Assignment-2 on Business Information Systems and Analytics

The use of the information system in modern business is essential


for all organizations. Applying various methods and techniques
can improve business operational efficiency and help develop a
new system that can create a competitive advantage. We will look
at the world-famous McDonald's corporation's information
system and functional areas.

Previously, McDonald's focused its business functions on


competition and did not use technology tools. However, over time,
the development of systems related to TPS, MIS, and IT has led to
a change in the entire operational practice of the enterprise. To
increase the efficiency of sales, the company focuses on the use of
information systems. According to McDonald's CEO Chris
Kempczinski: "The more technology you use, the better your
operational efficiency.

McDonald's organizations use today's information systems such


as TPS, MIS and Executive Information Systems. Transaction
Processing Systems (TPS) are used when hamburgers are ordered
from suppliers. The system records the names, addresses, and
quantities ordered in its system. Recording all this information
helps inefficient inventory management and provides proof of
transactions that have taken place.

The impact of using MIS is related to the management of the


system. If the MIS application in the system is effective, its
marketing, financial, and production operations are
automatically improved. This shows that McDonald's has gained
its effectiveness through the application. MIS has made it easier
to track and monitor transactions. The system defines the
relationship between managers and staff. This collaboration is
used to achieve the goals that the organization has set for itself.

helpful. Using this system, when placing an order, the image
immediately appears on the monitors of the kitchen staff.

POS system: this system is also called a point system. McDonald's


is a busy restaurant, and it uses a POS system for that. With this
system, the data on the placed order is transmitted instantly. This
allows the cashier to evaluate the payments that he should receive.
Kitchen managers are also instantly aware of incoming orders.

Using the information system benefits McDonald's in many ways.


This enables them to improve business processes and operations.
Therefore, to gain a competitive advantage, enterprises must use
all resources and continue to innovate in systems to maintain
excessive competition from competitors.

1. Considering this overall picture of McDonalds and their


adoption of information systems, conduct a specific research on
any 3 of their information systems i.e TPS, MIS, DSS, EIS
amongst others.

2. Since it is inevitable for all of retail to incorporate AI and ML


as part of their information systems, suggest a plan for
McDonalds to automate specific business processes like ordering,
inventory management for eg to use data and information more
effectively and efficiently. You may utilise real time information
and insights from the Internet to supplement your answer
