Distributed Control System (DCS)
Published in Chanchal Dey, Sunit Kumar Sen, Industrial Automation Technologies, 2020
Management Information System (MIS) refers to the processing of information through computers and other intelligent devices to manage and support managerial decisions within an organization. Ethernet is used for file transfer and information communication among operator station, engineering station, and other general purpose Ethernet instruments. Ethernet communication is usually performed via an Ethernet card mounted in a computer or a server. Ethernet is defined as IEEE 802.3 standards, which state the physical and data link layer specifications for Ethernet. Present high-speed IEEE 802.3 standards are:1000 Base-SX (IEEE 802.3z) – 1 Gigabit Ethernet running over multimode fiber-optic cable.1000 Base-LX (IEEE 802.3z) – 1 Gigabit Ethernet running over single-mode fiber.10 GBase-T (802.3.an) – 10 Gbps connections over category 5e, 6, and 7 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables.

Management information systems (MIS) support management at all levels within an organization by providing them with data and information based on both current and historical records, from which informed and detailed decisions can be made. MIS is typically based on internal data. Examples of this include: financial statusperformance and productivity levelsweekly, monthly, quarterly forecasts and trend analysissales targets and figures.
Application

All these activities require information gathering and communication. A computerized management information system (MIS) helps in taking decisions and implementing them. Performance of the system can be monitored regularly, and corrective actions could be taken quickly when faults are detected. Management decisions need to be communicated efficiently to people in charge of operations. This is best done by automating the work-flow. Workflow refers to the flow of information in an organization. In an ideal situation, information should flow seamlessly from one person or department to the next without any physical exchange of papers. The flow of information can be tracked, and bottlenecks can be identified.

In decision-making, institutions may have to make quick decisions without sufficient data. This situation can put pressure on decision-making levels that change rapidly and carry more risks. In this context, information has become a vital component and a critical resource in the management of an organization and especially in the decision-making process. Businesses need well-designed information systems to monitor and control the activities they carry out and to solve emerging problems. In addition, businesses expect their decision processes to be data-driven in order to gain insight into the future. Management information systems (MIS) is recognized as a professional and applied discipline that focuses on the strategic, managerial, and operational applications of many forms of information technology at the societal, corporate, group, and individual levels. MIS has an interdisciplinary structure directly or indirectly affecting many disciplines or being affected by these disciplines. MIS mainly includes cognitive psychology, computer science, economics, management, operational research, organizational philosophy, and engineering concepts and continues to develop in interaction with these disciplines.1,2 MIS enables organizations to make timely and effective decisions about planning, managing, and controlling the activities they are responsible for. In addition, MIS is a system that uses structured procedures to provide information based on data from both internal and external sources to management at all functions and at all levels.3 MIS has no universally accepted definition.4 It is naturally quite difficult to determine the exact lines of the MIS field, which is associated with many different fields, from industry to health, computer science to business.
