INTRO TO MSS

INTRODUCTION (FYI)
 More competition
 Globalization
 Complexity
More decision making (D.M)

MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SYSTEMS
MSS: collection of tools/systems to support
managerial activity.
Characteristics (FYI):
 Interactive
 Customizable
 Model based
 Support rather than automate

EXAMPLES OF DECISIONS
Whether
to approve a loan?
Whether to promote an employee?
How much of an increase to allocate to employees?
Where
to advertise? Allocation to media?
How to finance a capital expansion project?
How much to produce? When to produce?
What
products to produce? What markets?
What production techniques to use?
7
TYPES OF DECISIONS
When to produce?
What products?
Types of Decisions
Structured problem
(routine)
Unstructured problem
(non-routine)

DECISION MAKING STYLES
Unstructured
Structured
D.M. Styles
Analytical
{focus on methods &
models}
Intuitive
{focus on cues,
trial & error}

THE IDC MODEL OF DECISION MAKING
Intelligence

10
THE IDC MODEL OF DECISION MAKING
Introduced by Herbert Simon, the IDC consists of
The following stages:
Intelligence -- Identification of problem information
Design
-- Identification of alternative solutions
Choice
-- Choosing a solution which optimizes D.M.

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
12
DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
A system that supports structured and semi-structured
decision making by managers in their own
personalized way.
13
CLASSICAL DSS ARCHITECTURE
Dialog management
User interface
Model management
Capabilities for creating & linking models
Data management
Capabilities for managing & accessing
data
Database
Note: model is an abstract representation of a problem
14
DSS ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES

“What - if “

Sensitivity

Goal-seeking

Optimization
15
DSS ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES
What if
- change one or more variables
Sensitivity - change one variable
Goal seeking - finding a solution to satisfy
constraints
Optimization- find best solution under a given
set of constraints
16
DSS MODELS (FYI)
 Financial
e.g. portfolio, NPV
 Statistical
e.g. : forecasting
 Marketing
e.g. : product mix, advertising
 Production
e.g. capacity planning, inventory
 Simulation
e.g. production process, bank tellers etc.

CASE OF THE S.S. KUNIANG (FYI)
 Ship ran aground off the coast of Florida
 Owners wanted to sell it
 Coast guard was the authority
 NEES, a utility company; needs coal
 Buy ship or not? How much to bid?
20
DECISION
COMPLICATIONS
(FYI)
 Already has a $70 m, 36,250 ton self-loading; sister vessel?
 To have crane or not
 Crane would increase repair cost, but reduce turnaround time
 Coal from Egypt or PA?
Jones act
 Buy a barge?
Options are
Kuniang (w crane),
Kuniang (no crane),
General dynamics vessel, or
tug barge
21
DECISION CONSTRAINTS (FYI)
 Capacity of General Dynamics 2.5 m tons/yr
Needed capacity: 4 m tons/yr
 The Jones Act gave priority to the Kuniang in U.S. ports
if repair cost > than 3 times boat’s salvage value
 Affects round-trip time
 Decision hinges on whether the C.G. would value ship
> $ 5 million
 If ship valued > $5 million, install crane (+$36 m)
 Cargo capacity reduced to 40,000 tons, but round trip
time is decreased
 How much to bid?

Cash forecasting
Fire-fighting
Portfolio selection
Evaluate lending risk
Event scheduling
School location
Police beat
26
DATA MINING
27
DATA MINING
Search for relationships and global patterns that exist in
large databases but are hidden in the vast amounts of
data.
e.g. sequence/association, classification, and
clustering
28
 Predicting
the probability of default for consumer loans
 Predicting audience response to TV advertisements
 Predicting the probability that a cancer patient will respond
to radiation therapy.
 Predicting the probability that an offshore well is going to
produce oil
29
Sequence
Activities which occur after each other e.g. car and loan
Associations
activities/purchases which occur together e.g. bread and
jam.
Classification
An analysis to group data into classes e.g. pepsi and coke
drinkers

Systems to support unstructured decision making
by executives
32
EIS ARCHITECTURE
Medline
FedStats
EIS Workstation

Development time: about 1 month
Internal
Databases
Does more information lead to better
quality decisions?
33
EIS CAPABILITIES
Ease of use
Drill down capabilities- view data at increasing levels of
detail

COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS
(GDSS)
35
COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS
An interactive computer based system
which facilitates solution of
unstructured problems by a set of D.M.
working together as a group.
Other terms - GDSS, Electronic Meeting Systems.
36
CURRENT BUSINESS TRENDS (FYI)
 More competition
 Shift towards flat/virtual organizations
 More mergers [industry consolidations]
 Globalization of markets and products
 More strategic alliances
Group D.M.
Is it necessary for org. decisions to be made in groups?
Why cannot it be handled by individuals?
37
CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUP D.M.
