Operational Level System: Transaction Processing System and Decision Making

This research paper investigates the critical role of Operational Level Systems (OLS) in facilitating transaction processing and supporting decision-making within modern organizations. In today's fast-paced and data-driven business environment, OLS plays a pivotal role in capturing, processing, and disseminating real-time data to aid in operational efficiency and effective decision-making. This study aims to explore the functionalities and interconnections of Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) as integral components of OLS, and their contribution to informed decision-making at the operational level. To achieve this, an extensive literature review is conducted to comprehend the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of OLS and TPS. Additionally, empirical data are collected through surveys, interviews, and case studies from various industries to gain insights into the real-world implementation and benefits of OLS and its impact on decision-making processes. The findings reveal that OLS, with its robust TPS, provides organizations with streamlined data processing capabilities, enabling seamless handling of day-to-day transactions, such as sales, inventory management, and financial transactions. Moreover, it facilitates the efficient storage and retrieval of vast amounts of transactional data, laying the foundation for data-driven decision-making. Furthermore, the research highlights the significance of the integration between TPS and decision-making systems, emphasizing the pivotal role of OLS in supporting operational managers in making well-informed decisions. The ability to access real-time transactional data empowers decision-makers to identify trends, patterns, and potential bottlenecks, leading to timely adjustments and optimized performance. This research sheds light on the vital role of Operational Level Systems, particularly Transaction Processing Systems, in today's business landscape. By efficiently processing transactions and providing timely information for decision-making, OLS proves to be an indispensable tool for enhancing operational effectiveness and achieving competitive advantage. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to harness the potential of OLS to streamline operations and improve decision-making processes at the operational level.
