This study aims to examine the role of engineering management information systems in enhancing the quality of managerial decision-making within Engineering Design Group. In today’s dynamic and complex engineering environments, organizations increasingly rely on management information systems to support effective planning, control, and decision-making processes. Engineering organizations, in particular, require accurate, timely, and integrated information to manage technical complexity and organizational resources efficiently.
The study adopts a quantitative analytical approach to investigate the impact of engineering management information systems on the quality of managerial decision-making. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to a sample of employees and managers at Engineering Design Group. Descriptive statistical methods and inferential analyses were employed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze the collected data and test the study hypotheses.
The findings indicate that engineering management information systems play a significant role in improving the quality of managerial decision-making by enhancing information accuracy, availability, timeliness, and integration. The results also reveal that effective use of management information systems supports rational decision-making, reduces uncertainty, and improves managerial efficiency. The study concludes that investing in advanced engineering management information systems contributes positively to organizational performance and decision quality.
Based on the findings, the study recommends strengthening the adoption of integrated management information systems, providing continuous training for users, and aligning information systems with organizational decision-making needs to enhance managerial effectiveness within engineering organizations.
