Modelo de um sistema de informação para o controlo orçamental nos CFM

Abstract

The introduction and advances of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) continue to profoundly change the way organizations evolve and their businesses are treated. Technological development has allowed all information to be supported in computational methods. Thus, at the level of organizations, the Information System (IS) tends to have a significant computer support (Nunes & O’Neill, 2001). The use of the UML-Unified Modeling Language opens perspectives to respond to the challenge of developing new information systems, which are increasingly complex, robust, reliable and adjusted to the users' needs. Recognizing the great importance of budget management, particularly the Budget Control component], in contributing to the development of organizations, this work aims to design a model of an information system that supports the budget control activity in the Department of Finance (DF) of the company Portos e Caminhos de Feno de Moçambique, EP (CFM). This model makes use of the UML language and was motivated by the major organizational and information systems reform underway at the CFM company. In a nutshell, the Undergraduate Work comprises seven (7) chapters, where the first one refers to the introduction and objectives, in general terms, the problem under study, the technical importance and the objectives of the work. The second chapter includes the materials and methods used to elaborate the work and reach the outlined objectives. Chapter three refers to budget management in general, framing budget control. The fourth, fifth and sixth chapters reflect the Methodology used, the system under study, reflecting the reality of the company, in order to find a solution that best suits the problem and modeling the system under study with the UML tool, this language consists of the diagrammatic representation of the system. The seventh and last chapter presents the conclusions, considerations, recommendations and the bibliography consulted and referenced in the work.
