Management Information Systems (MIS) are designed to provide timely, accurate, and relevant information to managers to help them make effective decisions. An MIS involves collecting data from various business functions, processing and analyzing the data, and distributing reports to managers. The goal of an MIS is to improve decision-making, planning, and organizational control. It provides managers with operating, status, resource, and other types of information on a scheduled basis, on demand, or when exceptions occur.

• Availability of information refers to more
accurate relevant information. All decisions
are made available information
2.Quality
Quality of information describes its compactness and
accuracy. Decisions are taken only out of quality of
information.

15. 3. Quantity
• To much information cannot be processed very
easily by the management within stipulated time and
difficult to get accurate information.
4.Timeliness
Information must be available when needed.

6. Flexibility

19. Process of MIS
Assembling

Information is summarized form
Flexibility

20. 1.Assembing
