Centre for Pig Production and Research (CPPR), Mannuthy to analyse the
merits and demerits of the MIS presently available in the farm and to formulate
an MIS based on computer software which may improve managerial efficacy
and decision making process in swine farm and to develop, refine and then
recommend a management information system.
The merits and demerits of the present MIS in the centre were studied by
•
conducting a survey using separate and well-designed questionnaire among
scientists technical staff and administrative staff and also by interview. The
information obtained in the survey were analysed and meaningful conclusions
were drawn on the efficiency of the present MIS.
Observations were made on the present MIS prevailing in the Centre
with regard to various production parameters such as animals, its production
and reproduction details, feeding, breeding, weeding, human resource
components, labour• management administration, financial implications,
research, teaching and extension activities, profit and loss account productivity
of each element and all other related elements.
A computerized MIS was developed using the data collected from the
farm. The enterprise edition of Visual Basic 6.0 was used as front end, while
MS Access-97 was used as back end for the package developed.
The MIS developed under this study is structured under a main menu
with various sub-menus such as System, History, Administration, Research,
/
Breed and Management. The System sub-menu has Change Password, Users
and Exit options. The History sub-menu is segmented into Introduction, Units
divisions, Layout, Objectives, Head of Station and Teaching and Extension
options. The Administration sub-menu is divided into Employee details, Pay
Entry Staff, Pay Entry Labours, Enter Biodata and List Employees options.
The Research sub-menu has Select Title and Add Title options. Breed sub-
menu is provided with Details, Breed pictures, Add Animal group, Add
Animal, Birth Entry, Death Entry, Sales and Care and Management options.
The sub-menu Management is segmented into Registers, Profit/loss, Weight
Recordings, Feed Management and Profit Loss Entry options.
The developed software was tested by an "on-farm trial run" in the
Centre for a period of one month for identifying the defects and the developed
MIS has recommended as a model after rectifying the defect. The model can be
recommended for other farms with necessary modifications.
