1. OFFICE FURNITURE

MODERN OFFICE – WELL PLANNED, COMFORTABLE, TIME-SAVING

  Modern modular furniture offers great flexibility to create interesting configurations. Movable partitions can change the size of the space: being moved around they divide big spaces into work cubicles.

  A senior management office can be divided into three zones: a working zone, a conference zone for meetings with employees and an area for relaxation and entertaining visitors. 

  Modular and ergonomic furniture optimizes the amount of usable space and can organize functional and comfortable workstations, Manufacturing companies offer a selectable of Corner constructions, shelves, compact desks with rounded corners, light weight filing cabinets with wheels which can be tucked away under desks, conference groupings and upholstered or leather furniture, office wardrobes of various designs and sizes.

  The colour of the floor has an effect on people: they tend to feel less confident when walking on shiny floors от од light carpeting. Dark carpeting gives visitors a feeling of stability.

  Neutral colours and surfaces are recommended for conservative offices: warm colours such as beiges keep people relaxed, while cool colours - blue, grey - keep people energetic and concentrated. For offices where desk-top computers are the main means for work, it is recommended to have the walls painted in a light shade of green, as green is relaxing on eyes that have been 'glued' to a computer monitor.

  Artwork - watercolors, landscapes - placed on a wall will also help-cope with fatigue and irritation.

2. OFFICE EQUIPMENT

OFFICE ESSENTIALS

  Most offices start with the basics: a telephone/fax machine combination, computer and a copying machine. A modern fax machine can be combined with a digital answering machine, telephone, digital memory, and error correction.

  It is important that the computer suits the needs of the user. There are Internet machines (Net Stations') that do not have hard disks and are specifically for web browsing. Computers are usually bundled with the software from which you can choose what you need. A network laser printer is economical and efficient, as office workers from many workstations can print from the same machine.

  The latest copiers have digital functions, colour capabilities, high quantity stacking capabilities.

  Very often it is possible for every employee in an office to have a telephone extension at the desk. Workers can make direct calls from their own phones to anybody else in the office, through internal switchboard and telephone switching systems or calling centres. Calling centres have a great capacity, and can accommodate from hundreds to tens of hundreds of subscribers. It is possible to use voice mail to call a person if he or she is not available at the desk.

  Another must in an office is a document shredder. Big offices generate lots of waste paper, and a shredder is particularly useful when there are checks, bank statements or other confidential materials to be shredded. 

3. COMPUTERS IN AN OFFICE

USING COMPUTERS

  A computer really makes office life easier as it can do all sorts of different jobs. The same computer could be used, for example, as a word processor, for filing, printing, working out statistics for the accounts department, communicating with other offices, web browsing.

  When a company decides to install a computer, it usually gets a system administrator to study the ways in which the machine might best be used. If the company is a large one, the system administrator may be a full-time employee, looking after the continuous improvement and adaptation of the computer system. The system administrator will recommend what kinds of program and computer equipment are required.

  Many companies buy ready-written programs 'off the shelf, or buy programs that can be tailored to specific needs but are mostly standard. This reduces the cost of the system, for programming is very expensive and time-consuming. Once it is installed and running, a well-designed computer system can take over much of the routine work and at the same time provide accurate information about the business quickly and efficiently. 

LOCAL AREA NETWORK FOR A SMALL COMPANY

  Such network consists of a central computer, with a number of other computers, laser printers, and other machines, such as might be used in a modern office. Each computer that is linked to the network is referred to as a terminal or a workstation. The central computer is referred to as a network server. As each workstation has access to the files held on the hard disk system of the server, information held there can be obtained by any of the workstations, subject to the right password. Thus the accounts manager can obtain historical data about sales, for example, and use his workstation to produce his statistics.

  Wide area networks link offices in different parts of the country or of the world by special communication lines. Wide area networks link the same kinds of machine as local area networks, but you may find a facsimile machine at each end of the long-distance link. The facsimile machine can scan any document or photograph and transmit a copy of it to the machine at the other end of the link.

  It is possible to transmit information over the normal 'speech' telephone lines, using a device called a modem. The output of the computer is converted into an audible signal, and sent down the telephone lines. A modem at the other end translates the signal for the receiving computer. Because telephone lines are intended for speech, they are not ideal for data. The speed of transmission is only a fraction of what can be obtained using proper data lines, and the reliability is not as good. The advantage is its cheapness.
