Types Of Dss
Systems
All systems have Inputs, outputs and feedback mechanisms maintain an internal steady state despite a changing external environment(homeostasis) display properties that are different than the whole but are not possessed by any of the individual elements(emergent properties) boundaries that are usually defined by the system observer
Types of System
Basically system is divided into two types
Closed System
Systems that do not interact with the environment and are not influenced by its surroundings
Open System real-world systems whose boundaries allow exchanges of energy, material and information with the larger external environment or system in which they exist.
Model
A model is basically a representation of the properties and functions of a system and, in some cases, prediction of future outcomes. Models are often used in quantitative analysis and technical analysis, and sometimes
Benefits of Modeling
Modeling helps in Viewing detailed analysis of individual components of a system. Viewing system from multiple perspectives. Improving system understanding through visual analysis Discovering errors and reducing system defects
Types Of DSS
There are seven types of Dss Systems Suggestion systems Optimization systems Representational models Accounting models Analysis information systems Data analysis systems File drawer systems
Accounting Models
Use internal accounting data Provide accounting modeling capabilities Can not handle uncertainty Use s Bill of Material calculate production cost
Representational Model
Can incorporate uncertainty uses models to solve decision problem using forecasts Can be used to augment the capabilities of Accounting models Use the demand data to forecast next years demand Use the results to make inventory decisions.
Optimization Systems
Used to estimate the effects of different decision alternative Based on optimization models Can incorporate uncertainty Assign sales force to territory Provide the best assignment schedule
Suggestion Systems
A descriptive model used to suggest to the decision maker the best action A prescriptive model used to suggest to the decision maker the best action May incorporate an Expert System Applicant applies for personal loan use the system to recommend a decision
Model-Driven Dss
A model-driven DSS emphasizes access to and manipulation of a statistical, financial, optimization, or simulation model. Model-driven DSS use data and parameters provided by users to assist decision makers in analyzing a situation; they are not necessarily data intensive. Other examples: A spread-sheet with formulas in A statistical forecasting model An optimum routing model
Benefits
Improving personal efficiency Expediting problem solving Facilitating communication Promoting learning Increasing control

which various people with different perspectives can organize and view
the fundamental building blocks of information systems.
Stakeholders have different views of the system and each has something at stake in determining the success of the system.

knowledge.
They are essential components of knowledge management systems.
DSS Components
DSS relies on model bases and databases.
A DSS model base is a software component that contains all the models
used to develop applications to run the system. DSS uses models to manipulate data.
Ex: If you have some historic sales data, you can use many different types
of models to create a forecast of future sales.
DSS Components
DSS software is a collection of software tools that are used for data analysis or a collection of mathematical and analytical models. There can be 3 different types of modeling software for DSSs:
statistical models,
optimization models,
forecasting models.
DSS Components
To lay out a DSS architecture one must consider the spectrum of DSS that

If the DSS architecture allows the needs in all these categories, it will be sufficiently
comprehensive and robust to stand to test of time. The DSS architecture must reflect
the following elements. Database or Databases Model or Models
