Overview of ERP Data Management System

Michigan Environmental Results Program Dry Cleaning Data Collection
and Management Tool
In 2005 the MDEQ was awarded a $199,200.00 State Innovation Grant (SIG) from USEPA to
develop and implement its dry cleaning ERP. Approximately $125,870 of the funding was allocated to
the development of an electronic data collection tool that could be used to manage data collect from
the ERP. As required by the SIG, this tool is transferrable to other interested states.
The MDEQ developed a video tutorial that provides an overview of the
system. The video is approximately 12 minutes. View the video by going to
http://www.screencast.com/t/ujjEkUnUvt9 or click HERE.
Note: Headphones or speakers should be used to hear the audio. If you
experience problems please contact James Ostrowski at
ostrowskij2@michigan.gov or 517.241.8057
The Dry Cleaner System consists of two components: A web-based administrative component and a
field inspection program.
The web-based application fully supports the data tracking and management for the Dry Cleaning
sector. The web-based application is divided into four modules:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Establishment: In this module the program admin/staff can track and manage all establishment
related activities including facility information, related inspections, related equipment,
billing/invoice/payment information and license issuance and printing.
Billing and Licensing: In this module program admin/staff can centrally manage all billing
related information for all facilities
Reports: From this module program admin/staff can generate various summary reports
System Manager: this will be primarily used by program staff at MDEQ to centrally manage
the Dry Cleaning program data.

The Field Inspection Program, a subset of the Dry Cleaner application, is dedicated for field inspection
activities and used only by field inspectors. The Field Inspection Program is implemented and
installed on a tablet PC, with which an inspector can both conduct activities and record inspection
results in the field.
The Field Inspection Program application requires a server for synchronizing information to and from
the main system.

Appendix B - 1

Key values of Field Inspection Program are the following:
o Increase in field staff work efficiency
o Elimination of duplicate data entry
o Elimination of paper forms
o Motivated staff
Capabilities of Field Inspection Program include:
o Field data capture
o Establishment Inquiry and History
The user guides for each of these programs is contained on the following pages of this appendix.
