Internationally, innovation and technology are driving change
through concepts such as ‘Industry 4.0’. However, due to various
constraints, South Africa is lagging behind in this transformation.
Furthermore, local industry generates large amounts of data that
could contribute to a positive transformation. Data analytics, in the
form of reporting, may therefore present a workable alternative to
understand better the intricate nature of real-world operations.
This paper identifies four qualities for the practical application of
data analytics, with the aim of intelligent reporting. The four
qualities are focus area, data availability, analytics, and
visualisation. Research on each quality shows that they have various
levels. A comprehensive literature review supports these findings.
Forty studies are included that were selected through a process of
relevant research criteria. A case study is presented to show how
the four qualities contribute to the development of intelligent
reports as an objective representation of industry performance Internasionaal dryf innovasie en tegnologie verandering deur
konsepte soos Industrie 4.0. Weens verskeie beperkings is SuidAfrika egter agter in hierdie transformasie. Verder genereer die
plaaslike industrie groot hoeveelhede data wat kan bydrae tot ʼn
positiewe transformasie. Data analise, in die vorm van
verslaggewing, kan ʼn werkbare alternatief bied om die
ingewikkelde aard van werklike prosesse beter te verstaan. Hierdie
artikel identifiseer vier kwaliteite vir die praktiese toepassing van
data analise met die doel van intelligente verslaggewing. Die vier
eienskappe is onderskeidelik fokusarea, beskikbaarheid van data,
data analise en visualisering. Navorsing oor elke kwaliteit toon dat
hulle uit verskillende vlakke bestaan. ʼn Deeglike literatuurstudie
ondersteun hierdie bevindings. Veertig studies is ingesluit wat
geselekteer is deur ʼn proses van toepaslike navorsingskriteria. ʼn
Gevallestudie word aangebied om te illustreer hoe die vier
eienskappe bydrae tot die ontwikkeling van intelligente verslae
