This thesis paper introduces you about the process of how to build an inventory tracking system in a local Swedish company. The related project is to support the thesis paper, and is also for the company’ using. The software product of this project is an application that works for managing various types’ instruments in the company of SWECO-Vaxjo. It will play an important role in the further management work of the company. In this thesis paper, the candidate techniques and theories for implementing this system are discussed. And in the end a good solution for this problem will be presented in the paper.

Axel Spetz AB är ett anrikt företag som driver en järnhandel i Falköping. Företaget har tidigare använt sig av marknadsföring i lokaltidningen men insåg fördelen med att använda Internet som verktyg. Deras idé var en ”Blocket.se”-liknande funktion på deras hemsida som skulle göra det möjligt för dem att marknadsföra artiklar. Formuleringen på deras behov och det som legat till grunden för detta projekt var: Hur tillverkar man en avancerad publiceringsfunktion som är lätt att använda? Inledningsvis gjordes en teoretisk studie inom områdena databaser, SQL, .NET och Visual Studio. Valet föll så här eftersom det var områden jag ville lära mig mer om. Under utvecklingsarbetet i ovan nämnda tekniker hölls en tät kontakt med representanter från företag för att de snabbt skulle kunna ge respons på arbetet. Projektet resulterade i två olika saker: -En lösenordsskyddad administrationsdel där all administration såsom publicering av artiklar, hantering av artiklar och kategorier, intresseanmälningar, ändring av öppettider m.m. kan skötas på ett enkelt sätt. -Företagets hemsida där besökare kan ta del av aktuella erbjudanden, bläddra bland artiklar, kontakta företaget, läsa företagsinformation, lämna intresseanmälningar på artiklar m.m. All programmering har gjorts med slutanvändarna, dvs. anställda på företaget och besökare på hemsidan i åtanke. Ett antal felkontroller både färdiga och egentillverkade har använts för att se till att fel inte uppstår i arbetet med databasen. Istället för ”riktiga” felmeddelanden visas förklarande texter om vad som måste åtgärdas. I projektets slutskede så lanserades Axel Spetz nya hemsida och den började direkt användas som ett verktyg i företagets marknadsföring. Jag anser att det är ett bra bevis på att projektet var lyckat.

The purpose of this diploma thesis was to build a management information system for a given microenterprise and to implement it successfully. This thesis aims to assess the risks, costs and benefits of the information system and to provide recommendations for analogous projects of the information system implementation in the future. The thesis is divided into two parts, theory and case study. The former summarises the most important fact on management information systems in general, the latter introduces the given microenterprise and pursues the process from building of the system to its implementation in the enterprise. Microsoft Access, database management system, proved to be a good solution for building an information system for the enterprise. The thesis delivers the following results: the information system itself, costs and benefits evaluation and the set of recommendations for similar projects. The main contribution of this thesis consists in the focus on microenterprises and in the real example pursued in the second part of the thesis.

The main topic of this thesis is design and implementation of decision support systems in the environment of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access by a programmer or advanced user. The thesis provides basic theory regarding principles and the history of decision support systems. The thesis explains technologies that are the backbone of Microsoft Office suite and applies these technologies to create set of "best practices" for designing and programming decision support systems and demonstrates this set with two sample implementatios. Both implementations are compared, advantages and disadvantages of each are shown.

Manufacturing systems are complex entities comprised of people, processes, products, information systems and data, material processing, handling, and storage systems. Because of this complexity, systems must be modeled using a variety of views and modeling formalisms. In order to design and analyze manufacturing systems, the multiple views and models often need to be considered simultaneously. However, no single tool or computing environment currently exists that allows this to be done in an efficient and intelligible manner. New tools such as HTML and VRML present a promising approach for tackling these problems. They make possible environments where the different models can coexist and where mapping/linking between the models can be achieved. This research is concerned with developing a hybrid HTML/VRML environment for manufacturing systems modeling and analysis. Experiment was performed to compare this hybrid-modeling HTML/VRML environment to the traditional database environment in order to answer typical design/analysis questions associated with manufacturing systems, and to establish the potential advantages of this approach. Analyzing results obtained from the experiment indicated that the HTML/VRML approach might result in better understanding of a manufacturing system than the traditional database approach. / Master of Science

The world is becoming increasingly digitized, and with this trend comes an increas-ing need for storing data for companies of all sizes. For smaller enterprises, thiscould prove to be a major challenge due to limitations in knowledge and financialassets. So the purpose of this study is to investigate how smaller companies cansatisfy their needs for data storage and which database management system to usein order to not let their shortcomings hold their development and growth back. Tofulfill this purpose, a small wood processing company in Sweden is examined andused as an example. To investigate and answer the problem, literary research is con-ducted to gain knowledge about data storage and the different options for this thatexist. Microsoft Access, MySQL, and MongoDB are selected for evaluation andtheir performance is compared in controlled experiments. The results of this studyindicates that, due to the small amount of data that the example company possesses,the simplicity of Microsoft Access trumps the high performance of its competitors.However, with increasingly developed internet infrastructure, the option of hostinga database in the cloud has become a feasible option. If hosting the database in thecloud is the desired solution, Microsoft Access has a higher operating cost than theother alternatives, making MySQL come out on top.

This project describes DRG (Dynamic Report Generator). This program can be used on the internet to summarize the content of a database based on user criteria. DRG allows the user to choose a database, input the data, and generate a report based on user input, and print out the results in a new format. This paper describes the design and analysis of the DRG program.

The purpose of this project was to develop a tool / utility for network administrators to maintain information about all the systems operated by the College of Natural Sciences at California State University, San Bernardino.
