TOMAS - REAL TIME BUSINESS
MANAGEMENT
|
TOMAS makes possible:
-
AUTOMATIC MATERIAL
FLOW CONTROL, i.e. sinchronization of sales delivery due dates,
inventories, orders to vendors and production work orders release.
-
IMMEDIATE INSIGHT
into
operations of any part of the organization, what happens now, last few
sconds or minutes.
-
IMMEDIATE IMPLEMENTATION
OF ORGANIZATIONAL DECISIONS in all parts of the organization
(price policy changes, accounting practice etc).
-
PERMANENT AND
COMPREHENSIVE INSIGHT INTO PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE and
decision support by means of modern management techniques.
Hence, TOMAS enables real time management,
i.e. most effective one, with no delays and not only support of administrative
functions.
All this is achieved with low cost
and easy to use system, without
special requirements.
This is achieved thru the following
properties of TOMAS:
-
comprehensive -
supports all relevant business functions
-
integrality - TOMAS
is truly integral solution, rather than set of partial applications, so
that once entered transactions reflects on all aspects of business, without
data transfer from one application to another, hence with no delay and
inconsistencies.
-
the whole database and informationbase
are actually in one place, so
there is no need to transfer data from one computer to another, again with
delay and potential inconsistency.
-
advanced management science techniques
have been implemented (knowledge base, optimizations, simulations,
analytical models etc.)
-
speed of operations with several thousands
database accesses/sec - without this speed the concepts buildt into
TOMAS wouldnt be possible and only TOMAS achieves this speed on the low
cost equipment, due to TOMAS' special development techniques.
TOMAS is the
single solution on the market with this kind of capabilities. For all other
information systems it is characteristic:
-
consist out of several partial solutions
for various business functions
-
the purpose is mainly to support administrative
functions and for lower levels of employees
-
the data are held on more than one
computer; from time to time, these data are (partialy) collected in smaller
nr. of computers, hence, the data are permanently fragmented by applications
and computers.
The consequence
is:
-
dupplications and inconsistencies of
data
-
delays of needed information for decision
support
-
inadequate organization due to limitations
imposed to management by information system (material code system,
price policies, inventories etc are fragmented)
-
unsufficient information for decision
support
-
alltogether,
management never has complete and up to date business indicators, so the
management is less effective.
