Question 78
Scenario: Acme Widgets Inc.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Acme Widgets Inc. manufactures a variety of small electromechanical devices. As part of a corporate-wide Lean Manufacturing initiative, it has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet consumer demand and improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating independently in several of the divisions' production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new ERP product running as a single instance in the company's primary data center.
Acme has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its architecture framework, [n addition to the EA program, Acme has a number of management frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the architects have reviewed the functional requirements and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment.
Based on all of these factors, the architects have assessed the organization's readiness to conduct the business transformation and have produced a risk assessment.
Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined that a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall implementation process is estimated to take several years.
