PRESENTATION ON INFORMATION SYSTEM

PRESENTED BY : AMAR JEET

Information Systems
Why Do People Need Information?
Individuals - Entertainment and enlightenment Businesses - Decision making, problem solving and control

MIS 715 Eaton Fall 2001

Information Systems (IS) is a professional and academic discipline concerned with the strategic, managerial and operational activities involved in the gathering, processing, storing, distributing and use of information, and its associated technologies, in society and organizations.

Information
Processed data, presented in a form which assists decision-makers May contain an element of surprise, reduce uncertainty May provoke a manager to initiate action

Information and Systems

Generating Information
Computer-based ISs take data as raw material, process it, and produce information as output.

Systems
What Is a System?
System: A set of components that work together to achieve a common goal
Subsystem: One part of a system where the products of more than one system are combined to reach an ultimate goal Closed system: Stand-alone system that has no contact with other systems Open system: System that interfaces with other systems

TYEPS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM

TPS(Transaction processing system) DSS(Decision support system) MIS(Management information system) ESS(Executive support system) KWS(Knowledge work system)

 Transaction Processing System

Substitutes computer-based processing for manual procedures.
Deals with well-structured processes. Includes record keeping applications.

Transaction Processing Systems (TPS)

Computerized system that performs and records the daily routine transactions necessary to conduct the business; these systems serve the operational level of the organization

TYPE: Operational-level INPUTS: transactions, events PROCESSING: updating OUTPUTS: detailed reports USERS: operations personnel, supervisors DECISION-MAKING: highly structured
10

EXAMPLE: payroll, accounts payable

Decision support system

Provides information to managers who must make judgments about particular situations. Supports decision-makers in situations that are not well structured.

Decision Support Systems (DSS)

Information system at the management level of an organization that combines data and sophisticated analytical models or data analysis tools to support semi-structured and unstructured decision making. TYPE: Management-level INPUTS: low volume data PROCESSING: simulations, analysis OUTPUTS: decision analysis USERS: professionals, staff managers DECISION-MAKING: semi-structured EXAMPLE: sales region analysis
12

Decision Support Systems

Used for unstructured problems Characteristics
Data from multiple sources internal and external to organization Presentation flexibility Simulation and what-if capability Support for multiple decision approaches Statistical analysis
MIS 175 Spring 2002 Chapter 10 13

 Management information system

Provides input to be used in the managerial decision process. Deals with supporting well structured decision situations. Typical information requirements can be anticipated.

Management Information Systems (MIS)

Information system at the management level of an organization that serves the functions of planning, controlling, and decision making by providing routine summary and exception reports.
TYPE: Management-level INPUTS: high volume data PROCESSING: simple models OUTPUTS: summary reports USERS: middle managers DECISION-MAKING: structured to semi-structured

EXAMPLE: annual budgeting

Functional Perspectives of MIS

Manufacturing Design and Engineering Master Production Scheduling Inventory Control Materials Planning Manufacturing and Process Control Quality Control
MIS 175 Spring 2002 Chapter 10 16

Executive Support Systems (ESS)

Information system at the strategic level of an organization that address unstructured decision making through advanced graphics and communications. TYPE: Strategic level INPUTS: aggregate data; internal and external PROCESSING: interactive OUTPUTS: projections USERS: senior managers DECISION-MAKING: highly unstructured EXAMPLE: 5 year operating plan
17

Knowledge Work Systems (KWS)

Information system that aids knowledge workers in the creation and integration of new knowledge in the organization.
TYPE: Knowledge-level INPUTS: design specifications PROCESSING: modelling OUTPUTS: designs, graphics USERS: technical staff; professionals

EXAMPLE: Engineering workstations
