Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
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 Scenario
You have been asked to recommend a response to the Chief Architect’s request to tailor the TOGAF Content
Metamodel.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
You recommend that the architecture team incorporate the Process Modeling and Infrastructure
Consolidation extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. As the environment is process-centric this
will enable them to model the manufacturing processes and store information to support regulatory
compliance. It also includes views useful for managing the consolidation of applications into a single data
center.

B.
You recommend that the architecture team incorporate the Process Modeling and Governance extensions
into their tailored Content Metamodel. This is suitable as this is a significant IT change that will impact its
operational models. This will ensure that they include specific entities and attributes that will allow them to
model the event-driven nature of the manufacturing processes more precisely.

C.
You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Governance and Motivation Extensions intotheir tailored Content Metamodel. This would allow modeling of the target milestones they want to achieve
with this consolidation of application to a single data center. These extensions will also enable
demonstration of regulatory compliance for the manufacturing process.

D.
You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Data and Services Extensions into their tailored
Content Metamodel. This would allow modeling of the location of IT assets and ensure regulatory
compliance for the manufacturing process. It will also allow for identification of redundant duplication of
capability which will be needed for a successful consolidation to a single data center.
