DECISION STYLES – MIS BASED VIEWS
MIS HAS COMPONENTS ACROSS LAYERS OF ORGANIZATION
TPS AND ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
OF OPERATIONAL LAYER
Roles: This layer consists of employees who execute day-to-
day tasks, such as technicians, support staff, and frontline
workers.
Responsibilities: Their primary responsibilities involve
carrying out specific tasks, following procedures, and
ensuring daily operations run smoothly. They may also be
responsible for reporting progress, issues, and other
relevant information to their supervisors or managers.
TPS LAYER OF MIS
What it should look for?
• Transaction Processing System (TPS) needs-
• Transaction Owner
• Service Provider
• Transaction Processor (Rules/Logics)
• Transaction Monitor (Databases and Events)
• Transaction Logs
• Transaction Sessions (Cycles)
MRS AND TACTICAL LAYER
Roles: This layer includes middle management, team leaders,
and supervisors who oversee the operational staff.
Responsibilities: Tactical roles involve planning, organising,
and coordinating the activities of the operational layer to
meet short-term and medium-term goals. They are
responsible for allocating resources, monitoring performance,
problem-solving, and ensuring the operational layer meets
its targets. They also link the strategic and operational
layers, communicating goals, priorities, and feedback
between the two.
MANAGEMENT REPORTING SYSTEM
Does not look into details of Transactions
What is a Report?
Aims at serving Middle Management •Data / Information arranged
in a sequence or
Mostly looks at the Routine Reports received in a manner that
would provide inputs for
 Example: Trial Balance/Raw material utilization product wise/ employee decisions
attendance reports
 Stock holding costs product wise

Preparation of Information Matrix


Categories of Reports:
 Detailed Reports (Journal/ Day Book)
 Historical (Party wise account for last 15 days)
 Summary( Summary of payments made as on date party wise, Trial
Balance) MIS;CHAPTER-9,PRM-43
 Exception ( Outstanding advances employee wise)
 Prediction/Projections( project a balance sheet, P& L Account)
STRATEGIC LAYER AND ESS
Roles: The strategic layer consists of top-level
management, such as CEOs, board members, and
executive directors, who are responsible for setting the
organisation’s overall direction and long-term objectives.
Responsibilities: The primary responsibilities of the
strategic layer involve defining the organisation’s vision,
mission, and goals, developing long-term strategies and
policies, and making high-level decisions that shape the
organization's future. This layer also monitors the
organisation’s overall performance, evaluates the
effectiveness of strategies, and makes adjustments as
needed to ensure long-term success.
ESS: SMART PRINCIPLES
❑ Synergetic. Must be ergonomically and visually compelling for a user to synergise
information about different aspects within a single screen view.
❑ Monitor KPIs. Must display critical KPIs required for effective decision-making for
the domain to which a dashboard caters.
❑ Accurate. Information being presented must be accurate to gain user confidence in
the dashboard. The supporting dashboard data must have been well-tested and
validated.
❑ Responsive. Must respond to predefined thresholds by creating user alerts in
addition to the visual presentation on the dashboard (e.g., sound alarms, e-mails,
pagers, blinkers) to draw immediate user attention to critical matters.
❑ Timely. Must display the most current information possible for effective decision-
making. The information must be real-time and right-time.

ESS LAYER OF MIS
Traditionally, ESS supports strategic layer and thus
unstructured decisions
 It receives inputs from the tactical layer
 It desires external interfaces
 It supports business solutions through
 Scenario Building
 Alternate paths mapping

ESS has the following properties


 User Interfaces Component
 Database
 Menu-driven dashboard
 Model

SDLC- THE LIMITATIONS
Traditional SDLC methodology for current IT Projects are not
always appropriate:
Many systems projects fail to meet objectives
 Difficulty in estimating costs
 Each project is often so unique that previous experience may not provide
the necessary skills
 Objectives may be too broad or too narrow
 Opportunity may not be appropriately leveraged.
 There may not be enough time to comply each step of the SDLC
ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL (CONT.)

1. Enterprise: It manages HRMS details.


2. Below enterprise, we have ledgers. Ledgers hold accounting codes, charts of accounts, and
Currency. If you are operating with different currencies then multiple ledges are required.
Asset, Liability, equity, expense and revenue
3. Legal organisation: it is the next layer. The country and its law are included in the legal
organisation.
4. Business organization: this is the level at which you communicate with your suppliers,
customers, and other organizations. It is also known as the balance sheet level.
5. Final level is inventory management level. All business functions take place at inventory
organization level.
