Enterprise Architecture

This thesis serves as a point of departure for researchers that aim to contribute to EA to support the Industry 4.0 transformation. The EA models and method presented in this thesis can be further applied and developed to better model manufacturing products, processes, and resources. In addition, the method presented in this thesis significantly improves the creation of EA models by leveraging data to overcome the challenge associated with manually developing such models. This thesis can also provide guidance for production managers who wish to improve the use of manufacturing data in their enterprises through employing EA models.
