Answer 1

Answer:

Management information system (MIS)

Explanation:

Most manufacturing companies are organized into levels, with each level having different kinds of information systems. The four major types of systems placed on each organizational level include:

Transactional Processing System (TPS) – Business systems at this level serve at the lowest point of the operational level in an organization. It performs routine transactions like sales entry and payroll.

Management Information Systems – MIS transforms TPS inventory and production data into compressed formats and presented in detailed reports produced as per the agreed schedules to the managers. These reports can be served on a daily, hourly, or monthly basis.

Decision-Support Systems (DSS) – Managers at this level are majorly responsible for making unique and rapidly changing decisions

ESS – It is the strategic level in an organization. Top senior managers use this level to make non-routine decisions that require insight and a lot of judgment.
