 INTRODUCTION
• Manufacturing Information Systems are powerful software platforms capable of
tracking the progress of raw materials into finished goods.
• An integrated MIS enables the control of multiple variables—from inputs to support
services, to machines, and personnel—in real time so that management both on the
ground and in head offices can optimize production and eliminate inefficiencies.
• A management information system provides the information that managers need to
get a feel for how their business is performing
• A management information system designed specifically for use in a manufacturing
environment. The role of manufacturing information systems is to support
manufacturing operations by providing relevant and timely information for decision
making at different levels of the company hierarchy.
• Systems that deal with the planning, development, and production of products and
services, and with controlling the flow of production.
 BENEFITS OF MIS
• Helps to achieve a higher level of efficiency: Managers have the information needed to identify a
company's strengths and weaknesses.
• Improves the quality of decisions: Better availability of information reduces uncertainty and lets
managers make more rational decisions based on reliable data.
• Promotes better communications between departments in a workplace: When managers,
department heads and employees are sharing the same information, there is better
communication between them to identify problem areas and find mutually agreeable solutions.
• Provides a platform to explore different scenarios for various alternatives and economic
environments: Management is able to explore various alternatives to see the possible results
before making decisions and commitments.
• Improves employee productivity: Employees are more productive because they don't have to
spend time gathering the data that management wants. A well-designed MIS will gather all the data
without any more input from employees.
DISADVANTAGES OF MIS
• Highly sensitive requires constant monitoring.
• Budgeting of MIS extremely difficult.
• Quality of outputs governed by quality of inputs.
• Lack of flexibility to update it.
• Effectiveness decreases due to frequent changes in top management
• Takes into account only qualitative factors and ignores non-qualitative factors
like morale of worker, attitude of worker etc...
 FRAMEWORK OF MANUFACTURING
IN INFORMATION SYSTEM
• THIS FRAMEWORK IS APPLIED TO MANY LEVELS OF THE MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY. THE ENVIRONMENT REFERS EXTERNAL FACTORS SUCH AS THE
LEVEL OF COMPETITION, TECHNICAL INNOVATION, LABOR MARKET
TIGHTNESS AND CONTINUITY OF INVESTMENT WHICH CAN BE AFFECTED ON
MANAGERS AND TECHNICAL STAFF IN THE SELECTION OF THE
TECHNOLOGY.
Transactional Processing System (TPS)
•These systems are used to collect, store, modifies and retrieves data transactions of
manufacturing industry.

• The success of industry depends on the reliable processing of transactions to ensure that
customer orders are met on time, and that partners and suppliers are paid and can make payment.

Executive Support System

•These systems help senior managers to make strategic decision by providing analyzed and
summarized internal and external information of the industry.

•ESS typically involves lots of data analysis and modeling tools such as “what-if” analysis to help
strategic decision-making.
Material Resource Planning (MRP)
• This is an integrated information system used by businesses. Manufacturing Resource
Planning (MRP II) evolved from early Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) systems by
including the integration of additional data, such as employee and financial needs.
• The system is designed to centralize, integrate and process information for effective decision
making in scheduling, design engineering, inventory management and cost control in
manufacturing.
Enterprise Resource Planning System
• ERP system refers a particular set of technologies which seep into the whole industry and
outline the way business works at many levels. ERP are setting up majority of manufacturing
operations.
• These systems consist of functions such as accounting, customer order fulfillment,
manufacturing, materials management, human resources and financial systems and offer close
integration among these functions. By using ERP systems industry can increase quality and
efficiency, decrease costs, get decision support and get enterprise agility.
 HOW IS A MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
SYSTEM USEFUL IN COMPANIES?
• A management information system is a computerized database that
collates, summarizes and analyzes any type of information that is useful to a
company’s managers.
• The signature use of MIS is to monitor the company’s performance in real
time; individual managers can also use the information to gain insight into
their own department’s activities.
• The MIS may be programmed to automatically produce reports at monthly,
quarterly or other specified intervals, and may also be accessed to produce
special reports when needed.
 MIS FOR SALES AND MARKETING
• Management information systems for the sales and
marketing departments of a company, compile and analyze
information about customers and prospective customers.
• Often, the information is scanned or sourced from customer
receipts, loyalty card transactions or credit card receipts.
• The information can be aggregated to highlight buying
trends and patterns, identify repeat and top-purchasing
customers, and target product marketing efforts to address
relevant segments of the customer base.
• Gaining these types of insights can help the company
develop and fine-tune its marketing strategy, resulting in
lowered costs and increased sales department
effectiveness.
 MIS FOR HUMAN RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT
• Human resource information systems handle employee data
such as basic personnel information, attendance and hours,
performance review ratings and payroll tracking.
• Because the data can include private information – names,
addresses and Social Security numbers – protecting privacy and
maintaining security are paramount.

• The HRM database can access information for any individual employee,
reducing the cost of keeping paper records.
• When aggregated, the system can provide trending information for
management feedback in such areas as improving recruiting efforts,
administering benefits and managing schedules and workflow.
 MIS FOR ACCOUNTING AND FINANCES
• Management information systems in accounting are
designed to store and aggregate financial data.
• The resulting analyses are used both internally, by
managers and CFOs, for example, and externally by
consultants, regulators, tax agencies and others.
• Reports generated by the accounting MIS include
profit-and-loss statements, accounts receivable
tracking and other financial statements.
• Because these reports enable management to analyze the company's
financial health, it is imperative that the data input into to the system be
complete, accurate and secure.
MANUFACTURING INFORMATION
SYSTEM’S LIFECYCLE
 Information technology is evolving fast. We are still living at the prehistoric times
of the information age; today’s technology is far from what it will be tomorrow.
 Application centric systems give place to process subordinate services. Pre-
integrated off the shelf systems will be replaced by orchestration management
and execution of services from diverse origins installed on standard
infrastructures.
 In manufacturing, machines generate wealth, not IT. However, IT supports
processes that create wealth
 Manufacturing definitely goes lean and agile requiring highly flexible information
systems that meet its requirements. Strategies must be implementable on the
spot
 The overall life cycle presented is intended to tighten the MIS ongoing
development lifecycle within an agile, controlled process.
MANUFACTURING INFORMATION
SYSTEMS LIFECYCLE
1. MIS Strategic Guidance
Identify expectations from Company’s Top Management. It delivers
• Status and maturity level of the manufacturing information systems in terms of
services they provide, or constraints they impose
• Requested improvements & corresponding global economical impact

2. MIS Master Plan

• Based on strategic guidance, the Master Plan designs and maintains the roadmap
for implementing the necessary changes and monitors Master and
Implementation projects. It delivers:
• A continuously updated, sequenced, measured and controlled suite of projects,
consistent with master project components
3. MIS Master Project
• Ultimate process management maturity is a requirement for the company in search
of excellence. The Master Project is a permanent action covering the entire life
cycle of the company’s manufacturing facilities.

4. Instance Projects
• Instance projects are actual projects, implementing master project solution
components on particular facilities, implementing the directives of the Master Plan.
• Upstream actions must be concretized by tangible and rapid results by the
successful completion of the Instance projects.
5. Facility Life and Back Arrows
• From 1 to 4, the arrows indicate a consistent activity flow /
decisional workflow that will make things happen. The last, but
somewhat the initial point of start is the facility life itself. Strategic
guidance certainly takes into account what happens in the
facilities, among market, customers, suppliers, and economic,
social and natural environment

information system makes it more comfortable to determine the cause of the issue and stops defects from developing
to the being successful phases of creation.
 CROSS TYPES SYNERGY
DRIVE (HSD)
• The Toyota HSD is an innovation to a traditional geared transmitting with an
electromechanical transmission. Since a car engine provides ability
effectively only over a limited range of rates of speed, the crankshaft of the
engine unit is normally connected to a geared transmission by a clutch that
permits the person traveling to alter the speed that may be produced by the
engine unit to the quickness necessary to make the car move. The
combination of excellent vehicle design, effective brake systems, electrical
energy storage and effective engine unit design provide the HSD allowed
vehicle with critical efficiency benefits.

ANDONS
• Toyota utilizes management information systems that utilize visual control
buttons to immediately convey the status of production. Within the
development area, for example, management information systems help
advise a worker with an individual glance whether the station is operating
properly, whether there is certainly something amiss being checked out or if
the development has been halted. Management information systems also
give critical data like which machine did not operate, the operator and the
real time situations when it malfunctioned
 POKAYOKE

• Toyota utilizes a variety of these affordable, highly dependable management

information systems throughout its production process to avoid defects.
While pcs of Toyota cannot set up business plans by themselves, they surely
have helped the management in knowing the influences of their strategies,
and assist in the process of effective decision-making. The PokaYoke are
tasked to convert information into data ideal for decision making.
DECISION MAKING AT THE
THREE TIERS OF
MANAGEMENT
