  2. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise OBJECTIVES • Evaluate the role played by the major types of systems in a business and their relationship to each other • Describe the information systems supporting the major business functions: sales and marketing, manufacturing and production, finance and accounting, and human resources

  3. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise OBJECTIVES (continued) • Analyze the relationship between organizations, information systems, and business processes • Explain how enterprise applications promote business process integration and improve organizational performance • Assess the challenges posed by information systems in the enterprise and management solutions

  4. Challenge: monthly changes in fashions; Mango has 731 stores in 72 countries Solutions. Inventory replenishment system tracks all sales and matches stores with inventory. Design teams meet weekly to adjust to trends. Distribution system allocates bar-coded items to specific stores based on store/product mix. Reduces time to market, increases agility Increases accuracy of decision making Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise Mango Case: Fast Fashion, Hot Systems

  6. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise MAJOR TYPES OF SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS Different Kinds of Systems Three main categories of information systems serve different organizational levels: • Operational-level systems:support operational managers, keeping track of the elementary activities and transactions • Management-level systems:serve the monitoring, controlling, decision-making, and administrative activities • Strategic-level systems:help senior management tackle and address strategic issues

  7. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise MAJOR TYPES OF SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS Major Types of Systems • Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) • Management Information Systems (MIS) • Decision-Support Systems (DSS) • Executive Support Systems (ESS)

  20. Figure 2-9 Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise MAJOR TYPES OF SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS Relationship of Systems to One Another Interrelationships among systems

  21. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise MAJOR TYPES OF SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS Relationship of Systems to One Another In contemporary digital firms, the different types of systems are closely linked to one another. This is the ideal. In traditional firms these systems tend to be isolated from one another, and information does not flow seamlessly from one end of the organization to the other. Efficiency and business value tend to suffer greatly in these traditional firms

  22. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise SYSTEMS FROM A FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE Sales and Marketing Systems • Major functions of systems: • Sales management, market research, promotion, pricing, new products • Major application systems: • Sales order info system, market research system, pricing system

  24. Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise SYSTEMS FROM A FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE Manufacturing and Production Systems • Major functions of systems: • Scheduling, purchasing, shipping, receiving, engineering, operations • Major application systems: • Materials resource planning systems, purchase order control systems, engineering systems, quality control systems

  25. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL Machine control Control the actions of machines and equipment Operational Production planning Decide when and how many products should be produced Management Facilities location Decide where to locate new production facilities Strategic Management Information Systems Chapter 2 Information Systems in the Enterprise SYSTEMS FROM A FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE Manufacturing and Production Systems
