This document discusses the application of management information systems (MIS) in the manufacturing sector. It outlines the goals of an MIS, which include providing managers with information to help regular operations, control, organize and plan better. It then describes the typical inputs and outputs of an MIS and how MIS can help different functional areas like finance, manufacturing, marketing, etc. Finally, it discusses how MIS supports various management goals like financial management, human resource management, materials management, production management and marketing management in a manufacturing organization.

8. MANUFACTURING CENTRE
•Major business functions are finance
accounting and human resources.
•These are nothing but managerial tasks in
business organization.
•Managers basically perform the function of
decision making, planning and performing.
•As a result MIS of each area is developed.

9. MIS THAT SUPPORTS THE GOAL
•Financial management
•Human resource management
•Materials management
•Production management
•Marketing management

10. PLANNING IN MANUFACTURING
Input :
 capacity constraints
 financial constraints
 demand forecasts
 objectives, strategies and policies.
Output :
 size of workforce
 production/month
 inventory levels
 units or bahts subcontracted
 back ordered.

13. Manufacturing Information System
 Industrial Engineering Subsystem
 IE’s work involves the setting up of production
standard and are compared to actual performance.
 Manufacturing Intelligence Subsystem
 Labor information
 Supplier information

14. Supplier input : Financial strength, past
quality and delivery performance, and so
on.
Quality control input : Units rejected upon
receipt, units rejected during production,
reasons for rejection, etc.
Customer service input : Units replaced or
repaired because of defective parts,
supplier spare parts availability, and so on.

15. Manufacturing Information System
 Production Subsystem
 Production flows
 Bill of material
 Production schedule
 Inventory Subsystem
 The importance of inventory level
 Maintenance costs/carrying cost(spoilage,
pilferage, obsolescence, taxes and
insurance)
 Purchasing costs
 Economic order quantity (EOQ)
 Economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ)

16. Manufacturing Information System
 Quality Subsystem
 Quality control inspectors
 Total Quality Management
 Company wide
 Systematic
 Scientific
 Cost Subsystem
 Preventive maintenance (PM)
 Breakdown hours

18.  One of the major problems of organizations that
make them fail may be insufficient utilization of the
major resource of the organization, viz. information.
Managers have to be aware of utilizing management
information systems effectively to be competitive in
the business world. Many managers in the
manufacturing industries in South Africa may be
unaware of the capabilities and use of an effective
MIS.

 An organization succeeds by bringing together
and managing certain resources in a productive
way. The traditional list of resources comprises
labour (manpower), money, material, managers,
machines and facilities. Only over the past two
decades has information come to be recognized
as another resource, one that is crucial to the
management of others and one, which under
certain circumstances, may be substituted for
them cost-effectively.
