QuestionQ104
VerifiedIntroduction to Applying the ADMOverview
Your role is as consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational company that manufactures electronic components. The company has several manufacturing divisions located around the world and a complex supply chain. After a recent study, senior management have raised a concern about business efficiency in light of the company’s multiple data centers and duplicated applications.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF architecture development method in its EA practice. In addition to the EA program, the company has several management frameworks in use, including business planning, project-portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
A strategic architecture has been defined to improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve management of the supply chain. The strategic architecture includes the consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating independently in the divisions’ production facilities.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements. The enterprise architects have defined a set of work packages that address the gaps identified. They have identified the value produced, effort required, and dependencies between work packages to reach a target architecture that would integrate a new ERP environment into the company.
Because of the risks posed by change from the current environment, the architects have recommended that a phased approach be used to implement the target architecture with several transition states. The overall implementation process is estimated to take several years.
