Transaction Processing
Systems
Transaction Processing Systems ("TPS") are designed to
process
routine transactions efficiently and accurately without
mistakes.
A business will have several TPS; for instance:
y Billing systems to send invoices to customersy Systems that
calculate the weekly and monthly payroll
and tax payments of the business.
y Production and purchasing systems to calculate rawmaterial
needed for production

Developing Strategy to improve Information System
Here I would explain the strategy to improveManagement
Information Systems which is one
of the most important information system
Before starting the strategy of development lets take a look
on
TYPES OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
Seven types of information are necessary for top-level
managers.
1. Comfort information: This informs about current situation or
achievement levels that aretuned to expectations. (Clients served,
target achieved, operations conducted etc.)
2. Status information or progress information: This keeps
abreast of current problem andcrises and changes. (Progress on
office construction, status of research study, labor
negotiation, grant application)
3. Warning information: These are the signals that change for
good or worse are occurring(stock price, turn over, customers
complaints, etc.)
4. Planning information: This information includes descriptions
of projects/programs due infuture, knowledge of anticipated
developments (future of funding, future of
federal/governmental support)
5. Internal operations information: These are the indicators on
how organization/program isperforming.
6. External intelligence: This information includes the gossip,
and opinions about activities inthe environment of the agency.
Competition, funding policies, political changes and
emerging social policies etc
7. Externally distributed information: This information are the
annual report beforerelease, quarterly progress report for donors,
press releases about the agency, publicity
material before printing, etc.

Steps to improve access to MIS
Preliminary Investigationy The problem
In order to improve the access of current system to information
the Kelloggs needed toidentify the problem it had previously during
access.
y Viability and cost effectivenessKelloggs need to find the cost
of developing the new to approach information system
y ObjectivesThe objectives are as follows:
The Information system of Kelloggs should process information at
high speed, toavoid any delay
The system should be very accurate to avoid any mistakes
Accessing should be faster and wide area of accessing information
Provide a better security measure such as usage of passwords so as
the access
becomes more accurate.
Requirements Analysis
y Knowing the primary and secondary usersAscertaining user
needs
Systems design
y StorageThe storage medium should be improved to improve the
access. For the improved system
Kelloggs have planned to increases the capacity storage in order
to make the accessing
faster

Acquisition/procurement
y CompatibilityAbility of two or more systems or their
components to work together without user
intervention Or modification
The new system would enable all information to be interlinked so
that the information
and knowledge can be easily shared within employees
Implementation/installationy Application development
y TestingA test plan is a systematic approach to testing a
system such as a machine or software.
The plan typically contains a detailed understanding of what the
eventual workflow will
be. A test plan documents the strategy that will be used to
verify and ensure that a
hardware product or system meets its design specifications and
other requirements.
y Debugging logical and syntacticaly Procedure and user manual
preparationy Orientation and trainingy Maintenance and up
gradation
