The cost-benefit analysis provided the system planners with valuable information that served many purposes. It answered the following questions: Why was the CCF undertaking this project? What were the alternatives? How much was it going to cost? And what was the expected outcome? The process of developing cost-benefit the document kept the project team focused. It also motivated them to involve additional individuals from materials management and accounts payable in its development. A byproduct of this involvement was buy-in and commitment to the project by everyone in these areas. Consequently, the project became a team effort championed by many and not just one. We were also able to introduce two new information system processes: 1) a management review process with goals and anticipated results, and 2) a quality assurance process that ensured the CCF had a better product in the end. The cost-benefit analysis provided a planning tool that assisted in successful implementation of an integrated materials management information system.
成本效益分析为系统规划者提供了有价值的信息，这些信息有多种用途。它回答了以下问题：CCF为何开展此项目？有哪些替代方案？成本是多少？预期结果是什么？制定成本效益文件的过程使项目团队保持专注。这也促使他们邀请材料管理和应付账款部门的更多人员参与文件的制定。这种参与的一个附带成果是这些领域的每个人都对项目产生认同并做出承诺。因此，该项目成为了众人而非一人支持的团队努力成果。我们还能够引入两个新的信息系统流程：1）具有目标和预期结果的管理评审流程，以及2）确保CCF最终获得更好产品的质量保证流程。成本效益分析提供了一种规划工具，有助于成功实施综合材料管理信息系统。
