Decision Support System couple the intellectual resource of individuals with the capabilities of the computer to improve the quality of decision. It's a computer based support system for management decision makers who deal with semi-structured problem. An integrated decision support system for use in an machine mollen product has been developed. It incorporates a linear Programming model that represents the contribution optimal and optimizes the production water pump and mollen machine. An optimization model is performed using a management scient model called linear programming approach in older to determine media selection. To use this model, the DSS needs ti interface with another software. Mathematical Programming is a technique used in mathematical models, particularly optimization models, to assist in decision making. The Simplex Method is "a systematic procedure for generating and testing candidate vertex solutions to a linear program." (Gill, Murray, and Wright, p. -137) It begins at an arbitrary corner of the solution set. At each iteration, the Simplex Method selects the variable that will produce the largest change towards the minimum (or maximum) solution. The  development of computer programs to be used as Decision Support Systems involves several tasks such as mathematical modeling, technical and data collection and development of a user friendly interface.

When creating databases for GIS-applications often existing maps are scanned and vectorised for used. However, vectorisation becomes obsolete when GIS-objects can be referred to both in theme and geometry in a raster environment. This article shows to use model spatial data raster and vector for GIS - applications in both the graphical and image structure. Geographical data must first be converted into a computer- readable format before it can be used in a GIS. Spatial data are "elements that can be stored in map form." These elements correspond to a uniquely defined location on the Earth's surface. Spatial data have also been describe as “any data concerning phenomenon a really distributed” in two or more dimensions. (Peuquet and Marble, I990.) Data model is the rules to convert real geographical variation into discrete objects. There are two main GIS data models - vector and raster. Each of the two data models has specific types of data, analysis and displays that can handle better than the other system. The vector model represents geographical reality as a series of discrete objects or features, classified as points, line's or areas (polygons). The geographical co-ordinates describing the locations of these features are stored in the computer database which lies at the heart of the GIS. In the raster model a regular grid of cells, or pixels, is used to encode the features found on the earth's surface. Each pixel has a number associated with it representing; the value of a geographical phenomenon, such as terrain elevation, soil type or biomass. Layers of raster grids covering the same region can be built up to represent further variables.
