    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

    • 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
