A cost-benefit analysis guided system planners, clarifying project goals, costs, and outcomes. This process fostered team collaboration and improved information system implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Health Care Management
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • System planners require robust data for project justification and strategic decision-making.
  • Effective project management necessitates clear objectives, defined alternatives, and anticipated outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of cost-benefit analysis in guiding the implementation of an integrated materials management information system.
  • To explore how cost-benefit analysis can enhance project focus, team involvement, and commitment.

Main Methods:

  • A cost-benefit analysis was conducted to inform system planning and project development.
  • The development process involved cross-functional teams from materials management and accounts payable.
  • New management review and quality assurance processes were introduced.

Main Results:

  • The cost-benefit analysis provided critical information on project rationale, alternatives, costs, and expected outcomes.
  • The analysis process fostered team focus, motivation, and buy-in from key departments.
  • The project evolved into a collaborative effort, enhancing commitment and ownership.
  • Introduction of new review and quality assurance processes improved the final product.

Conclusions:

  • Cost-benefit analysis is an effective planning tool for complex information system projects.
  • Involving diverse stakeholders in the analysis process drives project success and commitment.
  • Structured review and quality assurance processes are integral to successful system implementation.
