- 3. Decision Support System • A computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. • OR • Interactive computer-based systems, which help decision makers utilize data and models to solve unstructured problems. [Gorry and Scott-Morton (1971)] • OR • Decision support systems couple the intellectual resources of individuals with the capabilities of the computer to improve the quality of decisions. It is a computer-based support system for management decision makers who deal with semi-structured problems.

- 7. Basic Themes of DSS • Information system. • Used by managers for making decisions. • Used to support, not to replace people. • Used when the decision is "semi-structured" or "unstructured." • Incorporate a database of some sort. • Incorporate models. DSS,UniversityofEducation OkaraCampus 7
- 8. Taxonomy of DSS 1. A communication-driven DSS supports more than one person working on a shared task; examples include integrated tools like Google Docs or Groove 2. A data-driven DSS or data-oriented DSS emphasizes access to and manipulation of a time series of internal company data and, sometimes, external data. 3. A document-driven DSS manages, retrieves, and manipulates unstructured information in a variety of electronic formats. 4. A knowledge-driven DSS provides specialized problem-solving expertise stored as facts, rules, procedures, or in similar structures. 5. 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. Dicodess is an example of an open source model- driven DSS generator. (Created by Daniel Power) DSS,UniversityofEducation OkaraCampus 8

- 11. Applications Cont.Applications Cont. • Clinical decision support system for medical diagnosis. • An engineering firm that has bids on several projects and wants to know if they can be competitive with their costs. • DSS is extensively used in business and management. Executive dashboards and other business performance software allow faster decision making, identification of negative trends, and better allocation of business resources. • A growing area of DSS application, concepts, principles, and techniques is in agricultural production, marketing for sustainable development. • A DSS can be designed to help make decisions on the stock market, or deciding which area or segment to market a product toward.

- 13. Characteristics & CapabilitiesCharacteristics & Capabilities • The key DSS characteristics and capabilities are as follows: 1. Support for decision makers in semi-structured and unstructured problems. 2. Support managers at all levels. 3. Support individuals and groups. 4. Support for interdependent or sequential decisions. 5. Support intelligence, design, choice, and implementation. 6. Support variety of decision processes and styles. 7. DSS should be adaptable and flexible. 8. DSS should be interactive ease of use. 9. Effectiveness, but not efficiency. 10. Complete control by decision-makers. 11. Ease of development by end users. 12. Support modeling and analysis. 13. Data access. 14. Standalone, integration and Web-based DSS,UniversityofEducation OkaraCampus 13
