Decision support system (DSS)

DSS is a computer-based system similar to management information systems (MIS) but it overcomes the lack of information that is not present the reports generated by the MIS.

  • MIS is the system that gives the information required by the different level of the organization and also helps the managers of the middle-level to organize the resource.
  • Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) can also be involved in some of the DSS. It is used to make query and analyze the data stored in the data mart and databases.
  • OLAP utilize the set of tools to create queries and to give the data in a multidimensional view.
  • For example, the general manager who is in charge of 100 stores can collect the information of sales of all stores to in order to identify the current preferences of the customer.

Types of DSS analysis techniques:

  • What-If Analysis
  • Sensitivity Analysis
  • Goal-Seeking Analysis
  • Optimization Analysis

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
