ANSWER:- MIS is the use of information technology, people, and business processes to

record, store and process data to produce information that decision makers can use to make day
to day decisions. The full form of MIS is Management Information Systems. The purpose of
MIS is to extract data from varied sources and derive insights that drive business growth.

Following are various activities which should cover in school of management studies new management information
system (MIS) :-
1. Every student have their user id on the website of the sms department. That help them to easily connect with
the department and that also useful for CC students.
2. There should be proper online fees structure, which help students to pay each type of fees easily like :-
admission fees , exam fees , hostel fees or any event participation fees.
3. Students attendance is also upload online which student can see from their account. Students can also able
to apply leave online .
4. Faculty management is there in which teachers time schedule is provided and if any teacher is on leave then
students get notification from department.

a. System Planning of the proposed MIS


Ans:-
For the planning of proposed MIS , we divided this planning into following part which are as follows:-
1. Information requirements Analysis
2. Resource Allocation
3. Project planning
1. Information Requirement Analysis
This part deals with current and future needs for information system. In this important information which are require
for this system are collected like :- details of students , staff Members, inventory records etc. so, here every
important information is collected from the different sources.
2. Resource Allocation
After identification of the need for information system applications for entire organisation, the next phase is
allocation of resources. In this various resource are allocater which help to implement the information system. Most
important is server , because without the server SMS department can’t save there data and for data security it is
essential.
3.Project Planning
After done all the three steps new design of MIS is formed , because the necessary information , resources and
structure we are now able to design MIS for SMS department. Before implementation these are check correctly in
beta version.

b. Which Development Model you would recommend and Why


ANS :- I recommend waterfall development model because this model run step by step and it is
not so complex. WATERFALL MODEL is a sequential model that divides software
development into pre-defined phases. Each phase must be completed before the next phase can
begin with no overlap between the phases. Each phase is designed for performing specific
activity during the SDLC phase. It was introduced in 1970 by Winston Royce.
I choose this model because of following reasons:-
 The waterfall model progresses through easily understandable and explainable phases and thus it is
easy to use. 
 It is easy to manage due to the rigidity of the model – each phase has specific deliverables and a
review process.
 In this model, phases are processed and completed one at a time and they do not overlap. The
waterfall model works well for smaller projects where requirements are very well understood.

c. Cover various aspects of System Analysis


ANS:- System analyses involve following aspects which are as follows :-
1. Organization:
It implies structure and order. It is the arrangement of components that helps to achieve objectives.
2. Interaction:
It refers to the manner in which each component functions with other components of the system.
3. Interdependence:
It means that parts of the organization or computer system depend on one another. They are
coordinated and linked together according to a plan. One subsystem depends on the output of
another subsystem for proper functioning.
4. Integration: It refers to the holism of systems. It is concerned with how a system is tied together.
5. Central Objective:
A system should have a central objective. Objectives may be real or stated. Although a stated
objective may be the real objective, it is not uncommon for an organization to state one objective
and operate to achieve another. The important point is that users must know the central objective of
a computer application early in the analysis for a successful design and conversion.

d. How you would go for implementation of the proposed information system


Ans:- For implementation important rules are followed. We divided implementation into four
parts. There are four key stages in the acquisition and implementation of MIS:
1. Specification
2. Selection
3. Acquisition and
4. Implementation

Specification
Most MIS are modular and are built around a core of traditional accounting modules such as sales
ledger, purchases ledger, nominal (general) ledger etc. Businesses then need to consider the extra
modules needed for their specific businesses such as Job Costing, Routing and Capacity Planning,
HR Systems, Reporting etc. Payroll is normally a separate module.
The solution is to start with very detailed checklists of requirements and add to those lists the
specific features you need. When all the features have been listed in detail you issue Invitations To
Tender (ITTs) based on your specific requirements. The completion of detailed system
specifications is time-consuming and is best left to someone with detailed knowledge of the
features that the MIS should contain.
Selection
When you have arrived at a shortlist of potential suppliers you should ask for references. It is best
to visit the reference sites alone or talk to the references face-to-face, without the suppliers in
attendance. The next step is to do detailed testing. Sit down at the computer with the supplier’s
staff and work through the specification, so that they can show you the key features you need
actually working in their systems.

Acquisition
The chosen supplier will probably have a standard purchase order or contract. Read it carefully
and modify it to suit your needs.
If your current processes are non-standard or you envisage implementing new processes, the costs
of modifications can increase alarmingly. Agree a discounted per day rate before you buy the
system. Better still, agree an arrangement with the supplier whereby you specify new features and
help the supplier test and debug them after development, at little or no financial cost to you.
(Though there is a hidden cost in management time.)

Implementation
Finally remember the human aspects. Many people dislike change and their reactions to it range
from fear to outright sabotage. You need to “Manage the Change”. You need to keep staff
informed of the changes to come and explain the benefits to them of the changes. You need to win
their support. If redundancies are likely to follow the implementation this must be addressed
openly and fairly at an early date.
