DURING THE LATE 1970s THE TERM “DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM” WAS FIRST COINED BY
P.G.W KEEN, A BRITISH ACADEMIC THEN WORKING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IN
1978, KEEN AND SCOTT MORTON PUBLISHED A BOOK ENTITLED DECISION SUPPORT
SYSTEM: AN ORGANIZATIONAL PRESPECTIVE WHEREIN THEY DEFINED THE SUBJECT TITLE
AS COMPUTER SYSTEMS HAVING AN IMPACT ON DECISIONS WHERE COMPUTER AND
ANALYTICAL AIDS CAN BE VALUE BUT WHERE THE MANAGERS JUDGEMENT IS ESSENTIAL.

DSS IS A COMPUTER BASED SYSTEM THAT HELP YOU MAKE PLANNING, MANUFACTURING,
OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT DECISION BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE.

BUT YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOT THE DECISION MAKERS. THEY
ARE JUST AID IN DECISION MAKING BY OFFERING INSIGHTS THAT MAY BE MISSING AND
PROVIDING EXACT CALCULATIONS.
