Synthesis of an

Synthesis of an MIS structure
• The MIS structure has been
described in terms of support for
decision making, management
activity and organizational
functions.

Synthesis of an MIS structure
• We can divide the MIS structure
into
• (1) Conceptual structure
• (2) Physical structure
Conceptual Structure
• The conceptual structure of an MIS
is defined as a federation of
functional subsystem, each of
which is divided into four
information processing
components:
• (1) Strategic planning
• (2) Management control
• (3) Operational control
• (4) Transaction Processing

Physical Structure
• The physical structure of an MIS
would be identical to the
conceptual structure if all
applications consisted of
completely separate programs used
by only one function.
Physical Structure

• We can implement two methods to

achieve substantial economies :
• (1) Integrated processing
• (2) Use of common modules
Integrated processing
• Integrated processing is achieved
by designing several related
applications as a single system in
order to simplify the
interconnections and reduce
duplications of input.
