Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of methods that provide an effective transition to digitalization of industry. The proposed approach is aimed at developing a basic abstraction to describe the activities performed by employees at the enterprise. The proposed description is formed for the purpose of further analysis and selection of digitalization tools in accordance with the identified functional needs. The structure of the basic abstraction of describing the organization of an action in the form of a mechanism is proposed, the composition of the components of the mechanism in the form of elements, functions, tools, goals and results of the action is described. A graphical form of displaying the spatial representation of the mechanism of action has been developed. Approaches to the objectification of the organization of an action reflecting the process of preparing an action, including the representation of the components of an action in the form of nested mechanisms, are considered. The direction of further research in this area is to develop a methodology for describing activities as an interconnected set of actions of individual users, as well as a procedure for assessing compliance between the activities of an enterprise and existing or developing systems for digitalizing its work. Another area of research may be the formation of functional requirements for the design of an information system for a specific enterprise, taking into account all the details and logic of the performance of production activities. The development of the proposed approach can become the basis for increasing the efficiency of the realization of digital technologies into the industry activities of enterprises and reducing the costs of implementing this process.
