One of six documents describing the Management Information System for Vocational Education (MISVE), this document is intended to provide administrators and managers with information needed by them to estimate resource requirements for implementing MISVE in their State, plan for selecting and implementing generalized computer software, plan for adapting the prototype package, and plan for information flow. (MISVE was designed to provide users with an advanced management information system (MIS) capability that could effectively respond to current information needs of vocational education managers, to their new and emerging data needs, as well as permit adaptability in meeting unique operational requirements.) Two sections are included: Section I is concerned with planning concerns that need to be considered by MISVE management and staff responsible for system operations. (These concerns include orienting data suppliers and consumers to MISVE, planning for information flow, and planning for staff training.) Section II details the resources required to install and operate MISVE. (SH)
