Executive Summary In Nestle, management information systems (MIS) play such critical role. It has an influence here on operations, effectiveness, and productivity of the organization. That becomes simple to monitor and track all the specific goals. The associated with organizational are kept up to date on the entity's performance, accomplishments, and inadequacies. The supervisor is woken up by supplying information that indicates and predicts emerging patterns in many components of this business. This seems to be beneficial for predicting and lengthy planning. The focus of the management is drawn to a scenario that is anticipated in form, prompting them to act immediately or make a decision. With all individuals in the organization, a controlled reporting and monitoring system generates a structural data and a level of knowledge. The data is displayed in just such a manner that it may be blended and analyzed right away, sparing the management important time. Nestle's MIS aids leaders and managers in main objective, long term planning, including changing business plans as well as their execution. It also serves as a source of knowledge, collaboration, and problem-solving, as well as assisting in selection. As a result, the MIS basically plays a critical role with in administration, management, & operations of the company. Material handling, operations, delivery of products plus services, sales and marketing, but also maintenance are just a few of the MIS tasks related to the Nestle's

developing services/products, marketing and distribution, also support. This paper will look at how MIS may assist in every one of those areas. The aim of this paper seems to be to help Nestle build a strategic plan. The firm ’s resource gap was discovered through sources of information including the journals, internet and publications. The present knowledge strategic approach has indeed been stated, as well as the organization's performance, which are detailed with in the report.

Introduction This use of computer technology, personnel, and work processes in order to capture, store, as well as analyze data that can provide information which stakeholders can implement to improve everyday choices is known as management information systems. The goal of MIS is basically to harvest information from a multitude of resources and create information that enable businesses flourish. The MIS basically is a software application that implements organizational practices and systems. It's all about file structure and file handling to a coder. It is, therefore, far more complicated. The three aspects of MIS give a more comprehensive and concentrated description, with System implying connectivity as well as a comprehensive picture, Information referring to data input, and Administration referring to the final customer, top management.

Background/Body Nestle basically is a health, nutrition and wellness firm that may be among the world's biggest and most successful, having controlled the food market for nearly 150 years.

Henri Nestle began this Nestle Firm in Switzerland in the year 1866 along with the primary goal of manufacturing increased milk nourishment for newborns, and it became the country's largest beverage and food company. This Nestle Company sought to develop a business founded on fundamental principles and values as that of the global highest health, nutrition and wellness organization. This aim was accomplished using Nestle's several wellknown products. The business has developed tremendously, and its customers have shown a high level of respect as well as faith in it. While finding a balance among geographical activity and market segments, the current customers are increasing via technology.

Objectives One amongst Nestle's goals is basically to provide superior meals to their clients. The objectives as well as the company's visual identity have a rather direct correlation. As the organization attempts to give its customers with the food products, elevated, and nutritionally balanced.

Nestle's business goal is to become the globe's largest and most powerful food company, while also guaranteeing that now the Nestle brand is associated with high-quality goods. It demonstrates that nestle already has accomplished a portion of its goal of becoming the world's biggest producer. This goal is connected to Nestle's second goal, which would be to ensure that the system provides long - term sustainable value through time for investors, workers, customers, business associates, and the economic systems wherein Nestle works.

Structure Nestle employs approximately 500 people in 76 countries, also sells its goods in approx 193 countries. About 280 000 employees work for the corporation, which has factories and activities in virtually every nation on this planet.

External & Internal Knowledge This relates to whether the information is internal or external to the company. Some businesses are much more focused on the outside world, relying on newspapers, consultants, universities and consumers, for example. Some are much more narrowly focused, accumulating distinctive expertise and knowledge that is hard to duplicate.

The data for this research has been gathered with both the aid of the a Nestle "Middle East" (UAE) employee, and also a research evaluation collected from the secondary technology such as the journals, internet, case studies, and publications.

Technology This ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software, which would be a computer system in order to control internal as well as external resources such as physical assets, financial backing, commodities, and personnel management, is one of the technology now employed by Nestle. The computer's major goal is to facilitate the information flow across all product lines inside the company and also to handle links with external stakeholders. Companies utilise a wide range of technology and procedures, and implementing an "ERP" system, which can often be complex, necessitates changes to the way employees operate.

SAP Purchase, financials, marketing and distribution, payable accounts, and receivable accounts are the five SAP components used by Nestle. Information basically is accessed, distributed, and sorted using SAP systems.

Nestle is now using Manugistic's Production Chain solution to automate its all supply chain processes.

Broadband is indeed a software that practically every corporation inside the world uses. Intranets make it simpler to share information across various organizations. Nestle uses it to give software and processes, such as teamwork.

CRM has been implemented by Nestle Catering Services. It is indeed a technique that would be intended to assist consumers in becoming more acquainted with them.

The firm is employing Manugistic's distribution network, and that is only compatible with Java. SAP supply management feature, APO, must be used to substitute the innovation. Nestle would've been able to standardize and speed the whole project development while also increasing productivity because the firm employs SAP's various modules.

Advantages & Disadvantages of SAP Advantages 1. Integration Integration may provide the greatest advantage of all. Just one actual goal of ERP implementation is to reduce data redundancy and redundant data input. If indeed the aim is to streamline stock transfer to the general ledger, the operation may be an accomplishment. Those businesses whose integration isn't as necessary, or perhaps harmful, have such a difficult time implementing ERP. ERP somehow doesn't increase individual consumer productivity, thus if customers anticipate it, they would be disappointed. Users' collaboration is improved through ERP.

2. Efficiency ERP software, in general, concentrates on synchronization and is unconcerned with people's everyday demands. Personal efficiency may feel the consequences of ERP implementation, in my opinion. The key concern regarding ERP would be that the benefits of cooperation and integration are enough to compensate the loss in individual efficiency.

3. Cost Reduction Unless the corporation took financial reporting carefully before deployment and invested heavily of human work into it will it save money. If companies didn't really care, if company merely conducted some basic accounting and complete out obligatory reports, and then if corporate reporting did not even exist or wasn't finance-oriented, then there was no huge savings.

4. Accuracy

People are correct, not technology. ERP helps make the life of incorrect individuals or institutions a living misery, and it could drive people to really be precise or else the company may fail.

Disadvantages 1. Expensive Software, hardware, installation, experts, training, and so forth are all included. Alternatively, you may engage a developer or several as employees and outsource solely business consultancy, while handling all modification and terminal training in-house. This has the potential to be expensive.

2. Not Flexible It is debatable. SAP may be customised to practically any requirement. In Navision, practically anything may be created in a few of days. Alternative software would not be as adaptable.

Recommendations People When Nestle's teaching and exchanging programme introduces a new innovation, training must be offered to the personnel. Smallpeice Companies should develop a programme called Establishing Industries Methods Program to teach the management. This type of training focuses on emotional management concerns such as organization change, task development and preparation, communication, including strategic planning including conversational skills. This might assist Nestle to become a modern education and give its employees the strength to cope with both the technological changes that are occurring. The training would indeed aid in improving the organizational mission, collaboration, and employee performance. Furthermore, firms who've already taught their employees with the "MITP" program have achieved considerable and widespread growth in respective information sectors, including such IBM.

Open and honest communication as well as association between these two should be promoted, with everyone else in the sector, anywhere at level, having the opportunity to share

their ideas and thoughts in attempt to optimize and enrich the firm while also allowing for personal growth. This would also result in the transmission of knowledge.

Process Prior explicit and tacit information must be utilized once the development process begins inside the company. External knowledge must also be thoroughly examined prior to product creation.

Customer expectations, as well as the location in which the item will be released, must be researched, as well as the traditional value of the product. When producing goods, it's indeed critical to know the targeted audience. The company's nutritive benefits must also be evaluated during the research process; alternatively, the item may fail due to its low nutritious quality and value.

Technology The technologies that really should be utilized to spread information are: Information repositories A database warehousing is a massive data depository that contains all corporation information, along with all historical information from the company that uses it. Data storage is a complicated method of building a central database inside the shape of something like a relational model because a corporation may enable online or textual extraction to exploit information and converting or combine this into meaningful information.

In every scenario, data processing is being used to achieve a great competitive edge and provide assistance for these decision-making procedures via extensive data processing.

Conclusion Obviously, a "management information system" should be built in order to offer accurate data to ones in power of making decisions. The information can help and enhance the overall decision-making procedure, allowing for more precise and timely strategic judgments. This Management Information System improves the availability and dissemination of effective and high-end data to end users. To really be efficient, these Management Information Systems must include a thoroughly thought-out, planned, but also executed

database in order to correlate the changed choices. The MIS of this company must be in line with the company's administrative plus tactical goals. The industry's top leadership should be actively involved in enhancing the Information Management system & contributing effectively towards its development.
