MIS AND DECISION MAKING CONCEPTS It is necessary to understand the concepts of decision making as they are relevant to thedesign of the MIS. The Simon Model provides a conceptual design of the MIS and decision making, wherein the designer has to design the system in such a way that the problem is identified in precise terms. That means the data gathered for data analysis should be such that it provides diagnostics and also provides a path to bring the problem to surface. In the design phase of the model, the designer is to ensure that the system provides models for decision making. These models should provide for the generation of decision alternatives, test them and pave way for the selection of one of them. In a choice phase, the designer must help to select the criteria to select one alternative amongst the many. The concept of programmed decision making is the finest tool available to the MIS designer, whereby he can transfer decision making f...

10 SPECIFIC FACTORS CONSIDERED IN FORMS DESIGN

After all the following factors have been considered, the form should be attractive and easy to read. Most forms should have a title. Forms should have an identification number with the date of issuance. Group information into related areas on the form. Use a box design with captions printed in small , distinct type in the upper left hand corner of the boxes. Arrange the items in that there is a logical flow from left to right , from top to bottom in filling out the form. The use of box items is to be checked or coded improves the readability of the design. Provides sufficient space for entering data and do not bleed lines off the sides of the forms. Consider colored ink for captions to make variable data stand out. "Boiler plate" or standard contract information is often on the back of the forms such as purchase orders. Routing instruction for each copy may be indicated by using a different color paper for each copy and printing routing instructions on the margin. ...

OBJECTIVES OF DBMS

Shareability : An ability to share data resources is a fundamental objective of database management. In its fullest interpretation, this means different people and different processes using the same actual data at virtually the same time. Rather far reaching ramifications stem from the stated objective of shareability: - Serving differently types of users with varying skill levels - Handling different user views of the same stored data. - Combining interrelated data - Setting standards - Controlling concurrent updates so as to maintain data integrity - Coordinating restart and recovery operations across multiple users.This list indicates some of the additional problems which arise in managing shared data. A central implication of sharing is that compromise will often be required between conflicting user needs as, for example, in the establishment of a data structure and corresponding storage structure. Availability : Availability means bringing the data of an organization to the ...

It should simultaneously build the knowledge base in the organization by processing the data obtained from different sources in different ways. The designer of the MIS should take care of the data problems knowing that it may contain bias and error by introduction of high level validations, checking and controlling the procedures in the manual and computerized systems. While designing the MIS, due regard should be given to the communication theory of transmitting the information the data obtained from different sources in different ways.

NEED FOR SYSTEM ANALYSIS

When you asked to computerise a system, as a requirement of the data processing or the information need, it is necessary to analyze the system from different angles. While satisfying such need, the analysis of the system is the basic necessity for an efficient system design. The need for analysis stems from the following point of view. System Objective : It is necessary to define the system objective(s). Many a times, it is observed that the systems are historically in operation and have lost their main purpose of achievement of the objectives. The users of the system and the personnel involved are not in a position to define the objective(s). Since you are going to develop a computer based system, it is necessary to redefine or reset the objective(s) as a reference point in the context of the current business requirement. System Boundaries : It is necessary to establish the system boundaries which would define the scope and the coverage of the system. This helps to sort ...
