KBS

The knowledge- based system is a system that is programmed to give answers to those asking based on the informations given to the system. Meaning, if one has queries then the knowledge based system can provide the specific answers. Of course, answers would be limited on what was being programmed. Simply the artificial brains. While the MIS supports the daily operations and decision making efforts. KBS focused only on the queries.

KBS can be very useful in order to improve company's competitice advantage because it can manage, store and retrieve common querries that maybe useful in the operation and decision making. And creating custom reports for example would be easier, and that's one edge of having KBS compare to company who has no KBS.
