The Informatization Construction of the Forestry

Enterprise in China

Abstract: Facing the developing characteristic of informatization and intensification, the forestry enterprises can stand unassailable position in the market competition by accelerating realization of informatization. So based on the characters of the extensive management pattern and the only way they can go is the intensified path. If they want get the benefit from the enterprises management then the informatization is the effective method to Enhances the business management level forestry enterprise, the author suggested that the overall infomatization of forestry enterprises can be accomplished step by step. The author also suggested that the element task of forestry industry administration or forestry apartment is to manage platform of the E-government well and the key content is to strengthen the safety of network and develop towards internationalized direction.

Keywords: forestry enterprise, informatization, system, network

In the 21st century, we already marched into the information-based society. We may see that the informatization is changing people's production method and the life style. With the support of informatization, all the various trades and occupations are reforming work flow and management system. From this, all the trades and occupations have enhanced their working efficiency. The enhanced staff and administrative personnel's quality and fundamentally enhanced the enterprise competitive power too.

What the forestry enterprise engaged in is all kinds of forestry’s production management. Such as the forest resources cultivation, manages the development and utilize, and so on. At present, the forestry enterprises already formed a series of forestry principal work including the a forestation, the lumber picks transports, the woodworking, the forest product chemical industry, the forestry machinery, the forestry papermaking and the forest region civil engineering construction and so on. They constituted the interdependence, the communal development industry system covering first, second and third industrial forestry. But facing with the policy of " Natural forest protection project" and the forestry structure changing, the forestry enterprise cannot walk along

and obtains the economic efficiency.

Chinese forestry enterprises start to construct and develop their own information system. Lumber industry bureau is in the forestry enterprise's development leading role. Therefore lumber industry bureau’s level of informatization influence all kinds of forestry enterprise's informatization condition directly. From the overall looking, the informatization progress of Chinese forestry enterprises is slow. Therefore it’s necessary for us to research how to construct the informatization system.

According to the forestry enterprise's characteristic, the work of informatization should grasp from the foundation work

and

consummates

gradually.

The

key

of

informatization’s realization lies in the leadership, the measure efficient, the detailed plan’s establishment and the clear goal. We should persist that the informatization impetus forestry modernization. We should display the information technology‘s multiply function in promoting the tradition forestry industry transformation fully.

Ⅰ. Informatization of Basic forestry enterprises

(1) Develop the gradual goal of informatization

Forestry enterprise informatization is a long-term process which advances gradually. The forestry enterprises need a developmental strategy which includes clearing off the development mentality, the overall plan implementing, the benefit actuation, key breakthrough, and comprehensive advancement. Facing existing all kinds of information system, such as : the management information system, the decision support system, the office automation system, the expert system, customer relations management system management system, supply chain management system and so on, the forestry enterprises must set up all kinds of systems by

unifying own characteristic, according to the need, taking benefit as the goal. The forestry enterprises should do this step by step. According to the forestry enterprises characteristic, the gradual goal may be divided into three phrases:

Firstly, initial stage, namely take strengthens the enterprise internal management as the goal, realization service level management becoming an information based society, completes enterprise interior becoming an information based society the standardization and the standardization, may include specifically the system includes: Office automation system, accounting information system, supply chain management system management system and so on.

Secondly, the intermediate stage, namely by realizes the business management level information to change into the goal. May contain specifically the system includes: Management information system, financial analysis system, customer relations management system management system and so on..

Thirdly, the higher phase, namely by realizes the enterprise decision-making strata information to change into the goal, certainly, here decision-making is refers to the computer the auxiliary decision-making. May use the system include: Decision support system, expert system and so on.

(2) Choose the suitable technology

In hardware choice, the choosing must meet the enterprise realistic needs, and must have the good extension and the compatibility, will avoid when the next promotion development the building redundant project but will cause the resources waste, will construct a set gradually highly effective, the practical information system, realization true significance becoming an information based society. The forestry enterprise may choose the different becoming an information based society network architecture in the development different stage. Such as:

Firstly, INTRANET (enterprise interior network), the general forestry bureau may in the enterprise interior realization becoming an information based society management, connect the enterprise interior various departments between forms a local area network, thus enhances the enterprise information the speed of flow, is the business management high quality provides, the quick information service.

Secondly, EXTRANET (enterprise exterior network), the enterprise is high when the becoming an information based society degree, if has used the customer management information system, then needs the enterprise to open the partial channels, enables the user who outside the network enter the system, inquires the information and provides the feedback opinion. Then the forestry enterprise can realize this function by using the EXTRANET network architecture. Certainly, for the security of network system, the enterprise should set up the corresponding firewall.

(3) Synthesis realization of informatization

The basic unit forestry enterprise after has the plan, is divided stage realization becoming an information based society, may complete the forestry resources map and the form data synthesis inquiry, the retrieval, the statistics and the renewal, for constructs the entire province forestry resources database to provide the data support; Increases the information resource development dynamics, the perfect information security safeguard system, consummates the related standard and the standard, sharpens the information resource sharing ability; Realizes the forestry office automation, the forestry information standardization, the forest management modernization, forestry service networked, the forestry decision-making scientific style gradually, finally completes take the information technology widespread application as the premise, the information resource development and sharing for the core, the information network for the foundation, the forestry operational channel for the main body, the becoming an information based society organizations and agencies construction for the safeguard, the consummation correlation standard for the strut complex compound.

Ⅱ. Lumber industry bureau information system construction

(1) The lumber industry bureau completes to various forestry bureau's management about the instruction work

Because the forestry propaganda is the forestry work "the first working procedure", therefore the lumber industry bureau should provide technical and the resources service in the realization becoming information based society process to various forestry bureau, and provides the foreign issue information for it’s the medium. There are more important

tasks:

Firstly, construct forestry laws and regulations database In lumber industry bureau website center should provide the forestry laws and regulations data, by supplies the forestry enterprise to inquire. Various forestry enterprise during the reference operation regulation goal, according to the forestry enterprise's actual situation proposed as necessary respective opinion and the suggestion, this is advantageous in the lumber industry bureau in listens to the general populations numerous suggestions in the foundation, the prompting collection to the forestry enterprises data and realizing the information content, the information storage and the information transmission digitization, the standardization and the systematization. Providing the prompt accurate information (present situation, progress, dynamic), realizing various project management, outputting the monthly report, the quarterly report and the annual report, monitoring the overall layout macroscopic are the information systems functions too. This system provides the powerful basis for advancing the processing of forestry production management prompt revision corresponding laws and regulations and the forestry policy, guarantee the forestry laws and regulations and the policy is serves for the forestry enterprise. The lumber industry bureau includes builds the place laws and regulations database independently, but also may link with the national forestry bureau establishment, so can provide the quick channel for inquiring country forestry policy for the user.

Secondly, promoting the forestry daily office automation system

Systems, such as archives processing, records management, video frequency conference, email, video on demand, video on communication and electronic book stacks, should be further consummated to enable the three levels of forestry departments including the province, the city and the county realize automation smoothly.

(2) Collect and issue subordinate various forestry enterprises data

Firstly, inquire forest data stochastically

Collecting the forestry geography foundation data and the forestry attribute data, organizing the geography foundation data are critical task for us to realize

informatization. The information systems should have the functions including the realization in the entire province scope willfully change, the three-dimensional solid display and the seamless roams and so on. Finally, from the systems we can inquire forest data from the province to the city even to the various forestry areas.

Secondly, establish the forestry information management system

Establish the forestry information management system by using "3S" technology and take the geographic information system as the core. The systems carry on the task of

for all levels of forestry administration departments, controlling management quality, evaluating forestry various ecological engineering benefit, adjusting forestry productive forces layout and the investment structure.

Thirdly, renew forestry enterprises’ information dynamically

The forestry development changes with each new day, including the forestry production technology, the forest management technology and other more recent information. These request lumber industry bureau can promptly collect more recently development tendency include domestic and the foreign forestry enterprise. The lumber industry bureau should set up the safe and security forestry wideband communication data network; realize multi-purpose, the multimedia data exchange and the correspondence service. The forestry enterprise information announcement in the homepage enables the forestry enterprise in the net to share the information and resources promptly transform the strategic plan and the management strategy.

Ⅲ. Walk along the internationalization path of informatization

Firstly, develop the multi-countries language and the visible interface

Without the multi-countries language and the visible interface, the forestry industry bureau website has a big hindrance to the forestry enterprise information international exchange.

Therefore,

facing

the

tendency

of

internationalization and the integrated the forestry enterprise information demonstrated should be designed in different languages in order to get the facilitates international exchange and the cooperation. Such as, Heilongjiang province is a close neighbor to Russia, for the maximization uses of its forest

resources and develops cooperation relations, Heilongjiang Province may take Russia as the main visual interface.

Secondly, set up the security system and prevent the malicious attack

To protect the information system, the enterprise should develop a set of high and new technology and methods, in view of the dynamic, magnanimous, high speed multimedia information flowing on wide band network or in the large-scale information systems. This kind of technology can gather information and carry on the intellectualized forestry enterprise.

In fact, forestry enterprise informatization has the undoubted vital role in promoting forestry enterprise competitive power. The forestry enterprise resource conformity, the use, the enterprise information function display, and even decision-making of the business management level, all need to carry on under the informatization assistance. In the market great change and the commercial war like tide society, any hesitant to the market can bring the huge regret. It’s possible for us to stand in the monitoring analysis. From this information the technology can monitor and find the invasion signal and the contrary behavior in time. Then the technology adopts the early warning mode or defects the sabotage and the contrary behavior on real-time. At the same time, the forestry enterprise should develop the technology of information monitoring, gathering, analysis and filtering. Developing the access and control technology of Internet to achieve the target of controlling information pollution and guaranteeing information security is another task for forestry enterprise. And finally achieves the aim of safeguarding network information system security and enhancing the anti- attack, the anti- destructive capability.

Thirdly, enhance the method of getting information If the forestry enterprise wants to stand on an impregnable position in the internationalization and the integrated development tendency, then the enterprise should have diversification methods to obtain the information. Besides the forestry bureau internal information linking and sharing, the international on-line retrieval is also an important method for information obtaining. Therefore forestry enterprise can get omni-directional international information and release the enterprise information on Internet by using it. It can serve for the internationalization development of the

time wave crest only from the way of getting the accurate market pulse and attacking rapidly. And it’s obviously that the forestry enterprise can achieve such goal only by using the modern information technology. So forestry enterprise informatization is an undoubted selection. The forestry enterprise is able to move towards intensified, modernized, and internationalized development path inevitably through implementing the comprehensive informatization
