THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS: AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT THEM IN YOUR FACILITY

摘要

A management information system (MIS) is used to manage the print production process and should also be utilized for process optimization. Effective management of the business can be best achieved by having accurate and timely information about the facility's performance using the appropriate metrics. The input streams to the system need to be as automated as possible to ensure accurate/unbiased data is being collected and that this is happening in a timely manner. In considering the printing industry, there is still not a full adoption of MIS by printers, with only approximately 65% of printers currently having an MIS, and of those, less than half are what would be classified as good MIS implementations.
