    The document discusses developing a management information system (MIS) plan. It explains that an MIS plan should be flexible and adapt to changing times and technologies. The plan contains major elements like business plans, development strategies, and schedules. It also determines information requirements through methods like interviewing and analyzing critical success factors. The plan then implements systems using approaches like prototyping or a lifecycle model. Quality of information is ensured by controlling inputs, authorization schemes, and backups. Finally, the document addresses issues like whether to centralize or decentralize the MIS function within an organization.

    DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

    To achieve success it is necessary to make plan first. Constructing MIS plan take
    information as a resource. Use proper data entry methods and plan can be made from
    proper resources of organizations. In short MIS plan is flexible enough to deal with
    changing according to time, Situation and adopt latest technology. MIS plan can contain
    following major elements

    Deal with business plan


    Strategy for plan achievement
    The architecture of mix
    The system development schedule
    Hardware versus software

    A long range MIS plan provides direction for the development of the systems. It provides
    basis for achieving the specific targets or tasks against a time frame. Plan is strictly
    related with goals and objectives of the MIS which are as under given below

    Provides an online information of everything


    Quick process of query
    The focus of system will be on end user
    Information support system will contain strategic, tactical and operational area of
    business.

    MIS Plan vs. Business plan

    Strategy for plan achievement


    The designer has to take number of strategic decisions to achieve goal and objective of
    organization. The strategies are:

    Development strategy: An online, a batch, a real time. Technology platform


    System development strategy: Any approach to the system development- operational
    versus functional, Accounting versus analysis, database versus multiple databases
    Resources for system development: In house versus external, customized development
    versus the use of packages.
    Manpower composition: Analyst, programmer skill and know-how

    THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIS


    The architecture of the MIS plan provides a system structure and their input, output and
    linkages. It also provides a way to handle the system or subsystems by way of simplification,
    coupling and decoupling of subsystems. It spells out in detail the subsystems from the data
    entry to processing, analyst to modeling and storage to printing.
    A schedule is made for the development of the system. Preparing information schedule is the
    first importance and it is important to judge the system requirement. The development
    schedule is changed according to be weighted against the time scale for achieving certain
    requirement which is linked with business plan. Schedule can be revised according to
    performance of business
    Feasibility studies can effect on the planning of MIS. The hardware and software which is
    selected for MIS plan should be technically sound and up to date. Selection of proper
    hardware and software should be part of strategic level decisions. Proper selection of
    hardware and software should link with goals and objectives of organizations.
    A Model of the MIS plan Contents Particulars Focus Corporate Information Business
    environment Where are we? and current operations mission, Goal and Current mission, goal
    and Where do we want to objectives reach? The following which come in our mind while
    planning:

    Where are we?


    What is risk?
    How do we achieve status goals?
    What is key information?
    What are tools of achievement?
    When it will achieve?
    What are the benefits?

    Determining the information requirement


    The difficulty to determine correct and complete sets of information is on account of the factor
    given below:

    The capability constraint of human being as an information processor


    The nature and the variety of information in prcised terms
    Reluctance of decision maker to spell out the information
    The ability of the decision makers to specify information

    There are 4 methods of determining information requirements

    Asking or interviewing
    Determining from existing system
    Analyzing the critical success factors
    Experimentation and modeling

    Development and implementation of MIS


    The plan consists of various system and subsystems. The choice of the subsystem depends on its
    positions in the total MIS plan. The designer first develops systems independently and start
    integrated them with other systems. Basically 2 approaches affected on MIS:
    1. Prototype approach
    2. Life cycle approach
    Prototype approach: It is useful for complex system. Prototyping is a process of progressively
    ascertaining the information needs, developing methodology, trying it out on a smaller scale with
    respect to the data and the complexity. Designers task is complex and full of difficult in this
    approach. Multiple user can involve in this approach.

    Fig.____ Development process model of prototype approach

    Life Cycle Approach: It is useful when there is periodic review of system takes place. It is
    useful in modification of system required after particular time period. It provides system stability
    with regular evaluation. This approach is based on rules and regulation on which system follows
    and it can not allow significant change in system. It is used in closed system where outcome of
    system is already decided before implementation of system.

    Implementation of MIS
    There are certain guidelines to user about proper implementation of system in organization
    which are as given below:

    No question beyond limit the information need to user


    Dont forget his role is to offer service not demand
    Give priority to user not designer.
    Dont mix technical need with information need
    Impress upon user global nature in system design with provide attractiveness in system
    design
    Dont challenge application of information in decision making.
    Maintain quality of information in system
    Provide information as corporate resource and contribute you as a user.
    Take regular feedback of user with proper interaction with user.

    While implementation, ensure that the overall system effort has management acceptance and
    enlist users participation time to time. You must realize user that through serving, they are true
    guide of system. You must identify the role of user in system and conduct periodic meeting with

    user time to time. Provide proper training to user with proper guidelines about usage of system
    when required.
    Information quality in the MIS: The quality of parameters is assured if following steps are
    taken:

    All the input is processed and controlled


    When all updating and correction are completed, the data processing begins
    Inputs are subjected with validity checks
    Access of data file is protected and secured through authorization scheme
    Ensure that complete data is processed in one transaction
    Due attention is given to the proper file name
    Back up of data and files are taken safeguard corruption or loss of data
    Time to time audit constructed
    Modification of system is necessary
    System are developed within standard specification of design and development
    Information system is controlled threw program and provide particular access control
    MIS model will provide consistency into business plan so that information needs to
    achieve its goals.

    There are some major issues involved in interaction of MIS with organization i.e whether the
    MIS function should be handled as centralized or decentralized activity, the allocation of the
    hardware and software resources and maintenance of the MIS service levels at an appropriate
    level. At last, fitting of the organization of the MIS in the corporate organization, its culture
    and the management philosophy is done. The question of centralization versus
    decentralization depends on information resource management in the organization. In a
    centralized set, the responsibility of acquisition of the data, of the information to the users
    becomes the centralized function. In a decentralized, set of responsibility information is at
    second level so priority is given to the requirement and other things.
