Assessment of strategic alignment's success for manufacturing systems
Résumé
This last decade "SA: Strategic Alignment" has been granted a huge attention from the academic researchers and industrials managers. However, it is an obvious statement that the concept is still unclear especially due to the complexity of the strategic context that SA has to model and formalize. After a large browsing of the literature, the purpose was to gather different comprehensions, classify them according the right use and clarify the point of view of authors. After that, current contribution is positioned, which aim's is to depict the manufacturing systems context to relevantly model the business strategy through the BSRF (Business Strategy Reference Model) and provide methodological framework (called S3A: Strategic Alignment Assessment Application) helping the managers to get a better understanding of the success of the SA with processes of IS (Information System) through a list of suggested KPI (Key Performance Indicators). KPI are classified according two performance attributes, namely: computational performance and field performance.
