Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

MIS DAILY-WEEKLY-MONTHLY STATISTICS

(MIS MODULE - 3/9/93)

Mgmt. Info. System

Every business must set targets (budgets) and must measure actual performance against those targets. The difference between the two (variance) is used as a feedback to the individuals within the System to take corrective action.

Even if it is difficult for the next $1/2$ years to set targets, we should at least decide upon

  • For which parameters we would one-day like to set the targets.

So that

even now, pending target setting, we already start compiling—the "ACTUAL / ACHIEVEMENT / PERFORMANCE" figures for those parameters and start plotting these graphically.1

In a nut-shell,2

If we compile and graphically plot last 3$2/3$ years (statistics), we would know the TREND for each item.4

We would also k5now inter-relationship, if any, between one

parameter and the other.

(e.g.)

A. No. of persons appointed is a function of (or directly proportional to)

  • a. Size of databank
  • b. No. of one-time statements sent
  • c. No. of bio-datas sent
  • d. No. of prelim. interviews held
  • e. No. of final interviews held
  • f. No. of call-letters sent
  • g. No. of appli./bio-datas recd.
  • h. No. of Clients
  • i. No. of pending Purchase Orders (Order backlog)
  • j. No. of Advt. released
  • k. No. of client inquiries

...etc-etc-


Another example

B. Size of Databank (Active) is a function of or directly proportional to

  1. No. of mailers sent out
  2. No. of "Birth-Day" greetings sent
  3. No. of "Unaudited Annual Reports" Collected
  1. No. of Advt. released.
  2. No. of Alumni Assoc. linked-up
  3. No. of Companies enrolled in IP CLUB
  4. No. of Databases tapped

e.g. - Diners Club Members

    • Membership Directories of Professional bodies
  1. No. of "associates" established in various towns

ORDER EXECUTION SUMMARY

PO No.

Purchase Order No.

Date

Client Name

Vacancy / Position

No. of Vac.

Advt. No.

Model Advt./ No. of A/D

Estimated Invoice Value

Status

Compl.

Pend.

This statement can be broken up into two separate statements as follows:

① Completed Order Statement

② Pending order statement

Last column "Status" would disappear. In its place will come a column for "Invoice Amnt / Cheque Amnt / Date" and "Cumulative* Invoice Value / Cumulative Payment Value."

$\rightarrow$ Last column will be replaced by "Cumulative Invoice Value" which is the same as "Cumulative Order Backlog Value."
