...------------------------------------------------- Traditional Information Systems Transaction processing system (TPS) Transaction processing was one of the first business processes to be computerized, thereby producing a system known as the TPS. The TPS serves as a foundation for the other information systems that may be present in an organisation (discussed later.) TPSs perform routine operations or transactions; e.g. customer orders, purchase orders, receipts, etc. The amount of support for decision making that TPSs directly provide managers and workers is low. These systems require a large amount of input data and produce a large amount of output without requiring sophisticated or complex processing. The TPS may be based on the functional structure of the organisation and may comprise, for example, order entry, inventory control, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, etc. The input data are the basic business transactions mentioned earlier (e.g. customer orders, purchase orders, receipts, time cards, invoices, and payroll checks. The two basic types of TPSs based on the processing type are batch processing system whereby business transactions are kept over a period of time and prepared for processing as a single unit or batch. The essential characteristic of a batch processing system is that there is some time lag between the moment the transaction occurs and the time it is processed and the organisation’s record updated.

...answer each of the following questions in 6-10 sentences. Provide a critical assessment based on the above article, text readings, scholarly research, and personal experience. Cite your resources using APA format. | How can a warehouse add value to the goods in storage? Warehouses are used to speed up the time it takes to move products out of storage and in return increase profit. There are many methods to increase the value of goods in storage, and when put together, the value increases further. Freight forwarding solutions can add value by upscaling goods. The warehouse will receive and then modify the product so it can be sold at a higher price to the consumer. To obtain positive results, the warehouse management must have sound control on the inventory system and train their employees to these unique standards. Another increase value method is by storing overflow product in the warehouse. The supplier should only use this solution for goods that can be forecasted for certain times of the year. The overflow storage solution allows large quantities of goods to be stored for an extended period and gives the utility to buffer between supply and demand. (Business, 2014) Distribution Hubs are another way to reduce the cost of freight forwarding. The process is performed by shipping larger quantities of goods once, which decreases the cost of shipping. The process is accomplished by centralizing distribution centers where large truck loads are filtered to smaller vehicles...

...the production process as part of product design and utilizing a concurrent engineering approach. Concurrent engineering, uses overlapping phases for product design rather than a sequential approach. This will work well if an NPD team is formed with representation from all major functions (marketing, engineering, operations, and finance&accounting) to ensure cross functional integration. Concurrent engineering also works best if paired with a design oriented NPD strategy. This type of strategy as illustrated below builds on the consumer’s needs – a competitive advantage by means of staying ahead of competitors because the customer’s needs are accurately read and acted upon through the creation of new products.
