APPLICATION AREASPage 182 Figure 6.1 Types of Application SystemsIntraorganizational SystemsEnterprise systems support all or most of the organizationManagerial support systems support a specific manager or group of managers
CRITICAL CONCEPTSBatch Processing versus Online ProcessingBatch Processing group (or batch) of transactions are accumulated, then processed all at one time Figure 6.2 Batch Processing (simplified)Page 183
CRITICAL CONCEPTSBatch Processing versus Online Processing Figure 6.3 Online ProcessingOnline Processing each transaction is entered directly into computer when it occursPage 183
CRITICAL CONCEPTSPage 183 Figure 6.1 Types of Application SystemsInteractive system a fully functional online system where computer quickly provides a user response In-line system provides for online data entry, but processing of transactions deferred for batch processingBatch Processing versus Online Processing
CRITICAL CONCEPTSPage 184Functional information systems information systems framework based on organizations primary business functionsFunctional Information Systems
CRITICAL CONCEPTSPage 184Vertically integrated information system serves more than one vertical level in an organization or industryVertical Integration of Systems
CRITICAL CONCEPTSPage 185Distributed systems mode of delivery where processing power is distributed to multiple sites, which are then tied together via telecommunication linesClient-server system a type of distributed system where processing power is distributed between a central server computer and a number of client computers (usually PCs)Distributed Systems and Client/Server Systems
CRITICAL CONCEPTSHandles user interface Accesses distributed services through a networkPage 185Client/Server SystemsClientRuns on bigger machineHandles data storage for applications DatabasesWeb pagesGroupware ServerMiddlewareSoftware to support clients and server interactionMicrosoft Windows 2003 ServerNovell NetWareUNIX, Linux

CRITICAL CONCEPTSPage 186Fat client/thin server most processing done on clientThin client/fat server most processing done on serverNote:Web and groupware servers usually thin clientsDatabase servers usually thin serversClient/Server Systems
TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEMSPage 186-187Process thousands of transactions each day in most organizationsExamples: sales, payments made and received, inventory shipped and received, paying employeesTypical outputs: invoices, checks, orders, reportsCritical to business operations
TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEMSPage 187Payroll System Figure 6.4 Components of a Payroll System
TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEMSPage 188Order Entry System Figure 6.5 Online Order Entry System
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMSPage 188-189Also include transaction processing systemsSet of integrated business applications (modules) that carry out common business functions:General ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, material requirements planning, order management, inventory control, human resources managementUsually purchased from software vendor
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMSPage 189How they differ:ERP modules are integratedERP modules reflect a particular way of doing business
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMSPage 190Choosing right software and implementation difficult and expensiveRequires large investment of money and people resourcesLeading ERP software vendors:SAPPeopleSoft, Inc. (bought J.D. Edwards) OracleBaan
DATA WAREHOUSINGPage 192Is the establishment and maintenance of a large data storage facility containing data on all (or at least many) aspects of the enterpriseProvides users data access and analysis capabilities without endangering operational systems
DATA WAREHOUSINGPage 192-193Establishing a data warehouse:Is time-consuming and expensiveRequires software tools to:Construct warehouseOperate warehouseAccess and analyze data from the warehouse

INTRANETSPage 206Advantages:Implementation is relatively easyE-mail and document sharing available to all in the organizationWeb browser acts as universal client that works with heterogeneous platformsLittle, if any, user training requiredLow cost Intranet a network operating within an organization that employs the TCP/IP protocol used on the Internet
INTRANETSPage 206-207Extranet an Internet-based application that permits key trading partners to access another organizations intranetPortal software that provides intranets with a structure and easier access to internal information via a Web browser
FACTORY AUTOMATIONPage 207-208Factory automation involves numerically controlled machines, which use a computer program or a tape with punched holes, to control movement of tools on machines Material requirements planning (MRP) uses data input to produce a production schedule for the factory and a schedule of needed raw materialsComputer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) includes MRP functions, but also has the compute carry out the schedules through control of various machines involved
FACTORY AUTOMATIONPage 208 Table 6.1 Abbreviations Used in Factory Automation
FACTORY AUTOMATIONComputer-aided design (CAD) use of two and three-dimensional computer graphics to create and modify engineering designsComputer-aided engineering (CAE) system that analyzes functional characteristics of a design and simulates the product performance under various conditionsGroup technology (GT) systems that logically group parts according to physical characteristics, machine routings, and other machine operationsComputer-aided process planning (CAPP) systems that plan the sequence of processes that produce or assemble a partPage 208Engineering Systems
FACTORY AUTOMATIONManufacturing resources planning (MRP II)A system that usually has three components:Master production scheduleMaterial requirements planningShop floor controlAttempts to implement just-in-time (JIT) productionDoes not directly control machines on the shop floorAn information system that tries to minimize inventory and employ machines efficiently and effectivelyPage 208Manufacturing Administration
FACTORY AUTOMATIONSupply chain management (SCM) Systems to deal with distribution and transportation of raw materials and finished products throughout the supply chainAre often interorganizationalPage 209Manufacturing Administration
FACTORY AUTOMATIONComputer-aided manufacturing (CAM) use of computers to control manufacturing processes Series of programs to control automated equipment on shop floorIncludes guiding vehicles to move raw materials and finished productsRequires a lot of input from other systems
