3. Describe the impact of IS and give your own reflection (300 words)
The information system has been helpful because they can easily control the stocks they are distributing. There is a fair and equal or efficient distribution of the stocks. The production had learned to reuse the excess stocks before they could ask for another one. Before the plant supervisors never have to worry about how much stock they had, they have now because the system works that way. The system needs to know what they are using, how much they use, when they use it so they can tell the warehouse what to give them. Because production supervisors never been used to keeping their stocks and they are finding that sort of thing very difficult for them.  With the new system, they can actually look at a transaction  and, quite easily, see who’s actually entered it. They can easily trace who is to blame. And know if that person have the authority or not. The information system had help the warehouse to make it a lot easier for them to track down who’s been responsilble for doing something. The MIS have a plan in replacing it a new system because some of them could not actually work with the system. The MIS had the wrong move or process in changing the system because, first they should have looked at the warehouse, then they should have looked at the production and then they should have designed the system, not made changes and then look at production and then look at the warehouse which is what they did. They tackle on problems but there are some undermining of the new system.
I guess the one that fully understands about the system was the warehouse, it was an advantage for them in using the system. the advantage is in the production because the system can only produse what amount or number of stocks they need. They can no longer ask anytime and they are also disciplined to use the stocks more effiecient. they have to reuse and recycle stocks instead of throwing it in the trash.The production have a hard time in understanding and familiariazing about the system. the system had helped the production to be productive in an efficient way.
