KEY-PROBLEM AND GOAL DRIVEN REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING - Which Complementarities for Manufacturing Information Systems?

Abstract

The development of manufacturing information systems involves various stakeholders, who are not specialists for information systems. Therefore the stakes of the methods for such projects are to provide models which are understandable for all people involved, and conceptual enough to support the alignment between business, information system and manufacturing strategies of the company. The use of problem based models, stemmed from dialectical approaches, is efficient for the understand ability and a coarse strategic analysis, but it is limited through the project size. At the opposite, goal driven requirements engineering approaches enable to tackle large projects and detailed strategic analysis, but they are limited because of the difficulty to deal with the fuzzy concept of a goal. So, it would be interesting to gain from these two approaches. This paper first presents a problem driven approach for manufacturing information systems. It consists in a key-problem framework and a set of steps to exploit it. The assumption made is to base requirement elicitation on the problems encountered by the stakeholders. Then its matching with goal driven requirements engineering is shown and the complementarities between these two approaches are drawn and further discussed.
