Islam has authorized us to make a report on “Implementation of management information

system on Navana Builders LTD”. Our main objective was to learn about implementation

of management information system in Bangladesh from practical field. At first, we have

selected an organization then we have prepared a question paper by some questions. We

have contacted with Mr. Abdul Latif Khan (APC), Mr. Saidul Islam Sr. Executive (MIS)

for collecting data of Navana Builders LTD.

At the start, in businesses and other organizations, internal reporting was made manually

and only periodically, as a by-product of the accounting system and with some additional

statistic(s), and gave limited and delayed information on management performance.

Previously, data had to be separated individually by the people as per the requirement and

necessity of the organization. Later, data and information was distinguished and instead

of the collection of mass of data, important and to the point data that is needed by the

organization and was stored.

In their infancy, business computers were used for the practical business of computing

the payroll and keeping track of accounts payable and accounts receivable As

5 | P a g e

applications were developed that provided managers with information about sales,

inventories, and other data that would help in managing the enterprise, the term "MIS"

arose to describe these kinds of applications

3.0 Navana’s MIS

3.1 Overview of MIS

At the start, in businesses and other organizations, internal reporting was made manually

and only periodically, as a by-product of the accounting system and with some additional

statistic(s), and gave limited and delayed information on management performance.

Previously, data had to be separated individually by the people as per the requirement and

necessity of the organization. Later, data and information was distinguished and instead

of the collection of mass of data, important and to the point data that is needed by the

organization and was stored.

In their infancy, business computers were used for the practical business of computing

the payroll and keeping track of accounts payable and accounts receivable As

applications were developed that provided managers with information about sales,

inventories, and other data that would help in managing the enterprise, the term "MIS"

arose to describe these kinds of applications. Today, the term is used broadly in a number

of contexts and includes (but is not limited to): decision support systems, resource and

people management applications, project management and database retrieval application.

10 | P a g e

3.2 Definition of MIS

An 'MIS' is a planned system of the collecting, processing, storing and disseminating data

in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of management. In a way it is

a documented report of the activities those were planned and executed.

3.3 Navana’s Management Information System

In Navana, all data of a project are stored in their MIS. Specially, we can talk about

lands, constructions, sales and human resources.

Land: Papers & documents of Rajuk, land owner info. , land agreements are

stored and preserved in MIS database.

Construction: Progress info. , project current status, material requisitions are take

place in MIS database.

Sales: Rate chart, client info, and sales info are maintained and stored by MIS.

Human Resource Management: Employee info (official, personal or any

respective info.), payroll system of HR are also keep in MIS database.

11 | P a g e

As definition of management information system, while management needs any

subsidiary documents or any query or any other information, then Navana’s MIS submits

or delivers that information to the authority.

4.0 Input, Process & OutputAs, Navana is a big organization with several departments, so, we just go for its sales

department. Below we have just discussed about the sales input, processing and output on

MIS.

5.0 Technology Features

5.1 Software

Total software can be divided into 2 parts. They are-

1. Main Server software.

2. Client PC’s software.

Main server’s software is also divided into many parts. They are-

Operating System

16 | P a g e

Database

Exchange Server

Domain/Workgroup- Domain

Others

Operating System: In main server’s operating system, they use Windows Server

2008 software. Windows Server 2008 is one of Microsoft Windows' server lines

of operating systems. Released to manufacturing on February 4, 2008, and

officially released on February 27, 2008.

Database: Navana’s database is maintained by Microsoft SQL Server 2008.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational model database server produced by

Microsoft. Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.

Exchange Server: There is another name of exchange server is “Internal mail

server” that is maintained by Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Microsoft

Exchange Server is a messaging and collaborative software product developed by

Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Servers line of server products and is widely

used by enterprises using Microsoft infrastructure solutions. Exchange's major

features consist of electronic mail, calendaring, contacts and tasks; support for

mobile and web-based access to information; and support for data storage.

Domain/Workgroup- Domain: Between Domain and Workgroup, Navana use

Domain in their main server. A domain name is an identification label that defines

a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on

the Domain Name System (DNS).

Others: The other organizational software which are used in main server that is

made by their MIS dept.

Client PC’s software are dived into 3 parts. They are-

17 | P a g e

Operating System: In client PC’s operating system; they use Windows XP

professional and Windows 7. Windows XP is a line of operating systems

produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and

business desktops, laptops, and media centers. It was released in 2001. The name

"XP" is short for "eXPerience". On the other hand, Windows 7 is the latest public

release version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by

Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops,

laptops; notebooks, tablet PCs, and media center PCs.

Organizational Software: The organizational software which are used in main

server that is made by their MIS dept.

Others: In other software, they use MS Office 2003, MS office 2007. Microsoft

Office is an office suite of interrelated desktop applications, servers and services

for the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

5.2 Network

A computer network allows sharing of resources and information among devices

connected to the network. Computer networks can be classified according to the

hardware and software technology that is used to interconnect the individual devices

in the network, such as Optical fiber, Ethernet, Wireless LAN, HomePNA, Power line

communication.

Scale

18 | P a g e

Networks are often classified as Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network

(WAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Personal Area Network (PAN), Virtual

Private Network (VPN), Campus Area Network (CAN), Storage Area Network

(SAN), etc. depending on their scale, scope and purpose.

In Navana Builders LTD., they use Metropolitan Area Network. A metropolitan area

network (MAN) is a network that connects two or more local area networks or

campus area networks together but does not extend beyond the boundaries of the

immediate town/city. Routers, switches and hubs are connected to create a

metropolitan area network.

Network topology

Computer networks may be classified according to the network topology upon which

the network is based, such as bus network, star network, ring network, mesh network,

star-bus network, tree or hierarchical topology network. Network topology signifies

the way in which devices in the network see their logical relations to one another. The

use of the term "logical" here is significant. That is, network topology is independent

of the "physical" layout of the network.

In Navana, they have STAR topology, because their computers are connected each

other with hubs and switches.

5.3Devices

Optical Fiber: An optical fiber (or fiber) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light

along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering

concerned with the design and application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely

used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances

and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communications.

19 | P a g e

Media Converter: Fiber media converters are simple networking devices that make

it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic

cabling. They were introduced to the industry nearly two decades ago, and are

important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling-based systems with existing copper-

based, structured cabling systems. They are also used in MAN access and data

transport services to enterprise customers.

Network Switch: A network switch is a computer networking device that connects

network segments. It is a network bridge that processes and routes data at the data

link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the

network layer (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or

multilayer switches.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable: UTP cable is also the most common cable

used in computer networking. Ethernet, the most common data networking standard,

utilizes UTP cables. Twisted pair cabling is often used in data networks for short and

medium length connections because of its relatively lower costs compared to optical

fiber and coaxial cable.

Connector: Connector is a device that attaches a cable to the computer, switch, hub

or any other devices.

5.4 Communication System:

Internal System: In Navana the internal communication system is basically based

on their internal network which is linked up 3 administrative buildings. But, there are

also some ways to do internal communication. They are-

Exchange mail: By using MS Exchange Server 2003, the employees are

connected with server through providing user name and password. Then, they can

open their mail box where they can see new messages, send new messages, check

previous messages or also can do scheduling. It is normally used for internal

formal communication.

Intercom: Employees are also use intercom to do verbal communication inside

the organization.

External System: For external communication, they are provided cell phone by the

organization. By that, they can contact with various stakeholders. Grameen Phone is

a corporate partner of Navana.

6.0 Importance of Management Information System

23 | P a g e

The overall purpose of MIS is to provide profitability and related information to help

managers and staffs understand business performance and plan its future direction.

IMPORTANCE OF MIS:

MIS is always management oriented and keeps in view every level of

management and gets the desired information.

Integrated - refers to how diff components (sub systems) are actually

tied up together. e.g.: diff departments of organization linked together.

Useful for planning - as every organization makes log-term and short-

term plans with the help of information like sales & production, capital

investments, stocks etc management can easily plan..

Effective MIS helps the management to know deviations of actual

performance from pre-set targets and control things.

It’s important for increasing efficiency.

MIS provides updated results of various departments to management.

MIS is highly computerized so it provides accurate results.

MIS adds to the intelligence, alertness, awareness of managers by

providing them information in the form of progress and review reports

of an ongoing activity.

Helps managers in decision- making.

24 | P a g e

7.0 Conclusion & Recommendation

7.1 Recommendation:

1. E-business: Electronic business, commonly referred to as "e-business", may be

defined as the utilization of information and communication technologies (ICT) in

support of all the activities of business. It will be possible for Navana, if they

maintain web base MIS system.

2. Outer Dhaka:

a. Online networking system: If they go for establishing corporate office

outside Dhaka, then the existing network system will be much costly to

maintain MIS. In that case, they can turn their existing network system to

online networking system.

b. Web based application: In that case, they have to install web based

application and software.

7.2 Conclusion:

A management information system (MIS) is a subset of the overall internal controls

of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies, and

procedures by management accountants to solve business problems such as costing a

product, service or a business-wide strategy. Management information systems are

distinct from regular information systems in that they are used to analyze other

information systems applied in operational activities in the organization.

Academically, the term is commonly used to refer to the group of information

management methods tied to the automation or support of human decision making,

e.g. Decision Support Systems, Expert systems, and Executive information systems.
