MIS and my career

Management Information Systems used in my career includes:

• MIS used to compile information

This include computer systems that are used to gather, anaylze and present information. A company can use past sales figures to identify periods of high and low sales. This information can then be used to schedule production and meet it production and sales goals.

• MIS used in marketing

Information such as consumer buying trends and behaviors are used to design marketing activities. Companies use this information to ensure that the right strategies are used and they are aimed at the correct target markets.

• MIS used in managing supply chains

Supply chain information helps to identify bottlenecks in purchasing raw materials and delivering finished products. Companies use supply chain management to plan and solve problems that could otherwise affect production and sales.
