Guidelines for evaluating the management information systems of industrial enterprises
Segura, Edilberto
These guidelines are intended to assist in evaluating the adequacy of the management information systems (MIS) of industrial enterprises. The introduction discusses the ojectives of a management information system and suggests how to use the guidelines. The guidelines are divided into five parts corresponding to the five functions of the enterprise: (i) finance and accounting; (ii) human resources; (iii) marketing, distribution and transportation; (iv) operations, including production, materials management and maintenance; and (v) new investments and procurement. For each of these functions, the guidelines will help evaluate the impact on the company's MIS of the business environment and management framework, as well as the adequacy of the company's systems for strategic planning, tactical planning, management control and transaction recording processes. In addition, a section is provided to help quantify the evaluation of the MIS. Furthermore, the guidelines are meant to assist in evaluating the MIS systems of its potential borrowers, but not intended to establish the Bank's requirements regarding MIS under its loans and credits. They may, however, prove of use to some enterprise managers in their own internal evaluation processes.
