ABSTRACT
Management Information System (MIS) is the combination of human and computer based resources that result in the collection, storage, retrieval, communication and use of data for the purpose of efficient management operation and for business planning. MIS facilitates management by producing structured and summarised reports on a regular and recurring basis. They are used in decision making. Today, without the application of computer, and MIS based on computer network, it is impossible to modernise mining enterprise management.
In this study, a Mining Management Information System (MMIS) named SOMMIS developed for Soma Open Pit Mines is described. The development life cycle approach of MIS is followed and each of the preliminary investigation, the detailed investigation, the logical design, the physical design and the implementation phases are explained for SOMMIS. The system is tested using real and artificial data and it is found as suitable for application.
