Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme als Baustein des Umweltcontrolling mit Fallbeispiel: Konzeption eines betrieblichen Umweltinformationssystems für KFZ-Betriebe

The master thesis on "Operational Environmental Information Systems as a Module for Environmental Controlling with Case Study: Conception of an Operational Environmental Information System for Motor Vehicle Firms" consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part comprises the description of the individual functions of the environmental controlling as well as a presentation, showing how these functions can be supported by an environmental information system (EIS). In addition, the structure, already existing approaches and trends of EIS are illustrated. In the second part, the case study of a EIS concept for motor vehicle firms demonstrates the possibilities of a practical translation and the support of the functions of environmental controlling by means of a EIS. The benefit of the EIS for motor vehicle firms is manifested in the systematic collection and supply of environmentally relevant information, assisting the firms in their endeavor of providing solutions for their environmental tasks and of furnishing a continuous improvement of the economic and ecological action. On the basis of an actual analysis, which represents the result of an interview of 32 motor vehicle firms in the Province of Salzburg, the functional and technical demands for a EIS for motor vehicle firms were developed. The specification of the structure as well as the individual functions of the EIS concept is given throughout a description of 33 screen masks, developed by using Microsoft Access, a data base program. The representations are supplemented by the description of the cost-benefit potentials as well as by giving reference to the problems arising in the translation of such an EIS concept.
