3.8 Management Information Systems

Management Information Systems

Today, information represents a major source of competitive management advantage when it is evaluated, filtered, condensed, analyzed, and organized in order to improve the quality of managerial decisions. Implementing a management information system is important in order to improve the performance of a company.

Curves Center as an initial point is going to be using software called “Microsoft Excel” because any other software will be too expensive for us. In “Microsoft Excel” the organization is going to develop an information system in order to collect data and then present it as information through tables, graphs, charts etc. in such a manner that it helps the general manager to answer important operating and strategic questions.

The data collected is going to be the information about the clientes in order to develop a data base of them. On the other hand Curves Center will develop an information system in order to generate the bill.

Client's Data Base (App)

Create an information system in the web page where the clients can see their progress through their pass in the gym, so that they can compare how they where, when the began and during their process in terms of weight, nutricion, sleep, body measurements, calories and time spent in the gym.

When the clients first inscribe to the gym, we give them the opportunity to download an application for their smartphones in order to controll their daily training at the gym.
Automatically after the medical appointment, the doctor uploads the measurements of all the clients so when they download the app they will be able to know their own information.
The woman can select in the app all the variety of machines that the gym has and it will present her the information she needs in order to make the exercise correctly if there is no coach near or if she just simply doesn't want to ask.
When the woman goes to the gym and makes her routine, she will be able to fill in the app all the routines, the repetitions and the time she spends; automatically, the app will calculate the number of calories she has burned in her daily training.
In addition, the woman can fill in the nutrition part, the food she has consumed (from the options presented) in the day and the app will calculate the number of calories of the food she consumed in the day.
On the other hand, the woman can fill in the sleep part, the hour where she goes to sleep and the hour she wakes up.
This way we can motivate our clients showing them that it is possible to achieve the goals that they proposed to themselves at the beigining and see their own statics and balances of how they work and train; this way we help them to have a healthy life.
