 AS 400 BASIS (Beverages Advance Standard Information System) version 2003

It is not graphical user interface. It is more like DOS and uses query language.

 SAP (System Application Product)

It is a graphical user interface and uses query language.

 Margin Minder

It is also a graphical user interface and it does not use query language.

IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS WHICH COKE WAS FACING BEFORE
IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS INFORMATION SYSTEM

1. It will take more time wasting when there is no information system and now it is quicker
take no wastage of time, it is highly quicker.
2. Problems in coordination with other departments head office and other branch offices.
3. Problems in coordination between different departments finance, human resources,
marketing, information technology.
4. Problems in data collections.
5. Problems in forecasting.
6. They do not have enough memory to store or collect the data.
7. Data is stayed to the limited department no other department can use the same data at
same time.

HOW INFORMATION SYSTEM HELP THE ORGANIZATION IN SOLVING THE

PROBLEMS BEING FACED EARLIER?

Information is the lifeblood of any organization. Damaged or lost data can cause problems being
faced earlier in normal business activities leading to financial losses, law suits, etc. An
information system also helps to improve integration and work processes. An information system
owes its existence to the target system. For example, production activities would be the target
system for a production scheduling information system. The main functions of an information
system may be input, processing, output, storage and control at work place. The major benefit is
it reduces the wastage of time.

SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS IN THE EXISTING SYSTEM?

There should be wireless network instead of lan connections and cable networks so that we can
contact the other plants of coke in different cities of Pakistan where there is no facility of lan and
cable networks. There should be introduced wireless networks to minimize the wastage of
time .Additional objective is to model and construct functional prototypes of software tools
aimed to support project management, IS planning, production and maintenance of quality
applications. The ultimate goal of the project is to define a framework for decision support
during the whole IS life cycle and to develop methods and CASE tools that can increase
efficiency of development and quality of software products. The research is focused on revealing
of knowledge insufficiently or inadequately used to solve the problems affected by lack of that
knowledge. The expected results are models, methods and tools validated in practice. Many
Croatian institutions have obsolete and inadequate information systems and quality
computerisation of government institutions is yet to begin. In the near future, one may expect a
series of information system restructuring and information system development projects. Interest
must be focused on special knowledge and development tools that can improve the chances for
successful development. Additional attention should be paid to methods and tools that cannot be
acquired on the market, to inadequate methods and tools, and to software that is unacceptably
expensive, in order to consider and propose quality substitutes. Implementation of findings
would increase the success of development projects, make Croatia more competitive on the
world market and contribute to significant savings.

CONCLUDE THE ASIGNMENT WITH A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHAT YOU

LEARNT OUT OF THIS EXERCISE.

We have learnt that information system is the need of companies because it provides us the
information relevant to the data without the wastage of time. It is very efficient system; it also
helps in the coordination of different departments of same company. It also reduces time and just
provides the relevant information which is need and it also reduces paper work. Through
information system we can follow when the user can quickly access, understand and respond
correctly to that information. Information systems can be powerful tools for business. Often
information systems evolve as your business grows. Information systems are rarely out-of-the-
box solutions; they are something that grows with you. It is therefore very important that your
systems technology allows you to have this path to build upon. You must be able to control the
technology and not be locked into a standard boxed solution that only its manufacturers control.
You get no assurance that their upgrades will be in line with your business needs of the future.
Don’t get locked into inflexible technology, grow a system that delivers on what you really need
most today, knowing that when tomorrow’s new challenges come, the system will have the
flexibility to adapt.
