2、 Promote fundamental changes in the nature of program management
The tools used in the manual processing system are generally simple calculation tools. The Planning Commission spends a lot of time working on abacus and report preparation. If computer management is adopted, some summary and tabulation work is no longer the responsibility of plan managers. Planners can use praise time to study and analyze the social and economic situation, go deep into the lower level for investigation and research, and solve the weak link in plan balance. This has led the planners to get rid of routine work and turn to decision-making plan management, The nature of the planned work has changed fundamentally.
Some people once thought that the use of computers would reduce the number of planners, which caused planners to resist the use of computers. However, from the actual trial situation, the increase or decrease of staff seemed to have nothing to do with the use of computers, but it was related to the quality of staff. Because simple administration is also available in manual processing system. Streamlining unnecessary administrative personnel is a requirement of economic restructuring. If there were too many planning organs in the past, it was a requirement of structural reform to streamline them. The use of computer management will not reduce the number of personnel in line with the requirements of the system reform, but requires planners to use computers as an effective tool for planning work, and in some cases, may increase the number of personnel. Therefore, computer management only changes the nature of planned work. This change is a good thing.
3、 Improved efficiency
Computer management, due to the use of database, avoids data redundancy and duplication, reduces intermediate links, and makes planning work more effective. At the same time, due to the realization of office automation, conference efficiency and office efficiency are greatly improved, and problems can be handled in a timely manner, so that the planning department can control and guide social and economic development.
4、 Give full play to the role of modern planning methods
With the in-depth research and practice of planning methods, planners are increasingly using some modern planning methods to predict and make decisions. However, the manual processing system has no database and no computer, so such work is greatly limited. If a database and program library are configured in the computer processing system, It enables planners to use modern methods to study and solve some practical problems. If input-output model, optimal planning model, econometric model, network planning technology, economic simulation technology, etc. are handled manually, it is unimaginable in many cases.
