated when several changes (inconsistencies, etc.) are detected within a predetermined time, or a separate notification can be generated for each change.

When an indicator changes, for example, if a discrepancy between the indicator and other indicators is detected, the notification module can send a notification to the person responsible for the value of the indicator.

- 3 044801

In a particular case, a range of acceptable values is specified for the initial indicator, and when testing the calculation parameters, the dependent indicator is calculated using the extreme values of the range of acceptable values of the initial indicator and the calculation parameters are considered to have failed testing if there is no influence of the value of the initial indicator on the value of the dependent indicator.

For each indicator, a person responsible for the value of the indicator can be indicated. The input module may be an input device (eg, a keyboard, mouse, etc.) or may be associated with such an input device.

The modules described in the present invention may be part of a database (eg, part or parts of a database management system).

Data can be stored in a relational database containing a set of tables linked to each other using foreign and primary keys and using relationships of the form:

one to one;

one to many.

The described invention accomplishes the following tasks:

creation of new indicators;

editing existing indicators;

publication and deletion of indicators;

filling out and editing a summary description for each indicator;

filling out and editing directories;

downloading signed indicator passports;

search by attributes (described within the scope of the present invention).

Such tasks can be performed as part of the data loading administration and control process, for example, by the data loading administration and control module.

The described invention allows you to add new and edit existing key performance indicators, for example, using the indicator design module;

change basic parameters for filling out and editing the summary description of indicators;

upload (add) signed performance certificates.

The following data can be stored in the database:

indicator name;

Full name of the manager responsible for the indicator;

source of data for generating the indicator;

frequency of loading the indicator;

frequency of publication of the indicator;

a comment;

sign of publication of the indicator in the IAS;

current date of loading the indicator into the information system;

indicator collection date.

Key performance indicators, as a rule, contain a significant number of attributes, which include a description of the indicator;

the order in which the indicator is displayed on the screens;

differentiation of levels of user access rights to the indicator;

indicator display parameters;

logic for calculating the indicator;

other meta information.

Users can interact with the DBMS when creating and editing key performance indicators, either directly or using the indicator construction module (or part thereof), with which users can interact with database tables.

Existing data processing systems can collect, process and store information about a virtually unlimited number of indicators to which the present invention can be applied.

In the process of collecting and using data, it may be revealed that the results of using data, for example, in the process of calculating or using indicators, contradict each other to a greater or lesser extent. For example, the value of the average salary calculated based on data relating to each employee separately may contradict the same value calculated on the basis of the average salary of divisions and the number of employees in each division. The comparison of data obtained from various reporting operations used in the present invention allows not only to identify inconsistencies, but also to determine the data that caused the inconsistency. Moreover, unlike the state of the art, identifying inconsistencies and pointing out erroneous data does not lead to compromise of protected data. For example, with the possibility of unlimited targeted data verification, a person who has received access to the ability to determine the average salary using the above methods and their combination can, by direct and indirect methods, determine the number and payroll of employees in each department, and identify sources of unreliable data. This possibility of information being obtained by unauthorized persons is often unacceptable. In this regard, the invention proposes to provide users with a minimum amount of rights to access and use data, but sufficient to perform everyday tasks. check authority when using data. In this case, for each user or user group, data and methods that can be used by users are specified. In a particular case, the data used may be provided to the user without indicating the data sources or methods of obtaining them. It is important that it is possible to identify identical or similar data, for example, identical parameters that can be obtained from different sources or calculated using different methods, including based on different initial data. In the event that identical source data are used, processed using different methods, the invention makes it possible to identify errors in the means and methods of data processing, for example, to identify the inadmissibility of rounding, which leads to a significant error in the result.

For a number of indicators, not all data of the same type can be collected, but only those data for which efficiency and reliability can be ensured.

In terms of uniformity of designations for identical data, information can be collected from different sources, which are filled in separately, without using a single universal regulation or standard for data entry, and indicators related to the same objects may have different designations. If there is no unambiguous, constant correspondence between different designations, then uncertainty may arise as to which data can or should be used in the calculation of complex indicators, and which in the calculation of integral and composite indicators.

Differences in the choice of units for measuring identical characteristics of different indicators can make it difficult or difficult to compare and calculate indicators.

To display individual production and financial and economic indicators, planned values can be specified or provided, which allows for an increase in the operational qualitative and quantitative assessment of the dynamics of changes in indicators. In a particular case, taking into account the influence of indicators of different divisions on planned indicators provides the opportunity to improve the quality of management if the actual indicators of one of the divisions do not ensure the achievement of planned indicators for the entire production.

When using a system to manage standard indicators, data can be stored and presented explicitly, for example in the form of values established or assigned to each standard, or implicitly, i.e. determination of standards is carried out by calculations according to procedures or algorithms provided in the system for certain standards. Indicators can be presented in comparison with previous periods or in dynamics, including without a predetermined criterion for the quality of the phenomenon or process characterized by the indicator.

In a number of indicators, standards may be present in an implicit form.

The standard can be not only a certain value (or range of values) of an indicator, but also its deviation from a given threshold or planned value. In such cases, the planned values and developed (calculated) criteria for the criticality of deviations can be brought together.

In a particular case, one of the problems solved by the present invention is building a system of standards to determine the degree of influence of some indicators on others, as well as identifying and tracking relationships between indicators.

Indicators of the enterprise's activity, collected and presented in the system, can be distributed according to the formed structure, while the indicators can be assigned, including unambiguously, to certain classification blocks.

Information about the presence and location of a particular indicator that complements the integrity of the picture; all systems of interrelated indicators can be readily available, including being presented, for example, in a screen generated (by the user, using the means of the described system), such as Favorites. Since most indicators are to some extent, directly or indirectly related to each other, the number of indicators that are readily available can include a large number of them. Important relationships, patterns and trends can be identified if most of the indicators characterizing certain phenomena or processes are collected within a single data set, for example, being readily available.

To speed up data processing and calculation of indicators, storage and presentation of indicators in the format of interrelated indicators (indicator tree) can be used. For example, to simplify and speed up the calculation of indicators (and analysis), each indicator is allocated its place in the structure and hierarchy of a system of interrelated indicators (tree of indicators), and indicators related or comparable to it are also marked (with hints). (And). For example, a visual information solution can be implemented.

Indicators can be generated and presented in the format of a generalized indicator, which, in relation to a given threshold (normative) value (or range), forms a characteristic of the current situation.

From such generalized indicators, a system of complex composite and integral indicators can be formed that link characteristics from various parts of the existing classification.

Data for the formation of composite and integral indicators may include, for example, speeches and interviews of the top management of the enterprise;

publications (including open access) about the activities of the enterprise, including on the enterprise’s website;

annual reports of the enterprise and other reporting and presentation materials, including those in the public domain;

internal regulatory documents, for example provisions on key performance indicators of the enterprise, etc.;

reports on the implementation of a daily (quarterly, annual, etc.) plan, for example a daily flight plan;

data stored in the information and analytical system.

Using the above data, key blocks of information can be generated, on which the attention of decision makers on strategic and operational management can be focused, which are used to generate indicators, in particular, integral indicators.

A system of indicators can be a representation of the strategy and development program of an enterprise in the form of specific characteristics that allow one to assess the current state and serve as the basis for making management decisions. In a particular case, the development of an enterprise can be carried out in several directions, for example, relationships with clients (defines/indicates what work with clients should be like in order to attract them and achieve the required financial results);

finance (reflects a focus on increasing the financial results of the enterprise, increasing the value of the enterprise and income for shareholders);

internal processes, operational activities (shows which processes play the most important role in the implementation of the strategy and development program of the enterprise, how these processes are organized, what is their effectiveness);

personnel and infrastructure development, innovation.

For the mentioned relationships with clients, the basic factors determining the enterprise strategy in working with clients may be security;

volume and quality of services.

Maintaining a high level of safety, such as flight safety and security, is typically a top priority for an enterprise. Ensuring the level of security is usually regulated by a number of internal regulations.

In a particular case, one of the key performance indicators, KPIs, determined by the relevant regulations and taking into account industry specifics, is one of the most important indicators.

In rapidly changing market conditions, when the key factor putting pressure on the dynamics of financial and economic indicators may be an increase in fuel prices, in particular for aviation kerosene, the enterprise management may decide to implement a large-scale program to maintain financial results. Thus, the focus may be on proactive revenue management and cost optimization initiatives.

Ensuring optimal financial results can largely depend on comprehensive monitoring of financial and economic indicators and strict control over the processes that determine them.

The system database can store a large number of indicators that can indicate the quality of implementation of both the above program for maintaining financial results and, in general, the strategy and development program of the enterprise in terms of finance.

Thus, the peculiarity of data presentation in the system and the presence of heterogeneous, different-sized indicators characterizing the financial activities of the enterprise, its subsidiaries and individual divisions determine the need to generalize indicators, including those from different structural blocks. At the same time, the form is important, in particular a convenient form, including for the presentation and processing of summarized data, and a scheme for calculating the indicator and transparent and reasonable methods of analysis, ensuring both the efficiency of the assessment and the ability to detail the situation and its in-depth consideration, identifying relationships and trends .

Thus, a group of financial and economic characteristics can be formed into one integral indicator, as described within the framework of the present invention.

Regarding internal processes and operational activities, the organization of enterprise processes (including business processes, production processes, etc.) is directly related to both the volume, quality and range of services provided, and to the achieved financial results.

The data contained in the mentioned data sources (for example, reports, presentations, regulatory documents, interviews and reports, etc.) and reflecting the activities of the enterprise contain information about the development and optimization of processes (including business processes) of the enterprise, in including the use of modern technologies, and are key to optimizing costs and service levels.

Various-sized characteristics, interrelated indicators for various blocks, etc. are used to detect a problem, accurately and efficiently evaluate, identify the causes of not only negative, but also positive results in order to reproduce them.

For a number of production indicators, heterogeneous characteristics are generalized and reduced into integral indicators, as well as providing the possibility of detailing the situation for its in-depth analysis and management decision-making.

Thus, an integral indicator can be generated for the line's performance plans for production indicators, as described within the framework of the present invention.

Regarding personnel development, indicators characterizing the state and development of personnel represent a significant layer of information that should be in the area of constant attention, including the strategic and operational management of the enterprise.

At the same time, at least a complete, transparent and reliable set of data should be generated for most categories of personnel.

In a particular case, the generated data sets (or, in a particular case, one data set) about personnel may include indicators on the structural composition of personnel, including the total actual number of personnel, staffing levels, vacancies and the number of trained personnel.

In the generated data set, the data may include static data, in particular, it may not include data on the possible movement of personnel and the planned change in the number of jobs. This may lead to the fact that the manager suddenly finds himself faced with a shortage of any of the key categories of personnel. In this regard, the list of basic indicators can be supplemented with the following indicators:

forecast of staff turnover and departure;

recruitment plan for newly commissioned workplaces; indicators characterizing the situation on the personnel labor market.

Within the framework of the present invention, grouping and generalization of basic indicators for analyzing the activities of an enterprise can be carried out without losing information content and reducing the quality of the assessment.
