A decision support system (DSS) provides tools that enable
managers to develop information in the manner that best
suits the decisions they are currently trying to make.
Unlike the MRS, which delivers specific types of
information in a pre-planed
format, the DSS provides the manager with the computing
and communications capabilities to develop his or her own
decision models, databases, and report formats. Decision
support systems often also focus on such areas as flexibility
in meeting a variety of continually changing needs. After
getting the data from TPS and MIS manager makes his
decisions on its basis. The manager can also forecast a
future trend on the basis of DSS. Present decisions
are based on past data that is available in the system.
