Role of the Computerized Information Systems in Rationalization the Administrative Decisions: An Empirical Study in Babylon Tires Factory

Abstract

The study aims to investigating the role of computerized information systems in rationalization the administrative decisions. To achieve the study objectives, some indicators including (factory productivity, machines reliability, defect rate, machines maintenance costs, and machines depreciation rate) in Babylon Tires Factory during the period (1^st July - 31 December, 2013) . The study reached to the following main results:

1.  There was statistically significant, a positive correlation at the significance level (? = 0.05), between the factory productivity and the machines reliability, also there was statistically significant, a negative correlation at the same level between the factory productivity and both of the (defect rate, and machines maintenance costs).

2.  There was statistically significant impact at the significance level (? = 0.05), for the (machines reliability and defect rate) on factory productivity of Babylon Tires.

The study recommended that necessarily up-dating the (fabric spreading machine) in fabric machines department, and made by advanced industrial origins because of its low reliability rate compared with other machines in the factory, as shown in the results of machines reliability analysis.
