  8. An organization can achieve operational excellence if they are clear not only about their objectives but also when an organzation applying information system into organization. An information system is also a system but differs from other kinds of systems because its objective is to monitor and document the operations of other systems, which we can call target systems. An information system owes its existence to the target system. For example, production activities would be the target system for a production scheduling information system, human resources would be the target system of a human resource information system, and so on. We could say that every reactive system may have a subsystem that can be considered as an information system whose objective is to monitor and control such a system. The main functions of an information system may be input, processing, output, storage and control at work place. That is information system.Thank You \M/

  11. Information systems can help organizations to achieve operational excellence with increase profits, Deliver legal services efficiently and effectively , Increase staff productivity and improve employee satisfaction with their day-to-day jobs.

    Increase profits, increase revenue and decrease costs. In fact, the remainder of the business objectives all support this über-objective of increasing profits.
    Information system can help to increase revenue by implementing systems and processes that more accurately capture time or allow staff to bill more. It can help decrease costs by streamlining the delivery and support of services, streamlining the services offered, and ensuring projects and purchases are truly in support of the firm’s overall goals so that it can contribute to operational excellence.

    Deliver legal services efficiently and effectively, To provide legal services attorneys must bring together vast amounts of information. They rely on knowledge management tools such as portals, document management systems, and search engines. The Information System approach explicitly supports the delivery of such services in an efficient and effective manner. “Effective operation” is code for providing the right services at the right time. “Efficient operation” is directly linked to providing those services cost competitively.

    Increase staff productivity, we will achieve more efficient and effective levels of productivity by implementing technologies that enable collaboration, bridging geographic boundaries for example video conferencing, unified messaging, mobility devices, instant messaging, presence management. IT will be building and delivering those services that truly aid in the business’ ability to deliver external service or product. Operationally, IT will know what services are most important to the business and will be able to effectively prioritize and provide support that meets the business’ stated requirements.

    improve employee satisfaction with their day-to-day jobs, Information System helps decrease costs (by not having to hire and train new staff) and improves employee morale. Many factors contribute to job satisfaction, and when staff can not access the systems they need when they need them, frustration prevails. IT’s emphasis on sound engineering and supporting processes can help an organization deliver the right services at the right time to the right people, thus enhancing user/employee satisfaction on a day-to-day basis. Not only will there be less unexpected service disruption, but communication channels will be improved and staff will have insight in to what is changing, what to expect, and how to request and communicate their needs.

  16. In any business organization, data is the most important thing. Different type of information is produced from data. When the amount of data is large, it becomes more difficult to process this data manually. In order to get quick results and timely information, an Information System is used in almost all organizations.

    As businesses grow, the amount of data also increases. As a result, it becomes more difficult to process this data manually. With the use of Information System, data can be processed with rapid speed and information is generated quickly. To run a business successfully, effective and timely decision-making is very important. This decision-making is based on the information we get from the stored data.

    An Information System provides the required information in a complete and comprehensive way. It helps in taking effective decisions about the business. In such a system, the information can be sent to many people is less time.

    The following are benefits of information systems:
    1. central access
    2. easy backup
    3. central distribution of information
    4. easy record-keeping
    5. easy tax preparation
    6. easy customer trait identification

    An Example : Take for example a bottling line that has the capability of filling 10,000 bottles a day, but like the majority of packaging lines actually achieves about 50% of its potential on average. The production manager wants to see the throughput data and the reasons why the machine is falling short. The operators on the other hand need to see alert messages as why the machine has just stopped and what action to take to fix it. The cause may be a specific mechanical failure such as a jam up, lack of product or one of many things. The production manager will be interested to discover that the mechanical failures only amounted to 8% stoppage time and another 5% due to lack of product. He will also notice that the main reason the line did not perform is because nobody pressed the start button when the machine was ready to run!

    This example shows that Information systems can be powerful tools for business. The key is having current data converted to useful information and having that delivered to people who can act upon it before it’s too late. If the information is delivered too slowly then it is only a lesson learned rather than profitable opportunity Source.

  44. Question 1
    By using information system to lower the operational costs, we can lower ours prices. This will make it difficult for traditional competitor and new market entrants to match our prices. This strategy work best with commodities such as computers or with household product retailers such as Wal-Mart. The efficient customers response systems provide a company and its suppliers with an integrated view of customers. These systems provide instantaneous information to the company and its supplies. A firm can gather very specific information about its customers using data mining techniques. It create a focused differentiation business strategy to market directly to those customers by addressing the needs and wants of a very small market segment. By supply chain management (SCM) system, a company can increase supplier intimacy,SCM systems create immense switching costs between a company and its suppliers because of the investment of hardware and software necessary to make the system successful while customer relationship management (CRM) system can increase customer intimacy,CRM system allow companies to learn details about customers that give them the competitive advantage over traditional competitors and new market entrants.

  57. By using information system to lower the operational costs, we can lower ours prices. This will make it difficult for traditional competitor and new market entrants to match our prices. This strategy work best with commodities such as computers or with household product retailers such as Wal-Mart. The efficient customers response systems provide a company and its suppliers with an integrated view of customers. These systems provide instantaneous information to the company and its supplies. A firm can gather very specific information about its customers using data mining techniques. It create a focused differentiation business strategy to market directly to those customers by addressing the needs and wants of a very small market segment. By supply chain management (SCM) system, a company can increase supplier intimacy,SCM systems create immense switching costs between a company and its suppliers because of the investment of hardware and software necessary to make the system successful while customer relationship management (CRM) system can increase customer intimacy,CRM system allow companies to learn details about customers that give them the competitive advantage over traditional competitors and new market entrants.

  59. The organization can achieve operational excellence if they are clear not only about their objectives but also about the methods or tactics employed to realize those objectives. At first the enterprise or organization needs to visualize the kind of business entity that it wants to be in the future and then strategize a course of action to make that vision a reality. Secondly, the enterprise needs to assess its present state, which includes its work processes, capabilities of its workforce, management systems and so on. Thirdly improve work efficiency through coordination and cooperation. The entire enterprise and organization should function as a team and work towards making the transition smooth and successful.

  65. An information system is any combination of information technology and people's activities that support operations, management, and decision making. In a very broad sense, the term information system is frequently used to refer to the interaction between people, processes, data, and technology. In this sense, the term is used to refer not only to the information and communication technology (ICT) an organization uses, but also to the way in which people interact with this technology in support of business processes.

    Operation excellence will achieve more efficient and effective levels of productivity by implementing technologies that enable collaboration, bridging geographic boundaries example through uses of video conferencing, unified messaging, mobility devices, instant messaging, presence management. Information system uses of IT will be building and delivering those services that truly aid in the business’ ability to deliver external service or product. Operationally, IT will know what services are most important to the business and will be able to effectively prioritize and provide support that meets the business’ stated requirements.

    That can also Improve employee satisfaction with their day-to-day jobs. Retaining the investment you have in your employees helps decrease costs (by not having to hire and train new staff) and improves employee morale. Many factors contribute to job satisfaction, and when staff can not access the systems they need when they need them, frustration prevails

  66. According to Dennis Shasha et all(2012), information system(IS) is about software and hardware application that have inter related between this two. IS is very important to support people activities like operations, management, and decision making in particular organization. In the process of achieving operational excellence, IS helps by increasing the efficiency of the operational process. This efficiency may come from the reduction of cost as well as the improvement of production. It is because by having IS in operational area, it can improve what had been done manually. Apart from that, it also can perform what the manual process cannot perform.

    Besides, operational excellence may also be achieved through IS since it can reduce duplication of work. It is because by using IS any operational process may be recorded and if duplication of work occurred it can be easily detected thus reduce the problem in operational process. It will then lead to operational excellence.
