Management Information System
information system designed to help managers at the operational level (intermediate level) make ongoing executive decisions, thus improving the organizations activities. Systems of this type serve the areas of planning, decision-making and supervision of structured processes that can be performed in a computerized manner. The systems summarize data statistically and provide analyzed information to managers. Unlike TPS whose orientation is historical, MIS can also have implications for future trends and sales data.

Information system used for decision making and for coordinating, controlling, analyzing and visualizing information in an organization.
The study of management information systems involves people, processes, and technology in an organizational context.
In a corporate environment, the ultimate goal of using a management information system is to increase the value and profit of the business.
It does this by providing managers with timely and relevant information to enable them to make effective decisions faster.
The system is made up of a collection of modules.
Some modules can operate completely automatically.
For example, a raw material ordering module, which automatically performs an inventory ordering process when it detects a drop in the inventory level below its pre-set threshold.
Another type of modules are used for process control.
These modules deal with control and monitoring and issue an alert when a malfunction is detected in the process.
Following the alert, the administrator can run a human decision or run another decision-making module using the software.
