Question 1

Scenario: Rollins Manufacturing -

Rollins Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart,

Yokohama, and Seoul. Each of these plants has been operating its own Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRPII) system, production scheduling, and custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.

Rollins is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the efficiency of all of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in process waste could be achieved by replacing the current MRPII and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in the Cleveland data center. This central system would provide support to each of the plants replacing the functionality in the existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the plant facilities. A reduced number of IT staff could support the remaining applications. In some cases, a third-party contractor could provide those staff.

The Rollins Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF 9.At a recent meeting, the Architecture Review Board approved a Request for Architecture Work from the Chief

Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations who is the project sponsor. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.

The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the project team has been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired outcomes and benefits. Some of the plant managers have expressed concern about the security and reliability of driving their MRPII and production scheduling from a central system located in Cleveland. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.

You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for the Common ERP Deployment architecture project.

One of the earliest initiatives in the Enterprise Architecture program at Rollins was the definition of a set of IT principles and architecture principles that are well aligned with the overall enterprise principles. These now need to be updated to address the concerns raised.

You have been asked to select a set of principles most appropriate for guiding the team to define a robust solution.

[Note: You should assume that Rollins has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.]

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

    Correct Answer: C

    Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise is essential to support lean manufacturing and reducing waste, aligning closely with the project's objectives. Business Continuity directly addresses reliability concerns for the central system. Common-use Applications is relevant for replacing divisional systems with a centralized ERP. Data is Shared and Data is Accessible are important for enabling plants to access and utilize the central system effectively. Data is Secure addresses security concerns raised by plant managers. This combination of principles ensures a robust, secure, and efficient implementation of the ERP system across the organization.

Discussion
SVGNROption: C

c wins because of the concern around Security - The three data principles ( Data is Shared , Data is secure & Data is accessible) address the Security concern the most - Business continuity addresses the Reliability concern. The other answers address the Security & Reliability aspects based on the entire context of the scenario portrayed in the Question

aameerakOption: B

reliability means business continuity, it is one of the concerns in the question

dave256Option: C

Trying to find out why C is the right answer. How does maximize Benefit and business continuity fits the case. A looked like better choice

scuzzy2010

" minimize waste and improve the efficiency of all of its production operations" - maximize benefit

elainexs

interoperability not seems very important in the context.

sweetsugarrrOption: C

"Business Continuity" is key for manufacturing company, that's why B and C are better. C 'wins' with the maximizing the benefit. So my understanding of the best-to-worst solutions is: C, B, A, D

PratsMicOption: C

A - > does not address reliability D - > does not address reliability C better than B - single ERP maximises benefit to org ( compared to service orientation & change management)

hou0220Option: C

Answer is C Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise - lean manufactoring principles, significant reduction in process waste, A reduced number of IT staff Business Continuity - reliability concern Common-use Applications - common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the plant facilities Data is Shared, Data is Accessible - driving their MRPII and production scheduling from a central system Data Security - security concern

YunosOption: C

Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise, Business Continuity, Common-use Applications, Data is Shared, Data is Accessible, Data is Secure. by replacing divisional application with enterprise application , the sequence make most sense
