The digital transformation brings up various new tasks to manage new business application software and integrate them into existing business processes and legacy systems, which are necessary to keep e.g. a production system running. Today, all these tasks are on the one hand not clearly defined and on the other hand, responsibility of these cross-disciplinary tasks is unclear in companies being mostly structured in a function-oriented way. While quality management has developed to a firmly established function of process excellence years ago, IT-application management is still to become an inevitable part of the digital transformation. There are just a few authors trying to define and describe this part, the related tasks, and necessary roles in an organization. In this paper, we show how the business needs of a company can influence the ideal adaptation of the digitization solutions and thus become the success of the digital transformation. We base the paper on a use case in manufacturing companies. We then describe how companies deal with business application systems today. Based on the framework Aachen Digital Architecture Management we describe how a company can holistically improve the management of business application systems.
Recent developments have demonstrated the challenges and impacts of disruptions in supply chains. Current disruptions especially affected procurement and have indicated a lack of resilience. Resilience aims at being prepared, decreasing the impact, and enabling fast reactions and adaption in case of disruptions. The systematic design of resilience in procurement is significantly influenced by proactive and strategic actions before disruptions occur. Thus, the procurement strategy plays a major role when increasing resilience. The procurement strategy is influenced by various factors. Thus, a data-based approach for its systematic design is required. Based on the vision of the Internet of Production (IoP), this paper presents a data-based approach for designing procurement strategies. The IoP is a framework that enables cross-domain collaboration by providing semantically adequate and contextual data from production, development, and usage in real-time at an appropriate granularity. The paper aims at analyzing the state of the art regarding the design of procurement strategy in uncertain environments and the identification of success-critical purchased articles. Based on this, an approach is developed that is structured along the action research cycle and uses CRISP-DM to further detail the different steps. Through the use of these frameworks, both practical applicability and objective evaluation are ensured. The proposed approach thus allows the systematic evaluation of purchased articles regarding supply risks and lies the foundation for the adaption of the procurement strategy. The resulting approach is the foundation for future practical application of different use cases. As one central use case for the presented approach, the paper introduces the textile industry and its supply chains.
