An attempt is made to describe early thinking on how a management information systems framework can be constructed to assist in protecting the British environment and in meeting European and international environmental obligations. The first step is to establish a directory of existing information sources, and the International Referral System for Sources of Environmental Information together with its national counterpart are seen as serving this function. The next step is to develop the idea of environmental data records, which are presented for networking in agreed format. Some progress has been made in drafting a proposed format for ‘chemorecords’ – of substances and their properties, production, uses, handling, environmental involvement, toxicology and control. Work remains to be started on how to develop a draft format for monitoring data (georecords) and for data on ecological interacttions of man and other organisms (biorecords).

Mahir Pradana; The search for as much information as possible is needed to achieve maximum results in a management process. Information is also needed as a source of evaluation of the development of an organization, institutions, companies, and departments. Thus, the management process is inseparable from the use of information systems, which is a set of components that are interconnected, collect, process the store, and distribute information to support decision-making and control in an organization. This article examines the theories of management information system to be used as a reference in the domain of management information systems.Keywords: Management Information Systems, Use Of Information Systems, The Value Of Information Technology.

The Relationship

Management information systems (MIS) are fundamental for public sector organizations seeking to support the work of managers. Yet they are often ignored in the rush to focus on ‘sexier’ applications. This chapter aims to redress the balance by providing a detailed analysis of public sector MIS. It first locates MIS within the broader management monitoring and control systems that they support. Understanding the broader systems and the relationship to public sector inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes is essential to understanding MIS. The chapter details the different types of reports that MIS produce, and uses this as the basis for an MIS model and a description of the decision-making benefits that computerized MIS can bring. Finally, the chapter describes generic public sector MIS that address internal government transactions, public administration/ regulation, and public service delivery. Real-world examples of all types are provided from the U.S., England, Africa, and Asia. <BR>

This paper describes prototype management information systems used to support the transformation of a job-orientated manufacturer into a preferred supplier to the Aerospace Industry. As a jobbing manufacturer the company excelled at reactive management, responding rapidly to short lead-time demands. This approach, however, was inappropriate for the increasingly competitive production of steady state orders (‘runners’) and spare parts orders (‘repeaters’). As a result, the company experienced falling delivery performances and increasing work-in-progress, inventory levels and overtime requirements. Furthermore, there was only a modest understanding of customer requirements due to the poor visibility of the order book. There was also little awareness of internal and supplier capabilities, and the planning and control systems were non-existent, relying heavily on senior management expertise. The company, however, was reluctant to invest in new management information systems, aware of the risk of expensive systems unsuited to the company requirements. Instead, prototype solutions were developed using low-cost and readily available software, which provided the stability and visibility that the company required and formed the basis of a more long-term understanding of planning and control requirements. This paper describes the iterative prototype developments to support the new company infrastructure and quantifies the benefits that were achieved through their introduction.

The Government obligate to secure BMN. The security include physical security, administrative, and legal secure. In order to secure the necessary administrative administration system that can create a control (controlling) on BMN. Thus the necessary tools in the form of system that can simplify the administration and control of BMN. Management Information Systems and Accounting State Assets (SIMAK-BMN) was organized with the aim to produce the necessary information as a tool of accountability for the implementation of the budget and management / control BMN controlled by an accounting unit of goods. But until now has not carried out an evaluation of the level of keefektivitas SIMAK-BMN especially in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Therefore conducted a study to determine the factors that influence the effectiveness of SIMAK-BMN. So this study can be useful for applications maker SIMAK-BMN in knowing what the important factors that must be considered to improve the effectiveness of SIMAK-BMN which have been implemented. The result is that the factors that influence the effectiveness of SIMAK-BMN are Facility, Usability and Quality Systems. Without the factors above, it is very unlikely that SIMAK-BMN can operate effectively.

The Impact

Abstract Technology is the science that studies processes, methods and operations run or applied onto raw materials, matters or data, in order to obtain a certain product. Information is the material signal able to launch a material reaction of a dynamic auto-tuning system for which the system is conditioned and finalized. Information Technology is the technology needed for handling (procuring, processing, storing converting and transmitting) information, in particular, with the use of computers [Longley, D. & Shain, M. (1985), p. 164]. The importance of IT in the economic growth and development is widely known, taking into account the impact that technology can have on the success and survival, or the failure of the economic activity of enterprises/organizations, IT offering various management information systems (MIS), executive and feedback segments, which all have important and beneficial implications in management and control.
