Management Information System (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) is an information system that functions at management level to assist planning, controlling, and decision-making by providing a resume routine and specific reports. Management Information System (MIS) takes raw data and the Transaction Processing System (TPS) and turn it into a more meaningful set of data needed to carry out the responsibilities manager. To develop a driver's license, required a good understanding of what information needs of managers and how they use that information.

Transaction Processing System (TPS)

Transaction Processing System (TPS) is a computerized information system developed to process large amounts of data for routine business transactions. The things you can do in this system include:

1. Automating data management and transaction of business activity, which can be regarded as a discrete event in the life of the organization.
2. Data capture and every transaction.
3. Verifies the transaction to be accepted or rejected.
4. Saving a transaction that has been validated for subsequent data collection.
5. Generate reports and to provide a summary of each transaction.
6. Lets move the transaction and one process to another to handle all aspects of business.

Types Of Information Systems

Computer Based Information Systems (CBIS) is usually divided into several types of applications, namely:

1. Transaction Processing System (TPS)
2. Management Information System (MIS)
3. Decision Support System (DSS)
4. Expert System (ES) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Computer Based Information Systems (CBIS)

Computer Based Information Systems (CBIS) is a data processing system into a high quality information and can be used as a tool to support decision-making, coordination and control as well as the visualization and analysis.

The term Computer Based Information Systems (CBIS) actually refers to the information system was developed based on computer technology.

Computer-Based Information System = Hardware + Software + People + Procedures + Information

Component Information System

Stair (1992) explains that the computer-based information systems (CBIS) in an organization made up and the following components:

1. Hardware, the hardware components to complement the activities of data entry, data processing, and output data.
2. Software, the program and instructions given to the computer.
3. Database, a collection of data and information organized in such a way that is easily accessible information system users.
4. Telecommunications, the communication link between users of the system with computer systems together into an effective network.
5. People, the personnel and information systems, including managers, analysts, programmers, and operators, as well as be responsible for system maintenance.

Procedures, ie procedures which include strategies, policies, methods, and regulations in using computer-based information systems.

While Burch and Grudnistki (1986) argues, the system consists of information and components above referred to as a building block, the block input, a model block, output block, technology block and control block. As a system, the six blocks of each interacting with one another to form a single unit to achieve its goals.

1. Input block. Represent the input data into the information system. Input here including methods and media to capture data that will be inserted to form the basic documents.
2. Model block. The block is made up and the combination of procedures, logic, and mathematical models that will manipulate the data input and data stored in the database in a particular way to produce the desired output.
3. Block Exodus. Products and information systems is that the output quality information and documentation that is useful for all levels of management as well as all users of the system.
4. Block Technology. Technology is a tool box (tool-box) in information systems. The technology used to receive input, run the model, storing and accessing data, generate and send the output as well as help control and overall system.
5. Blocks Database. And Database is a collection of related data with each other, is stored in the computer hardware and software used to manipulate it.
6. Control Block. Controls should be designed and implemented to ensure that things that can damage the system can be prevented or if already there mistakes can be directly addressed quickly.

Meanwhile, in the opinion of Davis (1995), consisting of management information systems and the following elements:

1. Computer hardware.
2. Software, which comprises the general system and software, application software, and application programs.
3. Database.
4. Procedure.
5. Operating officer.

Understanding Information System

To understand the meaning of information systems, should be seen links between the data and information as important entities forming the system information. Data is a value, condition, or the nature of stand-alone loose any context. While the information is data that has been processed into a form that is meaningful to the recipient and useful in decision-making current or future (Davis, 1995). Mc Leod (1995) says that information is data that has been processed, or data that has meaning.

Finally, Management Information Systems (MIS) can be defined as a tool to present information in a manner such that the benefit to the recipient (Kertahadi, 1995). The goal is to present information to decision making on planning, organizing, controlling subsystem of a company's operations, synergy and presenting organizations in the process (Murdick and Ross, 1993).
