Research and Development on a Web-Based Project Cost Integrated Management System

The author tries to develop a web-based Project Cost Integrated Management System (WPCIMS) in China. The targets, the Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) and its code system, the functional planning, the framework and the technical index of the WPCIMS were presented firstly. Then, its functional planning of the WPCIMS were established. And the framework of the WPCIMS are planed by the team who are preparing to develope and implement the WPCIMS. Finally, until an prototype was developed, an experimental implement of this developed system were put forward in 3 A/E/C project. Results show that the acceptance and implement of the WPCIMS can significantly improve the performance of the project cost control.
