Towards Holistic Traceability Solution

Abstract

The purpose of traceability is to ensure persistent alignment of product knowledge between stakeholders, artifacts, and traceability objects. On the other hand, process knowledge is equally important to ensure a systematic software development process with accurate specification and verifiable quality attributes. Previous studies lacks in presenting a consolidated view from product and process knowledge perspectives. This study has taken a systematic literature review approach to evaluate sixty one previously published papers on traceability in leading journals and conferences. Based on the findings, the authors propose to extend the definition of an existing traceability meta-model to combine both product and process knowledge perspectives. The scope of this paper is to define the extension of the traceability meta-model without violating any of its statements. This study aims to contribute by taking steps towards defining a holistic model of traceability that will provide practical guidelines to IT practitioners in general and to process engineers in particular.

Investigation of the critical success factors in the implementation of the lean industry 4.0 in manufacturing supply chain: an ISM approach

“…Horizontal integration is a means of defining global connectivity amongst devices that are connected on the same level. In an auto-adaptive manufacturing strategy, the production process can be changed autonomously depending on this data (Wagner et al, 2017) (continued ) SN CSFs Explanation 6 Cloud computing (CC) Cloud Computing is "A concept for enabling flexible, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be promptly provided and released with minimal administration effort or service provider engagement" (Durrani et al, 2013). It marks a move in the Internet computing paradigm to the next generation.…”

The Tetrad Influences

“…Researchers believe that in order to thoroughly understand the tetrad influences on the SCM process in any organizational context, it is essential to look deeper into its operational side, to study the association between different management systems or components. Through this study we will take this approach by proposing the SALAM model (See Figure 2) based on our extensive literature review and in addition to the researchers' relevant experience in the IT industry (Durrani, Pita, & Richardson, 2014).…”
