Functional Information Systems
• Composed of smaller systems• Integrated or independent• Interfaces• Support all levels (operational, managerial,
strategic)
![Page 9: 1 Chapter 9 Transaction Processing, Functional Applications and Integration Information Technology for Management Improving Performance in the Digital](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ddc5503460f94ad3cf0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Transaction Processing Information Systems
Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 9-9
TPS monitors, collects, stores, processes, & disseminates information for all routine core business transactions.
Rapid Processing Processes transactions virtually instantly
Reliability Ensures transactions never slip past the net, & systems themselves are operational permanently
Standardization Acquires identical data for each transaction.
Controlled Access Access is restricted to only those employees who require their use.
Characteristics of Transaction Processing Systems:

TPS – Online Transaction Processing Systems
• With OLTP and Web technologies such as an extranet, suppliers can look at the firm’s inventory level or production schedule in real time. The suppliers themselves, in partnership with their customers, can then assume responsibility for inventory management and ordering.
• Interactive Internet TPS expands OLTP to provide enhanced real time transaction processing over the Internet or intranets. Multi-store chains can access a centralized computer system no longer requiring in-store processors.

Managing Production/Operations & Logistics
• A few of the IT supported POM areas are:
– In-house logistics and materials management
– Planning production/operations
– Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)
– Product lifecycle management (PLM)
– Automating design work and manufacturing
The production and operations management (POM) function in an organization is responsible for the processes that transform inputs into useful outputs. In comparison to the other functional areas, POM is very diversified as are the supporting TPS. It also differs considerably among organizations.

In-House Logistics & Materials Management
• Deals with ordering, purchasing, inbound logistics (receiving), & outbound logistics (shipping) activities.
• Purchasing results in incoming materials & parts.• Parts inspected for quality then stored.• Inventory management– Goal is to minimize costs of keeping inventory,
ordering and shortage.

e-Procurement
Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 9-22
E-procurement (electronic procurement, sometimes also known as supplier exchange) is the business-to-business or business-to-consumer or Business-to-government purchase and sale of supplies.
Information systems that support logistics & materials management:
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
Robots perform distribution & materials handling.

Quality Control Systems
• Can be standalone systems.• May be part of enterprise-wide total quality
management (TQM) effort.• Provide information about quality of incoming
materials & parts; quality of in-process semi-finished & finished products.
• May compare results to metrics such as Six Sigma.

• Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is software that facilitates the plan for purchasing or producing parts, subassemblies, or materials in the case of interdependent items. It integrates Master Production Schedules, BOM’s, and Inventory levels.
• Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) adds functionalities to a regular MRP system by determining the costs of parts and the associated cash flow. It also estimates costs of labor, tools, equipment repair, and energy while generating a requirements report.
• Just-in-Time Systems is an approach that attempts to minimize waste of all kinds (space, labor, materials, energy, etc.) and to continuously improve processes and systems. The JIT concept is used in mass customization and build-to-order environments.
• Project Management. A project is usually a one-time effort composed of many interrelated activities, costing a substantial amount of money, and lasting for weeks or years. Software tools such as: program evaluation and review technique (PERT) and the critical path method (CPM) are used to manage milestones, resources, costs, etc.
• Work Management Systems (WMS) automatically manages the prioritization and distribution of work. These systems deal with resource allocation and reallocation.
POM planning is a major component of operational systems

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing
• Typical integrated technologies are:
– FMS - Flexible-manufacturing systems
– JIT – Just-in-Time
– MRP – Materials Requirements Planning
– CAD – Computer Aided Design
– CAE – Computer Aided Engineering
– GT - Group technology
CIM is a concept that promotes the integration of various computerized factory systems. It has three basic goals: (1) the simplification of all
manufacturing technologies and techniques, (2) automation of as many of the manufacturing processes as possible, and (3) integration and
coordination of all aspects of design, manufacturing, and related functions via computer hardware and software.

Customer Relations It is essential for companies to know who their customers are and to
treat them properly. Innovative products and services, successful promotions, customization, and customer service are a necessity for
most organization.
• Customer Profiles and Preference Analysis. Sophisticated information systems are being developed to collect data on existing and potential customers, their demographics (age, gender, income level), and preferences.
• Prospective Customer Lists and Marketing Databases. All firms need to know and track who their existing and potential customers are. These prospective-customer lists can be analyzed and sorted by classification for direct mailing, e-mailing, or telemarketing.
• Mass Customization. Today’s customers prefer customized products. Through mass customization, the practice of maintaining WIP inventory, manufacturers can offer different product configurations at reasonable prices.
• Personalization. Special product offers are made, based on where the customer spent their time and on what they may have purchased.
• Advertising and Promotions. Special promotions or coupons are presented to the customer via mails, email, wireless and pervasive computing applications.

Marketing Management Many marketing management decision applications are supported by
computerized information systems.
• Pricing of Products or Services. Sales volumes are largely determined by the prices of products or services as is profit.
• Salesperson Productivity. Salespeople differ from each other in selling skill. Sales-force automation increases salesperson productivity by providing them with mobile devices, access to information, etc.
• Profitability Analysis profit contribution of certain products and services can be derived from cost-accounting systems
• Sales Analysis And Trends. Marketing. TPS collect sales figures that can be searched for trends and relationships.
• New Products, Services, and Market Planning. New products and services can be an expensive risk. “Will it sell?” Requires careful analysis, planning, forecasting, and market research.
• Web-Based Systems support marketing and sales through data capture
