Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that develops photovoltaic
technologies for use in large-scale solar power farms. The company has three manufacturing facilities, two in
the United States, and one in Southern France. Each of these facilities supplies a different manufacturer that
assembles and sells complete systems. The solar panels and photovoltaic arrays are custom engineered to
meet each manufacturer’s design specifications.
A challenge that the solar power industry has faced is the efficiency of energy conversion. When a conventional
solar panel overheats, it becomes inefficient and generates less energy. In response to this, the research arm
of the company has pioneered the development of a new solar panel design that will produce up to 50% more
energy than standard solar panels when operating at elevated temperatures. This will allow the production of
significantly more useable energy per square meter than from standard solar technology. This new design is
ready to go into production.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture
Board. TOGAF 9 is used for developing the automated manufacturing process and systems used to design,
manufacture and test the solar power technologies they produce. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief
Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
As part of putting the new solar panel design into production, a pilot architecture project at a single location has
defined an updated standard approach for controlling the automated test systems used to perform final quality
assurance. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for
immediate implementation at each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new
automated test system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform
process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and high yields.
Refer to the Scenario
The Lead Enterprise Architect has asked you to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer’s
concern.Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

You have been appointed as a consultant to the Chief Enterprise Architect of a multinational pharmaceutical
corporation. The corporation includes 30 subsidiary companies with operations in over 60 countries and
products sold in over 125 countries. It has major research and development sites in over 45 locations
worldwide.
The management team is deeply committed to ensuring that the corporation is a world leader in socially
responsible pharmaceutical development with a business strategy that focuses on profitability through
environmentally friendly operating processes as well as a commitment to disease eradication.
The operations of the corporation are subject to legal and regulatory requirements for each country where they
operate. The production of prescription pharmaceutical products has governmental controls that are strictly
enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a
country where it was conducting a clinical trial for a new regulated drug.
The Governing Board is concerned about the risks posed in this complex global environment. As a result the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to be responsible for
overseeing and managing compliance issues for the corporation. The CCO reports directly to the CEO.
The CCO has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. He has
requested to be informed about the status of projects that could impact regulatory compliance. He also wants
the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze all proposed architectures to ensure that they are within the
legal guidelines for each country. In addition, the research organization should be able to see that the
architecture is appropriate for its needs.
TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise
Architecture practice. The Preliminary Phase has been completed to establish the enterprise architecture
capability for this project.
Refer to the Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major supplier in the automotive industry. The company is
headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants across the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan
and South Korea. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production scheduling
systems, as well as custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each
plant.
The company 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 planning 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 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 Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the Chief
Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations. 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 diving their planning and production
scheduling from a remote centralized system. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be
addressed.
Refer to the Scenario
During the initial meeting of the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team, a number of alternative
recommendations for how to proceed are put forward by members of the team.
You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team evaluates
different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

You are serving as the Chief Architect for a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing
rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
Each business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration between headquarters and the
business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The
inability to share information across businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to “leverage the synergies”
that had been intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own
applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products,
supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different ways of defining each of these core
elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is
difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a single enterprise-wide application to consolidate
information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The application will be used by all
business units and accessed by suppliers through well defined interfaces.
Refer to the Scenario
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you are developing a set of
architecture principles to guide the activities.
You need to specify the best approach for this work.

You are the Lead Architect for a firm that manufactures ball bearings used in industrial equipment applications.
They have manufacturing operations in several cities in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
The firm has traditionally allowed each manufacturing plant to drive its own production planning systems. Each
plant has its own custom Materials Requirements Planning, Master Production Scheduling, Bill of Materials,
and Shop Floor Control systems.
“Just In Time” manufacturing techniques are used to minimize wastes caused by excessive inventory and work
in process. The increasingly competitive business environment has compelled the firm to improve its business
capability to be more responsive to the needs of industrial customers. To support this capability, the firm has
decided to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that will enable it to better coordinate its
manufacturing capacity to match the demands for its products across all plants. In addition, there are also new
European regulations coming into force to which their manufacturing processes must conform in the next six
months.
As part of the implementation process, the Enterprise Architecture (EA) department has begun to implement an
architecture process based on TOGAF 9. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. The Chief Architect has
directed that the program should include formal modeling using the Architecture Content Framework and the
TOGAF Content Metamodel. This will enable support for the architecture tooling that the firm uses for its EA
program.
The Chief Architect has stated that in order to model the complex manufacturing process it will be necessary to
model processes that are event-driven. Also, in order to consolidate applications across several data centers it
will be necessary to model the location of IT assets. In particular, the end goal is to have the single ERP
application running in a single data center.
Currently the project is in the Preliminary Phase, and the architects are tailoring the Architecture Development
Method (ADM) and Architecture Content Framework to fit into the corporate environment.
Refer to the ScenarioYou have been asked to recommend a response to the Chief Architect’s request to tailor the TOGAF Content
Metamodel.

You are serving as the Lead Architect for an enterprise architecture project team within a leading medical
device manufacturer that specializes in miniature devices. The latest product under development is a tiny
wireless device that can be implanted in the brain and can deliver a precise electric shock when the wearable
Pain Control Unit (PCU) detects an increase in stress induced by the onset of a migraine headache.
This technology will be a breakthrough in the treatment of this condition, and several competitors are striving to
be the first to introduce a product into the market. However, all of them must demonstrate the effectiveness and
safety of their products in a set of clinical trials that will satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in
the target markets.
The Enterprise Architecture group within the company has been engaged in an architecture development
project to create a secure networked collaboration system that will allow researchers at its product development
laboratories worldwide to share information about their independent clinical trials.
The Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization that has been utilizing TOGAF for several years.
They use the TOGAF 9 ADM with extensions required to support current good manufacturing practices and
good laboratory practices in their target markets. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is
managed, special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain included an examination of the
security and privacy issues that are relevant for each domain. A corresponding Security Architecture has been
defined.
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity. She
has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be rolled out on a
geographic basis that will minimize disruptions to ongoing clinical trials. The work will need to be done in stages
and rolled out in geographical regions.
