Information Networks - Technology Structure, Logistics Management Video Lecture | Logistics Management - B Com

Global Logistics hi everybody we are
from group 25 in this video we are going
to discuss and apply six general types
of Information Systems please be seated
and enjoy this video a problem will come
to out mind what is information system
information system is a combination of
hardware software and infrastructure to
facilitate planning control coordination
and decision making in an organization
and also an information system commonly
refers to a basic computer system but
may also describe a telephone switching
or environmental controlling system
moreover the information system involves
resources for shared or processed
information as well as the people who
manage the system so people are
considered part of the system as system
would not work without them let's start
with scene 1 office automation system hi
my name is James I'm working in my dad's
logistics company in Malaysia we have 5
warehouses 80 trucks as well as 150
minivans to carry the parcels every day
everywhere I studied finance in my
degree so I think I could help on some
calculation jobs in my dad's company
James works as an office assistant with
spreadsheet applications to calculate
optimal order quantity facility location
in order to minimize tranportation cost
so what is spreadsheet application for
example Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Project as well as Microsoft
Visio all these are spreadsheet
applications these are the office
automation system it provides effective
ways to process personal and
organizational business data to perform
calculations and to create documents
soon he got bored of doing those
paperwork let's continue to seen 2
transaction processing system now James
changed his mindset he wants to start
over from the lowest position in his
dad's company now
he works as a storage worker he is
responsible to ensure all the parcels
are attached with the radio-frequency
identity tag this allows them to record
the flows of the parcels radio frequency
identity tag is the transaction
processing system it collects and stores
information about transactions and
controls some aspects of transactions
besides that TBS system commonly used in
business our systems employed by major
credit card companies found in almost
every retail store it's amazing isn't it
now let's proceed to scene 3 management
information system
hey James you have to take the branch
manager position immediately all right I
will respect your decision
so James get promoted to be a branch
manager now I'm using logistic
information system to observe the whole
warehouse movement such as there are
flows of parcels by watching information
provided so with this system warehouse
movement such as flow of loading storing
and distributing can be monitored easily
by James the information provided is
converted by management information
system from the data collected from
transaction processing system that's
precise and fast in summary this system
make logistics movement easy to observe
the process from good receiving
identifying dispatch cold picking
shipment planning and dispatch of
shipments let's continue with the fourth
system decision support system two years
later James get promoted to senior
manager he is now even busier than ever
as more and more works need to be
completed every day in a sudden
hey why don't I use the decision support
system this system uses a model base it
provides access to a number of different
models to support decision-making many
of these models consist of statistical
analysis of data and can serve as
guidelines for certain decisions
bombastic with decision support system
I'm now able to analyze and determine
the existing data while also predicting
trends in the future it's glad to have
this system with warehouse support
system I'm now able to make the right
decision as a senior manager I will not
let my dad down through decision support
system we are able to make comparative
figures projected revenue figures as
well as visualize consequences of
different decision alternatives
you must be very excited let's continue
with scene 5 communication system after
a few days James is scratching his head
heart his clients complain that they are
not receiving the goods at the right
time and right place he need to do sub
course more and more clients are not
willing to use the services from James
logistics company anymore
hence this results a serious decline of
company's revenue with some researches
he realized that global positioning
system can be installed and solved the
problems he proposed this idea to the
management no objections he may proceed
afterwards every truck in the company is
now installed a GPS system through this
James able to make sure the drivers
follow the correct and shortest route
now the parcels delivered on time
drivers go on the right route and also
it saves cost the clients are begin come
back to him this results are very
significant boost on the company revenue
by 75% in just one month period it's a
glory victory to summarize it
communication system helps people work
together by interacting and sharing
information in many forms
finally let's proceed to the last scene
enterprise system five years later his
dad decided to retire and promote James
to be the CEO of the company he believes
James is competent in this James is now
in charge of the whole company
definitely James would let his dad proud
of him he decided to implement
enterprise resource planning system this
system allows the company to automate
and integrate the majority of business
processes share common data and
practices across the enterprise as well
as produce and access information in a
real-time environment by implementing
this system it would reduce the
processing time and cost effectively for
the information flow from one department
to another for example customer can
place order online from company's
website
the information will automatically link
to all Department which make the process
faster and reduces processing cost and
customer can receive the parcels at on
time so these are the six information
systems applied in business I hope you
learnt something from our video thanks
for watching
