The Management Information System (MIS) can be implemented in any Article History
manufacturing industry, human resource, logistic management industry, etc. This study
Received :18th November
aims to describe implementation of MIS in automobile industry. The different data

collection and data analysis techniques used in MIS implementation are discussed. Most
of the time Barcodes and barcode readers are used as an input device in many Received in revised form :
industries. Due to such devices tracking and traceability of shop floor gets improved.

When car travel card is filled completely and complete car
comes out, one dedicated employee is required to scan the
cards and prepare the database. This resource need is
completely eliminated in the mentioned system.
3. Report generation
All the data is easily available in .csv format, it is possible
to prepare charts, plots from the available data.
4. Live line status information
The complete system is online system. The data getting
logged into the system is reflected in the report within no

how many cars are checked, what are the major defects,
START what action has to be carried out to reduce the defect, which
machine parameter need to be changed, etc.
