In today's scenario MIS plays a pivotal role in Organizations. Organizations worldwide makes extensive use of MIS.Its desgined by the top management of an organization, is a tool to assembling & accumulating facts & figures of all the important business processes.
MIS is a very vast topic , its very difficult to cover the whole in one article. Thus here are some of the major importance / advantages of MIS in organizations:
  • The organization that uses MIS is able to record ,process, route & tabulate all important business transactions. As & when need arises the organization is able to incorporate the needed changes & improvements in the area of concern.
  • MIS facilitates informed DECISION MAKING.It usuallly represents a number of options from which one can choose the best.
  • The top management ANALYSES whether its resources are being utillized optimally.
  • A TWO WAY COMMUNICATION FLOW is greatly enhanced by the MIS. The management freelytells the jobv responsibilities to its employees.The employees in return discuss their doubts & grievances.
  • MIS supports the planning & controlling function of managers in the organization.Managers use past/historical data as well as the current data to analyse the performance & hence apply controlling measures.
  • MIS encourages DECENTRALISATION in the organisation.Decentralisationis possible when there's a system to measure operations at the lower levels.
  • It brings COORDINATION.It facilitates integration of specialized activities by keeping each department aware of the problems & requirements of other departments.

Hence, in some way MIS keeps the organization binded.

Inter-Organizational Value Chain

The value chain of   a company is part of over all value chain.

The analysis of overall supply chain is called the value system. Different parts of the value chain 1.  Supplier     2.  Firm       3.   Channel 4 .   Buyer

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
