Executive Summary

A change in the management information systems in the organization needs to be reviewed for improved performance and proper decision making within the company. The disorganization in the company leads to poor decision making and the loss of money and time in the company. The poor decisions made affect the company performance and also outs the company at the bottom when it comes to the competitiveness among its competitors.

Scientific management is considered a managing science that entails decision making. In order to achieve a particular objective, scientific management utilizes what is convenient and also tries to envisage what is not controllable or convenient. The methodology adopted in this research is empirical research. Through this method a researcher acquires the knowledge and information needed through direct or indirect understanding. The research revealed that management information systems is a process in which managers plan, organize, control and initiate operations within a business. The systems used in an organization ensure towards the efficiency of the large systems within the organization for maximum performance. The management information systems used in an organization vary from one organization to another. The variation is dependent on the nature of the organizational operations, organizational priorities, size of business and other salient factors. Management information systems are interdependent. An organizations success is usually determined by the decisions making. The recommendations issued after the research is that an organization should have a proper integrated Management Information System which helps the decision making of an organization as information is relied on time and it is accurate for efficient decision making

Introduction

Scientific management is coined as the science for administration and usually employs decision making. Scientific management utilizes both what is controllable and uncontrollable. With regard to uncontrollable issues, it utilizes the method of prediction as long as the objective is met. Scientific management adopts critical techniques to come up with solutions for areas in inventory management and production. The paper shall look into scientific management and management information systems and how a company incorporates scientific management and management information systems to improve decision making and general performance.

Results/Discussion

Forms it has taken

There are two main modeling techniques that are commonly used, that is the linear programming and the probabilistic techniques. Linear programming problems involve a cost function/objective function that has to be either maximized or minimized subject to a particular number of limitations. The objective function includes a particular number of variables. The limitations are the linear disparities of the variables that are used in the cost function. This technique uses disparities in the problem statement and not equalities. A linear programming setback can be categorized in to unbounded, an optimal solution and infeasible problem.

Another modeling approach that is used in problem solving is the probabilistic techniques. This technique is based on the application of statistics for the probability of irrepressible situations and in risk assessment decisions. Probability assessment involves studying the outcomes of a particular decision alongside their probabilities. The probability evaluation tries to fill the gap between the known and the unknown that needs to be known for an optimal resolution to the problem. Probabilistic forms are used to hinder events happening due to uncertainty.

In what context/time period was/has it been implemented

Ideas linked to formal management of business can be traced to as early as the 18^th century. The management ideas were dormant for 2 centuries before it started undergoing some form of transformation. Most management practices such as scientific management should be credited to scholars of this era. This era was made up of scholars who strived to better comprehend the successful conduct of businesses. One of such scholars in this field was Frederick Winslow Taylor, the founding father of scientific management.

They studied how work was performed, and they looked at how this affected worker productivity. Taylor’s philosophy.............

Executive Summary

Evaluations have been made that, around the world, every year up to around two billion metric huge amounts of dust are conveyed up into the air, essentially by sandstorms. One sandstorm can lift and store more than 200 metric huge amounts of dust (Wallace & Webber, 2010). The Abu Dhabi airport has been recorded as one of five significant dust delivering locales, included that sandstorms are successive in the territory. Separated from being a danger and irritation to the overall population, sandstorms and sandstorms and their specialist poor perceivability and windy winds are a threat to aircraft arriving and taking off. This can prompt occupied flights, deferred takeoffs and specialist airplane terminal operational issues. Different impacts incorporate the scouring of aircraft surfaces and harm to motors and in addition hampering ground operations.

A sandstorm is a gathering of particles of dust, or sand, vivaciously lifted to an extraordinary stature by a solid and turbulent wind and the perceivability is diminished to beneath 1000 meters (Wallace & Webber, 2010). The perceivability is destined to be busy’s most exceedingly terrible amid light hours when the wind is grinding a way’s strongest. Criteria for characterizing a sandstorm, or sandstorm, in the area shift. At Abu Dhabi Airport the definition is that the 10-meter wind must be in abundance of 17 bunches and the surface flat perceivability underneath 1000 meters. Safar (1985) uses the same stipulations, however includes that when the perceivability falls underneath 200 meters, the storm is delegated serious.

1.      Background

An especially extreme sandstorm happened on the twelfth and thirteenth March 2003 when an overall created surface low weight cell passed close by to the north of the UAE. Separated from the poor perceivability accomplished, the occasion was likewise essential in that the storm went on for two days. Generally the framework travels through quick enough for the storm not to last more than the sunshine hours of one day (Vanholder, Gibney, Luyckx, & Sever, 2010). Usually, diurnal area and ocean Abu Dhabi airport warming differential causes the evening ocean breeze from the north to defeat the southerly leave wind. It was accordingly curious, amid the nighttime of the first day, to see smudged road and vehicle lights through a murkiness brought about by dust as opposed to the more ordinary moistness cloudiness.

Perceivability on the twelfth at Abu Dhabi AIRPORT crumbled to 900 meters in a southerly wind that found the middle value of 15 to 20 bunches. At Abu Dhabi airport the perceivability tumbled to 3500 meters in a windy wind that arrived at a normal velocity of 25 bunches. On the second day at Abu Dhabi the normal wind was 25 to 35 bunches and the watched perceivability irregularly lessened to somewhere around 300 and 600 meters for almost 10 hours amid sunshine. At Abu Dhabi airport the still windy wind arrived at 39 bunches with the perceivability down to 1200 meters.

The wind off the hot and dry desert brought on the temperature to top at 52°c and 51°c on the first and second day separately at Abu Dhabi, with the relative dampness down to 10% and never over 30% amid the day. In the interim at Abu Dhabi airport the crest temperature was 40°c and 42°c on the two days, separately and the daytime relative moistness was somewhere around 23% (Snedaker, 2013)

2.      Issues

2.1 Risk to Airplane amid Arriving and Take-Off

Low level wind shear is a critical risk to airplane amid arriving and take-off. An unmistakable danger exists if the wind change is sudden enough and enormous enough to surpass the aircraft’s quickening, or deceleration limit and huge enough to match its velocity wellbeing edge over the base approach, or ascension speed. On the morning of the thirteenth, an arriving aircraft approaching to land into the wind on runway 13 at Abu Dhabi Airport, would encounter a quick loss of velocity underneath 200 meters because of the headwind dropping from 40 bunches to 5 bunches. This means loss of lift and fast sink. If not quickly checked, at the best it brings about a hard arriving, even under the least favorable conditions an accident arriving short of the runway. Tackling runway 41 with an adequate 4 bunches tailwind brings about a tail wind of 40 bunches at 250 meters with comparative loss of lift impacts (Snedaker, 2013).

2.2 Increase Surface Friction

A comparable issue exists when there is an expansive temperature shear, for example, connected with a surface temperature reversal. On the morning of the thirteenth the temperature expanded by 5°c at 300 meters, yet on the morning of the twelfth it expanded by 8° at 180 meters. An increment in temperature implies an abatement in air thickness, less vitality accessible to the aircraft motors, a loss of lift and airplane sink. Hence an intensely laden aircraft undertaking runway 31 inside ground take-forbidden, possibly could have ended up in genuine challenges, if the group were not mindful of the tailwind and higher temperatures on high.

2.3 Reversal Pathways

A comparable penchant for threat exists in any circumstance where solid wind shear and/or solid surface temperature reversals pathways, such connected with storms, area and ocean breezes and by suggestion Shamal conditions in the past section. The barometrical soundings at 0000 UTC and 1200 UTC on the thirteenth are illustrative of the conditions that won on both days (Olshansky, Hopkins & Johnson, 2012). The main distinction being that the surface temperature reversal was more declared on the morning of the twelfth. The soundings affirm the Eta model prognostic vertical profiles in

Amid real sandstorms, the statement of dust over airport can be wide arriving at, frequently influencing different urban communities and towns. Sandstorms can bring down trees, cover supplies and reason .............
