Designing a Web-based DSS
We received a case from one of our customer that he needs a DSS that would help him handle his business. That application should help him in making decisions. It should prompt him to select the appropriate quotation based on the price and quality of goods.
We involved our self in creating a website that would fulfill our entire client requirement in order to support his business regarding the decision making. We introduced a new technology in the website to support decision. This web application has the option for accepting quotation from various vendors. And it provides the necessary combination of option for selecting the quotes. The quotation would be received on various aspects. It shows possibility in combination to get required result at low cost.
It helps the management in taking decisions about selecting the correct vendor for supplying the product. This application provides the options for comparing the vendor’s quotation. It has the options that will accept quotations from various vendors will compare that with all other quotations.
For example of how it works, let’s take a case of hospital furnishing. Let’s consider the hospital has 20 rooms and 4 Operation Theaters. Consider the rooms will need some equipment like bed, table, fan, telephone, perhaps a TV. Then we need to get the quotes for that from various vendors like one would be selling only bed, one would be table and so on.
This case various vendors will provides quotation on various aspect and we need to consider all and need to select the service of vendor who offer products at lower cost. It provides all solutions and helps to support decision making.
