which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario Mansfield Bearing Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Mansfield Bearing Inc. 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.

Mansfield employs “Just In Time” techniques 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 Mansfield 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 Mansfield utilizes for its EA program. The
Chief Architect has stated that in order to model the manufacturing process it will be
necessary to model processes that are eventdriven. Also, in order to consolidate
applications across several data centers it will be necessary to model the location of IT
services. 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 Mansfield Bearing environment. Refer to the Global Traders Inc. Scenario You are
serving as the Chief Architect. As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise
Architecture department, you have decided to create a set of principles to guide the
activities. You have been asked to recommend the best approach for this work. Based on
TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer? Refer to the Mansfield Bearing
Scenario Your role is the Lead Architect. 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 processcentric 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 he architecture team incorporates the Data and Services
Extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. This would allow modeling of the location
of IT services 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.

C.
You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Governance and Motivation
Extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. This would allow modeling of the target
milestones they want to achieve with this consolidation of applications 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 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 governance 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.
