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 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 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 into their 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.
