History of DSS
Keen (1980):
DSS apply “to situations where a ‘final’ system can be
developed only through an adaptive process of learning and
evolution”
Central Issue in DSS
Ø Support and improvement of decision making
Definition of DSS
A DSS is an interactive, flexible, and adaptable
CBIS, specially developed for supporting the
solution of a non-structured management problem
for improved decision making. It utilizes data, it
provides easy user interface, and it allows for the
decision maker’s own insights.

Components of DSS
The Data Base Management
Subsystem
Optimization systems
Ø provide guidelines for action by
generating the optimal solution
consistent with a set of constraints
Suggestion systems
Ø perform mechanical work leading to a
specific suggested decision for a fairly
structured task
Using DSS…..
Using a decision support system involves an interactive analytical
modeling process
Ø Decision makers are not demanding pre-specified information
Ø They are exploring possible alternatives
What-If Analysis
Ø Observing how changes to selected variables affect other
variables
Sensitivity Analysis
Ø Observing how repeated changes to a single variable affect
other variables
Goal-seeking Analysis
Ø Making repeated changes to selected variables until a chosen
variable reaches a target value
Optimization Analysis
Ø Finding an optimum value for selected variables, given
certain constraints
