A management information system for team productivity improvement

This paper presents a case study, where a Management Information System (MIS) for Team Productivity Improvement Group (TPIG) called, MIS-TPIG, is designed, developed and commissioned in a manufacturing organisation. The system's primary responsibility is to organize and administer team building and productivity improvement events and functions for its employees. The MIS replaces the existing tedious manual paper base system and helps streamline the TPIG administration of such events. The new system is intended to help in bridging the gap between top management and the factory floor through the organizing these potentially valuable events to enhance idea exchange, sharing of information and communication at all levels.
