What aspect of an organization is primarily analyzed by a Transaction Processing System (TPS)?

A Transaction Processing System (TPS) is specifically designed to handle and analyze the routine transactions of an organization, which supports its daily operations. By processing high volumes of transactions quickly and accurately, a TPS ensures that the organization's operational data is consistently up to date. This might include sales transactions, receipts, payments, or inventory changes. The primary focus is on the operational aspects of the business, emphasizing efficiency, accuracy, and the timely processing of data related to everyday transactions.

Strategic planning, long-term forecasting, and resource allocation decisions all pertain to higher-level management functions that require data analysis over a longer timeframe and involve more complex decision-making processes. These are typically supported by higher-level information systems, such as Management Information Systems (MIS) or Executive Information Systems (EIS), rather than the more immediate and transactional focus of a TPS.
