With a focus on （c） and assuming flexibility as a core property that an MIS （Management Information System） should have to make management agile, this study aims to clarify how MIS flexibility could be enhanced. With this aim in mind, the authors will first survey the sources and types of change demands on an MIS and consider in a structured way the flexibility characteristics of an MIS, enhancement of which will conduce to its efficiency in dealing with these change demands. With this groundwork laid, the authors will go on to discuss practical methods to enhance MIS flexibility, and wind up their discussion by presenting the evaluation procedure for this property.展开更多

Generally speaking, engineering construction quality is related both to national economic development and safety of people and assets. To turn a design map into a materialized object, the construction project involves a large number of elements, such as design, materials, machinery, landform, geological factors, meteorological factors, construction process, technological measures and supervision system. Therefore, quality control holds the key to a construction project.展开更多
