What Is Executive Information

System?

Executive Information System (EIS) is a set of

management tools supporting the information
and decision-making needs of management by
combining information available within the
organisation with external information in an
analytical framework.
Management targeted EIS because needs to :
Quickly assess the status of a business
Understanding of critical business information to aid
decision making

Executive Information Systems come in two

distinct types:
Ones that are data driven
And model driven

CONTENT

System Modules
1. Hardware
Hardware for environment of EIS must meet the executive need`s

. The basic computer hardware needed for a

typical EIS is :

Input data-entry devices

The central processing unit (CPU),
Data storage files
Output devices

These systems require less support and less expensive

computer hardware. They also increase access of the EIS
information to many more users within a company

System Modules
2.

Software
Choosing the appropriate software is vital to design an
effective EIS

The basic sotfware needed for a typical EIS is :

Text base software

Database
Graphic base
Model base

System Modules
3. User Interface
An EIS needs to be efficient to retrieve relevant data for decision
makers, so the user interface is very important

Several types of interfaces can be available to the

EIS structure
scheduled reports
questions/answers
menu driven

-- command language
-- natural language
-- input/output

The interface must fit the decision makers decisionmaking style. If the executive is not comfortable with the
information questions/answers style, the EIS will not be
fully utilized

4. Telecommunication
telecommunications will play a pivotal role in networked
information systems

Transmitting data from one place to another has

become crucial for establishing a reliable
network.
Telecommunications within an EIS can accelerate
the need for access to distributed data.

Usage Of EIS
Executive Information Systems (EIS) are designed
to enhance the
Managerial roles of executives
Including other senior managers

The majority of prior EIS research has focused on

documenting the features, benefits, development
methodologies, and implementation of the
systems

Usage Of EIS
The research model is used to hypothesis
that EIS use (behavior) is determined by
EIS experience and ability to use EIS
(habits); subjective norms, roles, values
and social situations (social factors);
perceived usefulness of EIS
(consequences); user satisfaction with EIS
information, system, support, and plan
(affect); and EIS development processes,
management processes and organizational
environment (facilitating conditions).

ADVANTAGES OF EIS
Easy for upper-level executives to use, extensive computer experience is
not required in operations

Provides timely delivery of company summary information

Information that is provided is better understood

Filters data for management
Improves to tracking information
Offers efficiency to decision makers

Disadvantages Of EIS
System dependent
Limited functionality, by design
Information overload for some managers
Benefits hard to quantify
High implementation costs
System may become slow, large, and hard to manage
Need good internal processes for data management

May lead to less reliable and less secure data

Difficult to keep current data

Example Of EIS
Manufacturing

Basically, manufacturing is the

transformation of raw materials into
finished goods for sale, or intermediate
processes involving the production or
finishing of semi-manufactures. It is a
large branch of industry and of secondary
production. Manufacturing operational
control focuses on day-to-day operations,
and the central idea of this process is
effectiveness and efficiency

Example Of EIS
Marketing

In an organization, marketing executives role is to create

the future. Their main duty is managing available marketing
resources to create a more effective future
To assist marketing executives in making effective
marketing decisions, an EIS can be applied. EIS provides an
approach to sales forecasting, which can allow the market
executive to compare sales forecast with past sales
EIS software package enables marketing executives to
manipulate the data by looking for trends, performing
audits of the sales data, and calculating totals, averages,
changes, variances, or ratios

Example Of EIS

STUDY CASE OF
EXECUTIVE
INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Situation: Gold Rush Corporation relies
heavily on its sales trends to predict future
demand for the high quality gold watches
that it manufactures and sells to jewelry
and watch stores around the country. In
the past the sales information has been
passed on to production managers,
sometimes up to month after large orders
for popular watch styles have been
ordered.

STUDY CASE OF
EXECUTIVE
INFORMATION SYSTEM

Problem: The production managers

are grateful for the information they
do receive from the sales department
because they base most of their
production estimates on these
numbers. However, the production
managers could avoid costly
production overruns as well as
shortages in product if they had the
information readily available to them

STUDY CASE OF
EXECUTIVE
INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Solution: Gold Rush Corporation decides to
implement an executive information system
available to all of its senior level managers,
including the production managers, that
possesses information regarding real time sales
and orders of Gold Rushs products. Thanks to this
new system production managers are able to
more accurately estimate the inventory levels
they must realize in order to achieve demand. As
an added benefit, production managers have
decided that the executive information system
provides them with such valuable and accurate
real time information that they hope to move to a
just in time inventory model to cut down on

OTHER SUPPORT
MATERIAL OF EIS
There a many support material have been
developed to support the EIS, some of support
material of EIS have been used several times so
that EIS can be compatible with they organization
system,example :
1 ) Executive Support System (ESS)
Comprehensive support system that goes
beyond EIS to include
Communications
Office automation
Analysis support
Intelligence

OTHER SUPPORT
MATERIAL OF EIS
2 ) Enterprise Information System

Corporate-wide system
Provides holistic information
From a corporate view
Part of enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems
For business intelligence
Leading up to enterprise information portals
and knowledge management systems

CONCLUSION

Conclusion
Executive Information Systems meet
the needs of corporate executives by
providing them with vast amounts of
information quickly and in graphical
form to help them make effective
decisions. EIS must be flexible, easy
to use, and contain both internal and
external sources of information
