Expanding the Limits of IT Governance to the Factory Floor
Abstract
The search for transparence in executing activities is presently one of the principal
concerns of organizations. The adoption of good practices of go
vernance confers
market confidence on company management. although usually, there is a
fragmented vision of production inside the companies, which often leads to a lack of
availability and lack of integrity of information. This can negatively affect the
IT
objectives in terms of the level of information service provided. The objective of this
article is to shape a model that makes it possible to translate company strategy into
terms of business requirements for the MES layer, and thus allow the utilizatio
n of
COBIT as a governance mechanism. The first step is to understand the company
through its strategies and processes. The second consists in classifying the
information requirements in relation to performance goals and the support needs of
the operation.
A third step validates the classification of the requirements taking into
consideration the strategy adopted, the desired behaviors defined by corporate
governance and the viability of meeting the criteria proposed by COBIT for each of
the business requirements.
