Challenges

Four use cases were selected for a start of the digital transformation that bring high added value globally. These must be rolled out efficiently and adapted to local requirements.

Approach

Requirements for the four use cases were developed in the form of user stories and coordinated with global SMEs. The final user stories were compared with the existing processes in the plants, subsequently the local development needs were derived.

Results

The results show that detailed requirements in the form of user stories enable a global roll-out of the use cases. With this approach an individual development plan for each plant could be defined based on the current status quo.
