This paper presents an assessment of information system factors that influence the operational performance sustainability of UAE manufacturing sector. The study was conducted using quantitative approach where data was collected through the questionnaire survey and analysed statistically. A total of 41 factors of information system extracted from literature review and clustered into 4 domains namely transaction processing system; operation information system; decision support system and financial manager's workbench. The survey distributed 250 questionnaires among operations staff of UAE manufacturing industries. However, only 200 datasets were considered valid for further analysis. Ranking of factors were conducted using mean score and standard deviation. The results found that the most influential domain is decision support system having mean value of 4.19. The findings from this study give an indicator on the importance of information system toward the sustainable operational performance of the UAE manufacturing sector

The employment of information system for conceptualisation of information analysis and control as well as decision-making, which depicts management information system (MIS), has aroused the interest of researchers and practitioners. This study examined the effect of MIS on manufacturing firms’ performance in Nigeria, by using two elements of MIS, namely the decision support system (DSS) and the executive information system (EIS). The study employed a survey research design, by administering questionnaires to some selected employees of manufacturing firms at Agbara Industrial Estate, Ogun State, Nigeria. The findings revealed that the two elements of MIS employed for this study (DSS and EIS) have an individual significant positive effect on manufacturing firms’ performance. It concluded that MIS elements (DSS and EIS) are important determinants of manufacturing firms’ performance. It is, therefore, recommended that manufacturing firms should employ MIS elements, particularly DSS and EIS, for the enhancement of their performance.   Keywords: Decision support system, executive information system, management information system, manufacturing firms, performance.

Short Term

This paper describes a decision support system that forest managers can use to help evaluate short-term, site-specific silvicultural operating plans in terms of their potential impact on long-term, forest-level strategic objectives. The system is based upon strategic and tactical forest-level silvicultural planning models that are linked with each other and with a geographical information system. Managers can first use the strategic mathematical programming model to develop broad silvicultural strategies based on aggregate timber strata. These strategies help them to subjectively delineate specific candidate sites that might be treated during the first 10 years of a much longer planning horizon using a geographical information system and to describe potential silvicultural prescriptions for each candidate site. The tactical model identifies an annual silvicultural schedule for these candidate sites in the first 10 years, and a harvesting and regeneration schedule by 10-year periods for aggregate timber strata for the remainder of the planning horizon, that will maximize the sustainable yield of one or more timber species in the whole forest, given the candidate sites and treatments specified by the managers. The system is demonstrated on a 90 000 - ha area in northeastern Ontario.

This article explores the ability of a decision support system (DSS) to improve the quality of decision making in extreme environment. This DSS is actually based on a networked information system. Academic literature commonly mentions models of fit to explore the relationship between technology and performance, reckoning users' evaluations as a relevant measurement technique for Information System (IS) success. Although effective contributions have been achieved in measurement and exploration of fit, there have been few attempts to investigate the triangulation of fit between “Task-DSS-Decision Maker” under stressful and uncertain circumstances. This article provides new insights regarding the advantages provided by networked IS for making relevant decisions. An original case study has been conducted. It is focused on a networked decision support system called Link 16 that is used during aerial missions. This case study shows that the system improves decision making on an individual basis. Our result suggest the importance of three main fit criteria – Compliance, Complementarity and Conformity – to measure DSS performance under extreme environment and display a preliminary decisional fit model.

The interoperability problems of distributed databases are important in the developing of the operatively working web services aimed for all sectors of public administration. The following web services are designed for solving tasks in water resource management and contamination evaluation sector with a due attention to the international environment protection context. The paper is devoted to problems of developing the component‐based architecture of the integrated decision‐support system that afford ground for the monitoring and intellectual analysis of water management. Such investigations are made according to the requirements of European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive, Sustainable development Directives and EIONET ReportNet infrastructure. The main components of decision‐support system are analyzed by using different knowledge modelling and web service development techniques. The structure of water resource management information system (WRMIS) becomes the core of the decision‐support system in which web services are implemented. The main components for evaluation of processes of contamination and water monitoring are represented by data warehouse structures. The solutions to satisfy the interoperability requirements are demonstrated by architectural design decisions of the system, integrating the distributed data warehouses and geographical information system means. The web services are based on common portal technology. The organizational and political arrangements require deeper and stronger participation activities by all member states of EU in reporting, understanding the importance of sustainable development problems and risk evaluation possibilities. Santrauka Vandens išteklių valdymas ir nutekamojo vandens kokybės vertinimas yra viena svarbiausių problemų, susijusių su aplinkos apsaugos ir žmonių sveikatos uždaviniais. Vanduo yra vienas iš pagrindinių išteklių visiems biologinės įvairovės gyvavimo ciklams egzistuoti. Vandens kokybės reikalavimai daro įtaką daugeliui darniosios plėtros reikalavimų.

Hierarchy Process

Sistem  Pendukung  Keputusan  (SPK)  atau  dikenal  dengan  Decision  Support    System  (DSS), pada  tahun  1970-an  sebagai  pengganti  istilah  <em>Management    Information  System</em>  (MIS).  Batam  merupakan  pulau  kaya  raya,  dimana  mempunyai  laut  yang  terdapat  ikan  melimpah ruah.  Penelitian  ini bertujuan  merancang  sistem  penunjang  keputusan  untuk  budidaya  ikan  laut  dengan  pendekatan metode  Analytical  Hierarchy  Process  (AHP),  sehingga  dapat  membantu  nelayan  dalam  memilih ikan  yang  mudah  dibudidayakan. Tahapan  penelitian  ini  yaitu  menetapkan  alternatif-alternatif dan  kriteria  dalam  sebuah  sistem  penunjang  keputusan  untuk  budidaya  ikan  laut. Dalam  hal budidaya  ikan  laut,  ada  beberapa  kriteria  dan  alternatif  agar  menjadi  ekonomis  dan menguntungkan,  antara  lain  kriteria  jenis  ikan  dan  alternatif-alternatif  yaitu  PH  air,  Jumlah Pakan,  Suhu,  dan  luas  keramba. Tahapan  yang  dilakukan  yaitu  menghitung  bobot  kriteria  mencari  normalisasi  matrik  setiap  bobot dan  kriteria,  mengecek  konsistensi  dengan  cara  mengitung  konsistensi  setiap  langkah-langkah yang  akan  dilakukan,  maka  kriteria  atau  jenis  ikan  yang  dibudidaya  akan  mendapatkan  nilai bobot  tertinggi,  selanjutnya  akan  dilakukan  perbandingan  setiap  kriteria  dan  alternatif-alternatif, Hasil  yang  didapatkan  adalah  nilai  bobot  dari    masing-masing  alternatif  yang  dirangking  dari tertinggi  sampai  terendah.  Hasil  nilai  alternatif  budidaya  ikan  yang  telah  diberi  rangking  tersebut dapat  digunakan  sebagai  pendukung  keputusan  dalam  menentukan  budidaya  pemilihan  ikan terbaik  di  Balai  Perikanan  Budidaya  Laut  Batam.
