Well that is typically my short timeline of my mid semester break.

Now back to the topic shall we?

Back - to - forth and now..

WELCOME TO UNIT 3 : STREAMING BUSINESS OPERATIONS !!!

Basicly, in Unit 3, you will learn decision enabling, problem solving, and opportunity seizing systems
in order to Stream the business operations.



Chapter 9 : Enabling the Organization in Decision Making

A.) Decision Making

Model - a simplified representation or abstraction of reality.
Example : It systems in an enterprise


Why should we enhance decision making information systems ?

It is because people need to analyze large amounts of  information, people must make decisions quickly, people must apply sophisticated analysis techniques, such as modeling and forecasting.

B.) Transaction Processing Systems

What is it?

The basic business systems that serves the operational level in an organization

It also relates with...

i.) Online Transaction Processing
The capturing of transaction and event information using technology to :
-  Process the information according to defines business rules
-  Store the information
-  Update existing information to reflect the new information

ii.) Online Analytical Processing
The manipulation of information to create business intelligence in support of strategic decision making.

C.) Decision Support Systems (DSSs)

What is it ?

Models information to support managers and business professionals during the decision making process. There are also 3 quantitative models used by DSSs which are :

- Sensitivity Analysis
The study of the impact that changes in one parts of the model have on other parts of the model.

- What if Analysis
Checks the impact of a change in an assumption on the proposed solution.

- Goal seeking analysis
Finds the inputs necessary to achieve a goal such as a desired level of output.




D.) Executive Information Systems (EISs)

What is it?

A specialized DSSs that supports senior level executives within the organization. It also offer its capabilities as follows :

-  Consolidation
Involves the aggregation of information and features simple roll-ups to complexgroupings of interrelated information.

- Drill-down
Enables users to get details, and details of details, of information.
Example : From regional sales data then drill down to each sales representatives at each office.

- Slice and Dice
Looks information from different perspective
Example : One slice of information could display all product sales during a given promotion, another slice could display a single product's sales for all promotions,

- Digital Dashboards
Integrates information from multiple components and presents it in a unified display.



E.) Artificial Intelligence (AI)



What is AI ?

Stimulates human intelligence such as the ability to reason and learn. Its ultimate goal as well is the ability to build a system that can mimic human intelligence.

Relates with...
Intelligent system - various commercial applications of artificial intelligence.

The common categories of AI includes

- Expert System
Computerized advisory programs that imitate the reasoning processes of experts in solving difficult problems.

- Neural Network
Attempts to emulate the way the human brain works.
Example :
- Finance industry uses neural network to review loan applications and create patterns and profiles of applications that fall into two categories which is either denied or approved.
- Fuzzy Logic is where a mathematical method of handling imprecise or subjective information.

- Genetic Algorithm
An artificial intelligent system that mimics the evolutionary, survival-of-the-fittest process to generate increasingly better solutions to a problem.

- Intelligent Agent
Special purposed knowledge based information system that accomplishes specific tasks on behalf of its users.

F.) Data Mining

A software that includes many forms of AI such as neural network and expert systems


The common forms of data mining are...

- Cluster Analysis
A technique used to divide an information set into mutually exclusive groups such that members of each group are as close together as possible to one another and the different groups are as far apart as possible. CRM systems depend on cluster analysis to segment customer information and identify behavioral traits.

- Association Detection
Reveals the degree to which variables are related and the nature and frequency of these relationships in the information. Market basket analysis is where it analyzes such items as Websites and checkout scanner information to detect customers buying behavior and predict future behavior by identifying affinities among customers choices of products and services,

- Statistical Analysis'
Performs such functions as information correlations, distributions, calculations, and variance analysis.
Example :
- Forecast
predictions made on the basis of time-series information
- Time-series information
Time stamped information collected at a particular frequency .
