REQUIREMENTS PLANNING FOR CONTROL OF INFORMATION RESOURCES
针对信息产品生产中规划、调度和控制被忽视的问题，提出用需求规划模型来管理多级信息源的报告组装，并以卫星控制系统为例说明其应用。
Producing reports assembled from files, records, and raw data is a major function of the computer in modern organizations. Transaction processing, records management, file organization, and data‐base management are aspects of the information production function that have received a good deal of attention. But planning, scheduling, and controlling the production of information products have been neglected. For complex applications involving assembly of reports from multilevel information sources, the requirements planning model is suggested as an effective alternative to present methods. Thus, our suggestion is that the computer be used to plan, schedule, and control computer production of information products. Presently available material requirements planning software may be employed with minor modifications that depend on the given information system characteristics. In this paper an example of requirements planning as applied to production of information in a satellite control system is presented.
