Management Information System (MIS)

A management information system (MIS) provides information that organizations require to manage themselves efficiently and effectively. Management information systems are typically computer systems used for managing. The six primary components of an MIS are:

1. Hardware

2. Software

3. Firmware

4. Data (information for decision making),

5. Procedures (design,development and documentation)

6. People (individuals, groups, or organizations).

Management information systems are distinct from other information systems in that they are used to analyze and facilitate strategic and operational activities.

JINAN UNIVERSITYPage 4MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

Academically, the term is commonly used to refer to the study of how individuals, groups, and organizations evaluate, design, implement, manage, and utilize systems to generate information to improve efficiency and effectiveness of decision making, including systems termed decision support systems, expert systems, and executive information systems. Many business schools (or colleges of business administration within universities) have an MIS department, alongside departments of accounting, finance, management, marketing, and may award degrees (at undergrad, masters, and PhD levels) in MIS.

Terms In Management Information System (MIS)

The terms Management Information System (MIS), information system, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and information technology management are often confused.Information technology management concerns the operation and organization of information technology resources independent of their purpose.Most management information systems specialize in particular commercial and industrial sectors, aspects of the enterprise, or management substructure.

Management information systems, produce fixed, regularly scheduled reports based on

data extracted and summarized from the firms underlying transaction processing systems to middle and operational level managers to identify and inform structured and semi-structured decision problems.

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are computer program applications used by middle and higher management to compile information from a wide range of sources to support problem solving and decision making. A DSS is used mostly for semi-structured and unstructured decision problems.

Executive Information Systems (EIS) is a reporting tool that provides quick access to summarized reports coming from all company levels and departments such as accounting, human resources and operations.

Marketing Information Systems are Management Information Systems designed specifically for managing the marketing aspects of the business.

Office Automation Systems (OAS) support communication and productivity in the enterprise by automating workflow and eliminating bottlenecks.OAS may be implemented at any and all levels of management.

School Information Management Systems (SIMS) cover school administration,and often including teaching and learning materials.

Enterprise Resource Planning facilitates the flow of information between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders.

Enterprise Application

Enterprise systemsalso known as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systemsprovide integrated software modules and a unified database that personnel use to plan, manage, and control core business processes across multiple locations. Modules of ERP systems may include finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, production, inventory management, and distribution.

Supply chain management (SCM) systems enable more efficient management of the supply chain by integrating the links in a supply chain. This may include suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and final customers.[7]

JINAN UNVIVERSITYPage 6

MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

Customer relationship management (CRM) systems help businesses manage relationships

with potential and current customers and business partners across marketing, sales, and service.[8]

Knowledge management system (KMS) helps organizations facilitate the collection, recording, organization, retrieval, and dissemination of knowledge. This may include documents, accounting records, unrecorded procedures, practices, and skills. Knowledge management (KM) as a system covers the process of knowledge creation and acquisition from internal processes and the external world. The collected knowledge is incorporated in organizational policies and procedures, and then disseminated to the stakeholders.[9]

Developing Enterprise System

Conversion is the process of changing or converting the old system into the new. This can be done in three basic ways, though newer methods (prototyping, Extreme Programming, JAD, etc.) are replacing these traditional conversion methods in many cases:

Direct cut The new system replaces the old at an appointed time.

Pilot study - Introducing the new system to a small portion of the operation to see how it fares. If good then the new system expands to the rest of the company.

ADVANTAGES OF MIS

The following are some of the benefits that can be attained using MISs.

Companies are able to identify their strengths and weaknesses due to the presence of revenue reports, employees' performance record etc. Identifying these aspects can help a company improve its business processes and operations.

Giving an overall picture of the company.

Acting as a communication and planning tool.

The availability of customer data and feedback can help the company to align its business processes according to the needs of its customers. The effective management of customer data can help the company to perform direct marketing and promotion activities.

MISs can help a company gain a competitive advantage. Competitive advantage is a firms ability to do something better, faster, cheaper, or uniquely, when compared with rival firms in the market.

It Facilitates planning : MIS improves the quality of plants by providing relevant information for sound decision - making . Due to increase in the size and complexity of organizations, managers have lost personal contact with the scene of operations.

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page 8

MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

In Minimizes information overload : MIS change the larger amount of data in to summarized form and there by avoids the confusion which may arise when managers are flooded with detailed facts.

MIS Encourages Decentralization : Decentralization of authority is possibly when there is a system for monitoring operations at lower levels. MIS is successfully used for measuring performance and making necessary change in the organizational plans and procedures.

It brings Co ordination : MIS facilities integration of specialized activities by keeping each department aware of the problem and requirements of other departments. It connects all decision centers in the organization.

It makes control easier : MIS serves as a link between managerial planning and control. It improves the ability of management to evaluate and improve performance . The used computers has increased the data processing and storage capabilities and reduced the cost MIS assembles, process , stores , Retrieves , evaluates and Disseminates the information.

DISADVANTAGES OF MIS

Depending on organization deployment, usage and extraneous factors, some disadvantages related to Management Information Systems can come to the fore. Allocation of budgets for MIS upgrades, modifications and other revisions can be quite tricky at times.

If budgets are not allocated uniformly or as per immediate requirements, key functionalities might get effected and benefits might not be realized consistently.

Integration issues with legacy systems can affect the quality of output and vital business intelligence reports.

Constant Monitoring Issues.

Change in management, exits or departures of department managers and other senior executives has a broad effect on the working and monitoring of certain organization practices including MIS systems. Since MIS is a critical component of an organization's risk management strategy and allied systems, constant monitoring is necessary to ensure its effectiveness.

Quality of inputs into MIS needs to be monitored; otherwise consistency in the quality of data and information generated gets effected.

Managers are not able to direct business, operational and decision-making activities with the requisite flexibility.

Introduction to KFC

Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the leading fast food Franchise concepts of today;present in a variety of countries around the world and has been proficient to launch a renowned International reputation in multiple continents. Starting in the United States in the 1930s, it has grown to become a true multi-domestic company. KFC has focused on foreign markets since the 1960s and has initiated a new challenge today in conquering.

KFC, known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a chain of fast food restaurants based in Louisville,Kentucky.

In the midst of the depression, Harland Sanders who was born just outside Henryville ( Indiana), opens his first restaurant in the small front room of a gas station in Corbin, Kentucky.

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page 11

MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

The target customer of KFC [upper, middle and above] are health conscious and hence to cater to their interest Kentucky fried Chicken changed its name to KFC.

HISTORY OF KFC

KFC was founded by Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of restaurant franchising, and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1952. KFC popularized chicken in the fast-food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. By branding himself "Colonel Sanders", the founder became a prominent figure of American cultural history, and his image remains widely used in KFC advertising. The company's rapid expansion saw it grow too large for Sanders to manage, and in 1964 he sold the company to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown, Jr. and Jack C. Massey.

MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

KFC was one of the first fast-food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in England, Mexico and Jamaica by the mid-1960s. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, KFC experienced mixed success domestically, as it went through a series of changes in corporate ownership with little or no experience in the restaurant business. In the early 1970s, KFC was sold to the spirits distributor Heublein, which was taken over by the R.J. Reynolds food and tobacco conglomerate, which later sold the chain to PepsiCo. The chain continued to expand overseas, and in 1987 KFC became the first Western restaurant chain to open in China.

In 1997, PepsiCo spun off its restaurants division as Tricon Global Restaurants, which changed its name to Yum! Brands in 2002. Yum has proved a more focused owner than Pepsi, and although KFC's number of outlets have declined in the US, the company has continued to grow in Asia, South America and Africa. The chain has expanded to 18,875 outlets across 118 countries and territories, with 4,563 outlets in China alone, KFC's largest market.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP)

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a business management softwareusually a suite of integrated applicationsthat a company can use to collect, store, manage and interpret data from many business activities, including:-

Product planning, cost

Manufacturing or service delivery

Marketing and sales

Inventory management

Shipping and payment

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page 14

MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

ERP provides an integrated view of core business processes, often in real-time, using common databases maintained by a database management system. ERP systems track business resourcescash, raw materials, production capacityand the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll. The applications that make up the system share data across the various departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) that provide the data. ERP facilitates information flow between all business functions, and manages connections to outside stakeholders.

Enterprise system software is a multi-billion dollar industry that produces components that support a variety of business functions. IT investments have become the largest category of capital expenditure in United States-based businesses over the past decade. Though early ERP systems focused on large enterprises, smaller enterprises increasingly use ERP systems.

OBJECTIVES OF ERP

ERP or enterprise resource planning is a commonly used software package for enhancing the operational efficiency of business resources. It is a composition of software modules assisting company owners to achieve their goals at a faster rate. Implementation of ERP for an organization is done on the basis of company requirements. Today, ERP is a widely applied software system in all types of industrial fields including small and medium sized companies. Inventory control, better human capital management, customer relationship management and order tracking are some among the key benefits of implementing enterprise resource planning. Proper implementation of ERP package according to business needs is benefited with lots of advantages. Before implementing ERP software, it is advised to do well research on specific field. Choosing the right ERP software package from a well reputed vendor ensure safety. Now, let's see in detail the core objectives of ERP.

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page16MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

Knowing real time information about business field strategies is one of the core objectives of ERP. ERP software package, which is a blend of software modules helps in integrating data and real time information. It helps in better planning and management of resources as per the requirements of company. Upgrading the needed software modules, better work flow and improved efficiency are some of the important benefits of using ERP system. It is found to be very efficient in controlling and managing organizations at different locations. At present ERP is an essential tool package used by many of the multinational companies for achieving their long term goals. Return on investment, best known as ROI is another core objective of ERP. Proper implementation of ERP package assists professionals to gain more profit by utilizing available resources. It is a perfect tool adopted by company owners for delivering desired output at affordable cost.

In order to compete and win in today's global market field, better management of resources is an important criterion. Implementation of ERP controls different functions and enhance company efficiency. Latest technologies equipped with in ERP software package helps in better controlling and management of data. If implementation of ERP is done according to company goals, it assures you more return on investment. Before planning project, it is advised to design the project in a realistic approach. This helps employees in maximizing ROI in practical. Reducing inventory cost is another core objective of ERP implementation. Better order tracking, knowing customer needs and business requirements by ERP assists in proper utilization and management of resources. It enhances operational process and maximizes the return on investment rates.

Enhancing the customer relationship management is a main feature coming under the core objectives of ERP. It increases the quality of services, shortens delivery times and enhances the performance rate offered by companies. Error controlling is another core objective behind ERP implementation in an organization. It helps in better planning and coordination of business resources so as to achieve maximum profit.

Advantages of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) System:

In order to understand computer networks better, it would be helpful to have an overview of the applications running on the network. ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning is an important enterprise application that integrates all the individual department functions into a single software application.

ERP Systems make it easier to track the workflow across various departments. They reduce the operational costs involved in manually tracking and (perhaps) duplicating data using individual & disparate systems. In this article, let us have a look at the advantages and dis-advantages of implementing ERP (Enterprise Resource Management) Software Systems.

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page19MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

1. Complete visibility into all the important processes, across various departments of an organization (especially for senior management personnel).

2. Automatic and coherent workflow from one department/function to another, to ensure a smooth transition and quicker completion of processes. This also ensures that all the inter-departmental activities are properly tracked and none of them is missed out.

3. A unified and single reporting system to analyze the statistics/status etc. in real-time, across all functions/departments.

4. Since same (ERP) software is now used across all departments, individual departments having to buy and maintain their own software systems is no longer necessary.

5.Certain ERP vendors can extend their ERP systems to provide Business Intelligencefunctionalities, that can give overall insights on business processes and identify potential areas of problems/improvements.

6. Advanced e-commerce integration is possible with ERP systems most of them can handle web-based order tracking/ processing.

7. There are various modules in an ERP system like Finance/Accounts, Human Resource Management, Manufacturing, Marketing/Sales, Supply Chain/Warehouse Management, CRM, Project Management, etc.

8. Since ERP is a modular software system, its possible to implement either a few modules (or) many modules based on the requirements of an organization. If more modules implemented, the integration between various departments may be better.

9. Since a Database system is implemented on the backend to store all the information required by the ERP system, it enables centralized storage/back-up of all enterprise data.

10. ERP systems are more secure as centralized security policies can be applied to them. All the transactions happening via the ERP systems can be tracked.

12. It is possible to integrate other systems (like bar-code reader, for example) to the ERP system through an API (Application Programing Interface).

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page 20

MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

Disadvantages of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Systems:

1. ERP deployments are highly time-consuming projects may take 1-3 years (or more) to get completed and fully functional.

2. Too little customization may not integrate the ERP system with the business process & too much customization may slow down the project and make it difficult to upgrade.

3. The cost savings/payback may not be realized immediately after the ERP implementation & it is quite difficult to measure the same.

4. The participation of users is very important for successful implementation of ERP projects

hence, exhaustive user training and simple user interface might be critical. But ERP systems are generally difficult to learn (and use).

5. There maybe additional indirect costs due to ERP implementation like new IT infrastructure, upgrading the WAN links, etc.

6. Migration of existing data to the new ERP systems is difficult (or impossible) to achieve. Integrating ERP systems with other stand alone software systems is equally difficult (if

possible). These activities may consume a lot of time, money & resources, if attempted.

7. ERP implementations are difficult to achieve in decentralized organizations with disparate business processes and systems.

8. Once an ERP systems is implemented it becomes a single vendor lock-in for further upgrades, customizations etc. Companies are at the discretion of a single vendor and may not be able to negotiate effectively for their services.

9. Evaluation prior to implementation of ERP system is critical. If this step is not done properly and experienced technical/business resources are not available while evaluating, ERP implementations can (and have) become a failure.

What Does ERP Software Implementation Include?

For the small / medium-sized business, there are four distinct facets to an implementation, and ignoring or short-cutting any of them can lead to a very unhappy user when all is said and done:

1. Data migration

2. Business Consulting

3. Configuration

4. User Training

Data Migration

You dont want to manually key in your customers and part numbers. You also want your new ERP system to have all your sales history in place. The good news is that, from a technology perspective,migrating this information is usually not a problem. The bad news is that it can usually be done quickly or correctly, but not both. To migrate data into a new system optimally, allowing you to use the new system to its potential, will usually entail some data cleansing (or massaging) activities by both the software vendor and the end user.

Data migration is not a single-stage activity. Youd want to migrate data ahead of time, to sanity check and for training purposes (see later), and then again at point of go-live.

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page 22MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

Business Consulting

The business processes and procedures that youve developed while working with your entry-level system (and probably some Excel spreadsheets to supplement it) may work well for you at present and of course you have a comfort level with familiar processes. But this may not be the best way to operate once you have a more powerful business software tool at your disposal. A good ERP Software Vendor will assist you in optimizing your processes to take maximum advantage of the system, and eliminate procedural bottlenecks and / or duplication.

Configuration

Your new ERP system will be much more configurable than perhaps youre accustomed to.

The same system can behave quite differently (and even look and feel different) depending on how its set up. Getting the initial setup right is crucial to a smooth implementation. While you should be guided by the vendor, you need to actively participate in this process to ensure that what you ant to get out of the system is taken into account during setup. While many configuration options can be changed / reversed even after you are live on the ERP system, by that time your hands will be full, and you may never get to making those changes. Do it right the first time.

JINAN UNIVERSITY Page 23MIS SYSTEM OF KFC

User Training

No matter how user-friendly a system is, users need training. I believe that in the small / medium-sized business, there is no point training most end users until just a few days before go-live. Otherwise most of the training is forgotten / wasted. A power user or two should be trained ahead of time, but most users should experience training and go-live as a single, contiguous exercise. Users should only ever be trained on their actual (migrated) data, and should be trained on any changes to business processes at the same time.

ERP and its function

After increasing the complexity in business process , ERP has become famous among business community . If we have to define it in simple way.Then we can say that ERP is the new invention of Information technology in which experts make the system for integration of all business processes. For this, they utilize different software and hardware, with this all process of business like , accounting , human resource , production and now marketing are managed . Now , ERP whose full name is enterprise resource planning ( some says enterprise resource processing ) is very scientific technique of Controlling whole business by co-ordination of all information on shared data base . This technique was firstly introduced by information technology research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc. in 1990
