Study Notes
Transaction Processing Systems (TPS)
- Capture and process detailed data for updating an organization's records
- Include vital business operations such as order entry, inventory control, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger.
- TPS output is valuable input for management information systems, decision support systems, and knowledge management systems.
Traditional Transaction Processing Methods
- Batch Processing System: Transactions are accumulated over a period of time and then processed as a single unit. This method leads to a delay between the event and the processing of the transaction for updating the records.
- Online Transaction Processing (OLTP): Transactions are processed immediately, ensuring data reflects the current status at any given time.
Objectives of Traditional Transaction Processing Methods
- Capture, process, and update databases accurately and completely
- Prevent fraudulent transactions
- Provide timely user responses and reports
- Reduce clerical and labor requirements
- Enhance customer service
- Achieve competitive advantage
Enterprise Systems
- An enterprise system is central to various individuals and organizations of all sizes
- Supports the running and managing of businesses by sharing information across all business functions and management levels
- Ultimately focuses on satisfying customers by reducing costs and improving services
- Supports daily activities in areas like product supply and distribution, sales and marketing, human resources, manufacturing, accounting, and taxes.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- A set of integrated programs that manage a company's vital business operations for an entire organization
- Focuses on standardizing and improving an organization's business processes
- Provides a single, integrated view of the business to various organizational functions
Advantages of ERP
- Improved access to quality data for informed decision-making
- Elimination of costly and inflexible legacy systems
- Enhancement of work processes
- Opportunity to upgrade and standardize technological infrastructure
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- A system that focuses on improving business relationships with customers
- Helps organizations identify, attract, and retain customers
- Leverages customer data to enhance customer satisfaction
- Implements various customer service and support channels
- Uses information to improve marketing campaigns and product development efforts
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
- Creates a common repository of product information and processes
- Supports collaborative creation, management, dissemination, and use of product and packaging information
- PLM software manages data and processes associated with various phases of a product's lifecycle
- The scope of PLM software can encompass computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).
Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Engineering (CAE), and Manufacturing (CAM)
- CAD: Uses software to assist in creating, analyzing, and modifying the design of a component or product
- CAE: Uses software to analyze the robustness and performance of components and assemblies
- CAM: Utilizes software to control machine tools and related machinery in the manufacturing of components and products
Summary
- Organizations need systems that support both routine daily activities and add value to products and services
- Implementing an enterprise system builds a highly integrated network improving business operations
