View Manual: Organisation Structure Model

To inform stakeholders regarding the accountability and responsibility towards the services that are routinely rendered by an enterprise – be it an internal service or external service; and the business footprint to inform capacity and network design.

A model that defines the Organisational structure (hierarchical decomposition), the functions/service performed by each organisational unit, the geographic location where these organisation unit reside, and the responsible authority (owner) of these organisation units.

Guidelines for the modelling requirements

• Name and Description must be completed for all classes shown
• If no additional slots are indicated, then just name and description are required
• Mandatory slots are shown in red, these are required for the view to work
• Mandatory slots with an option, i.e. Individual Role OR Group Role, are shown in green, these are required for the view to work
• Optional slots are shown in black. The report will work without these but there may be some blank fields.
• The "classified as" slot is automatically completed except where noted
