Description

This paper reports on a Systems Analysis task for specifying the business requirements of a leading automotive industry manufacturer for augmenting their production system with cyber physical components to address two problems that they are currently facing with inbound logistics and production interruptions both of which could result in substantial financial losses. Requirements were captured, documented and reasoned about using a systematic approach that was facilitated by a conceptual modeling framework, consisting of 4 modeling views, for iteratively representing information gathered from domain experts and for validating the requirements.
