IE4425 Information Systems Engineering

[Audio] Good morning everyone it's a pleasure to be here. Today we are going to talk about Information Systems Engineering and how it can help support business processes. This presentation will cover topics such as Data Modeling Design Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Transaction Processing Management Support Document and Multimedia Management Systems and Geographic Information Systems. I'm looking forward to discussing these topics with you..

[Audio] For the IE4425 Information Systems Engineering class lecture slides and lab materials are the main reading resources and must be read before class. Quizzes and in-class assignments can be related to this material. Additionally check the slide notes for more information. Lectures will focus on going over examples case studies and answering questions. Labs will begin next week so please be ready..

[Audio] We'll be looking at data from various perspectives in Information Systems Engineering this semester. We'll analyze data devise models and engineer systems. We will also delve into Business Intelligence and employ Data Analytics strategies for deriving useful information from our data. So brace yourself for an exciting semester with ample chances to hone your data-processing capabilities..

[Audio] An Information System is a set of interrelated components designed to collect process store and disseminate information in order to support business processes of an organization. It includes people hardware software networks and technology. Conceptually these components consist of data data stores interfaces and business processes. There are four types of Information Systems: Transaction Processing Management Support Document & Multimedia Management Systems and Geographic Information Systems. Examining these components and types of information systems further can give us a better understanding of the system as a whole..

[Audio] Organizations are a cornerstone of many of our lives and it's important to understand the various types and structures of organizations and the categories of products they produce. Manufacturing companies may produce either discrete products such as toys and cars or process products such as chemicals and petrochemicals. Manufacturing may involve machining forming fabrication assembly and finishing operations. Job shops produce a variety of products with small batch sizes while flow lines are used for high volume low variation products. Process industries on the other hand produce bulk products such as chemicals or oil and gas which can be divided into continuous production runs and batch processes where the material is altered between each run. "Runs" must be completed and new material runs must be setup. Food processing is a prime example of this. This is a great topic to explore further and I'm looking forward to answering your questions..

[Audio] I am here to talk to you about Business functions. Business functions are a set of specific actions or tasks that are required for the organization to run. They are organized in functional groups that tend to be mirrored in the organization of the company like departments and units. For instance Finance & Administration handles the capital needs and strategic planning of the organization while Marketing focuses on identifying market opportunities creating and finessing product lines and managing the corporate branding. Product/Service Management is responsible for concept development product engineering and the R&D of specific items. Operations takes care of manufacturing or service operations. Support functions like Information Technology provide technical and software support among other things. This concludes my explanation..

[Audio] Organizational structure typically follows functional groupings. For example a manufacturer may have multiple departments like sales engineering and production. At L-S-U what would be the corresponding functional groups? Let us have a look. Here is an example of what it might look like though different organizations will have their own distinct names and functions..

[Audio] Business processes are an important concept in the world of business. A business process is a collection of activities or tasks that create a service or product. As these processes cross departments or teams it is important to ensure linkages and integrations between individual processes are in place so they can work together in the most optimal way. For example selling a product requires the collaboration of several different processes; sales distribution and inventory management. In order to create an efficient business it is important to understand how these processes are connected..

[Audio] We will be analyzing the terms used to describe Business Processes from an Information Systems Engineering perspective. A process is the overall set of activities involved in producing something for example 'Sales Process' or 'Procurement Process'. Workflows a discreet block of work can often be automated such as 'Fulfill Order'. Sub-process is a major block of work within a larger process and activities or procedures make up this process. Lastly a task is a single non-reducible step in an activity or workflow. An example of this is 'Check Credit Limit'. This concludes our discussion on the terms used in Business Processes..

[Audio] Today I am here to talk to you about IE4425 Information Systems Engineering. Specifically I will be discussing Sales Order Entry Production Process and Procurement Process. Sales Order Entry is used to register orders from customers. It's then checked for availability followed by the production process. This involves running M-P-S with M-R-P and then converting the production proposal. The schedule and release is then set to ensure that the process runs smoothly. The procurement process involves the pick of materials the purchase of requisition purchase order goods receipt and invoice receipt through to the payment of vendor and completion confirmation. Quality inspection order settlement goods issue also need to be taken into consideration. This provided the link between the sales person sales assistant production planner plant manager and the purchasing agent accounts payable shop foreman quality inspector warehouse worker and finally the sales process. In conclusion this is a brief overview of the various Information Systems Engineering processes..

[Audio] Today I'd like to discuss the importance of Information Systems in supporting product or service lifecycles. Every service or product has a lifecycle. In the beginning it begins by identifying the need for this service or product. Then comes the process of developing concepts designing the product and the service as well as the processes to make or deliver it. After that it will be deployed or sold. It also includes support upgrades and retirement. That's why information systems are essential in supporting all these activities. By creating an information system we can ensure that all these processes occur seamlessly..

[Audio] Enterprise Information Systems (E-I-S--) are used by organizations to manage and optimize business processes. Components of an E-I-S include Core Enterprise Systems ERP Systems Manufacturing Execution Systems and Production Control Process Control Distributed Control SCADA and IIoT Systems. These systems enable organizations to streamline processes increase efficiency and improve profits as well as enhance decision making customer satisfaction employee engagement and overall operational performance. Questions are welcome..
