1. The manner that SAIGA acts as an MIS is the SAIGA software is an organized approach to the information needs of the company’s management in making operational, tactical, and strategic decisions by designing and implementing procedures and processes that provide the company with detailed reports in a consistent and timely manner to improve business. The manner that SAIGA acts as a DSS is that the computer system is designed to provide assistance in determining and evaluating alternative courses of action. It acquires date from the mass of routine transactions from Aeroports de Paris then analyzes it with advanced statistical techniques to extract meaningful information and narrows down the range of choices by applying rules based on a decision theory. The software’s objective is the facilitation of the what-if analysis not to replace the manager’s judgment but to assist them in the decision-making.

2. The scheduling of this scale is best left to information systems such as SAIGA rather than humans because each flight that arrives requires a long list of resources. These includes gate stands, parking stands, fuel stands, fuel trucks, check-in counters, buses arriving for passengers, luggage conveyor belts for incoming and outgoing flights and a variety of ground equipment and personal. Orchestrating an efficient delivery of all of these different areas would require the skill of more than one person, by using an information system the airport runs more efficient and is less stressful for the personal and travelers. The software system works in real time, which enables the airport to handle unexpected flight delays or other problems that arise such spotting patterns in scheduling and resources. The decline in flight delays and the turnaround time of flights is faster for passengers; timely assignment of resources reduced the airports operating cost.
