Description And Typification Of Low-Code Use Cases In Manufacturing Companies
- As manufacturing companies increasingly embrace digitalization to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, the demand for IT specialists has surged. In response, companies are turning to low-code programming as a solution to alleviate the burden on their IT departments. Through the utilization of low-code tools, domain experts, who may lack IT-specialist credentials yet possess valuable insights and domain-specific knowledge, are empowered to develop applications. However, implementing low-code without proper governance can lead to shadow IT and associated risks, where IT activities operate in the background hidden from official IT management. This paper aims to lay a foundation for elaborating a low-code governance by identifying low-code use cases in manufacturing companies and typifying them. Three types of low-code use cases for manufacturing companies are identified: "Development by Domain Experts," "Development by Domain Experts and IT Specialists," and "Development by IT Specialists." These types provide a basis for designing effective low-code governance principles, enabling responsible and efficient use of low-code development in the manufacturing sector.
