MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION
 SYSTEM (MIS)
• Definition: MIS can be defined as "A system
  of obtaining, abstracting, storing and
  analysing data to produce effective
  information for use in planning, controlling
  and decision making process". The man
  machine combination helps to solve complex
  business and industrial problems and that
  too quickly
                   Need of MIS:
• 1. Internal factors: (i) Resources. (ii) Planning
  and control information. (iii) Operational
  information. (iv) Production function. (v)
  Marketing function.
• 2. External Information factors: (i) Political
  and Government. (ii) Economic condition. (iii)
  Technology
Implementation of MIS:
1. Input data. 2. Information stored and
retrieval.
3. Analysis. 4. Output.
5. Decision making. 6. Action
            PRODUCTIVITY:
• Definition: Productivity is a measure of
  how much input required producing a
  given output i.e. the ratio between
  output and input is called productivity.
• FACTORS AFFECTING PRODUCTIVITY:
• 1. Technology. 2. Human resources.
• 3. Government policy. 4. Machinery and
  Equipment.
• 5. Skill of the workers. 6. Capital.
• 7. Research and Development. 8. Trade unions.
• 9. Materials. 10. Plant, equipment.
• 11. Land and Buildings. 12. The size of the plant
                   Role of Productivity:
•   a) For management:
•   1. To get high profit; 2. To improve the resources;
    3. To increase the sales.
•   b) For workers:
•   1. Job satisfaction and Job security; 2. Promotion;
    3. Higher salary;
•   4. Better working conditions.
•   c) For customers:
•   1. To get quality product; 2. Reduced prices; 3.
    Easily available
PRODUCT ANALYSIS
• Operation Research: Operation research is a
  product of World War II.
• Definition: "Operation research is an
  experimental and applied science developed
  for observing understanding the purposeful
  man-machine systems and operations
  research workers are actively engaged in
  applying this knowledge to practical
  problems in business government and
  society". Operation Research society of
  America
Necessity of Operation Research:
• (i) Uncertainty.
• (ii) Responsibility and authority.
• (iii) OR Models.
• (iv) Complex Organizations.
• (v) Optimization of resources.
• (vi) Minimizing time. Example: PERT,
  Transportation method, Queuing theory
• (vii) Maximizing profit. Example: PERT method,
  Queuing, Decision-tree etc.
• (viii) Minimizing cost. Linear Programming, EOQ
  concept.
 INVENTORY CONTROL (or) PURCHASING
   CONTROL:
• Inventory is the quantity of goods and other
   stocks held for a specific time period in an
   unproductive state, awaiting use or sales.
• Effective Inventory Control System:
• It should provide a proper check against
  losses.
• Inventories should be classified clearly. Each
  item should be given a separate code for quick
  identification.
• Separate storerooms must be equipped with
  all facilities.
• Experienced and qualified persons should be
  appointed in the purchase and other related
  departments.
ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY:
• It is a basic fixed order quantity model such
  that the total inventory cost (Inventory
  carrying cost + ordering cost) is low. This
  quantity is known as Economic Order quantity.
• Determination of Economic Order Quantity
  (EOQ):
• EOQ= root of (2DS/C)
    D - Demand per year; S - Ordering cost;
    C - Annual carrying cost of one unit.
• JUST IN TIME INVENTORY (JIT) SYSTEM:
• In this method, the suppliers deliver the
  materials to the production spot just in time
  to be assembled.
• This method reduces the cost of inventory
                      JIT
• Essential requirements for the success:
• 1. Required trained and skilled workers.
• 2. To reduce batch size.
• 3. Smooth relationship with suppliers.
• 4. Suppliers should be located near the'
  company.
• 5. Effective maintenance of machineries
