Thanks to modern business conditions, more and more requirements are placed on centralized data processing associated with the concentration of a significant part of the computing power in the place of its direct use.
This fact allows you to remove those intermediate links that today still exist in the interaction of man and computer. As a result, only one employee at his workplace can perform a full work cycle, which consists in entering information and obtaining results.
It is possible to automate a workplace with the aim of creating the basis of a control system by equipping it with technical means, with the help of which it is ensured that people participate in the implementation of the automation function.
In other words, today it is necessary to form a problem-oriented complex of linguistic, software and hardware. The establishment of such a complex is carried out directly at the user in the workplace. Its main purpose is to automate the workplace in the design process with the subsequent solution of the necessary tasks.
An automated workplace has the following characteristics:
- a combination of various means available to the user (software, information and technical);
- computing equipment should be located at the user's workplace;
- there is the possibility of continuous modernization of data processing processes in an automated manner in any field of activity;
- the data processing process is carried out by the user independently;
- the dialogue mode should allow the user to interact with the computer during the design of management tasks, and when determining options for solving them.
Specialist workstation refers to a specific class of such places and depends on:
- the scope of use (for example, in design, scientific activity, as well as in production and technological processes and organizational management);
- type of computer equipment in use;
- operating mode (group, network or individual);
- qualification training of specialists (professional or non-professional).
There is the possibility of a more detailed classification within each group.
Automate the workplace by dividing the management into several levels. The first level is the head of the enterprise, the second is employees of the logistics departments, the third is planned employees and the fourth is accountants. Of course, such an organization of work can be conditionally adopted at the enterprise. The conceptual difference of this concept from the above types is the functional, physical and ergonomic adjustment for a specific user, or their group.
The automated workplace of the accountant helps to bring the direct user closer to all the technical capabilities of today Also, such a place favors the creation of comfortable working conditions without some intermediaries (for example, professional programmers). At the same time, it also becomes possible to work in various modes (stand-alone or network).
Basically, they seek to automate the workplace in organizations in three main areas: among managers, among specialists, and among technical personnel. The use of various tools to create these jobs depends on their class.
