Abstract:

This thesis investigated the feasibility of developing a small scale management information system on a micro-computer. The working system was developed around the Operations Research Society of America ORSA three tiered review and acceptance process for articles submitted for publication in the ORSA journal. The management information system was designed using Ashton-Tates dBaseIII software. As designed, the system will operate on any computer operating under microsofts Disk Operating System MS-DOS. The user must provide his own dBaseIII software. A similar management information system could be tailored to almost any operation having a need to monitor, control and evaluate time sensitive workloads.
