Scenario: Rollins Manufacturing
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Rollins Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in Cleveland,
Ohio with manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama, and Seoul. Each of these
plants has been operating its own Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRPII) system, production
scheduling, and custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at
each plant.
Rollins 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 MRPII 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 Rollins 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 Review Board approved a Request for Architecture
Work from the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations who is the project sponsor. 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
driving their MRPII and production scheduling from a central system located in Cleveland. The Chief
Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.
Refer to the Rollins Manufacturing Scenario:
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for the Common ERP Deployment architecture
project.
One of the earliest initiatives in the Enterprise Architecture program at Rollins was the definition of a
set of IT principles and architecture principles that are well aligned with the overall enterprise
principles. These now need to be updated to address the concerns raised.
You have been asked to select a set of principles most appropriate for guiding the team to define a
robust solution.
[Note: You should assume that Rollins has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and
defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.]
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario: Global Mobile 1
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Global Mobile is a mobile telecommunications company formed through a series of mergers and
acquisitions. They are yet to fully integrate the customer service systems for the most recent
acquisitions, and as result, customer service has been a major concern for the Chief Technology
Officer.
Results for the last two quarters have shown that Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and the
customer retention (Churn) rate have fallen below the industry average. The Corporate Marketing
group has published some new findings about customer satisfaction. The customers appear to be
switching to Air Light, a competitor, because of superior customer service. Global Mobile actually
has better coverage in nearly all markets than Air Light, and good roaming agreements that keep
rates low for business travelers. But, customer satisfaction has remained low.
The Business Strategy group and the Enterprise Architecture group have conducted a high-level
project to develop the enterprise-wide strategic plan. They have developed a business scenario
which contains a good conceptual model of what needs to be done, and also identifies the key
requirements. This was used in preparing the proposal presented to the Executive Council and the
Corporate Board.
The planning for the program has been underway for several months. Global Mobile has selected
TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture.
The Corporate Board has approved funding for a multi-million Euro conversion to transition to a
packaged Customer Service System. It is anticipated that the overall program will take five years to
complete, but there are some tactical projects that can commence immediately to address the
situation. The Corporate Board has placed one additional major constraint on the program. In
addition to achieving the business outcomes directly related to improving overall customer service
within each business unit, the Corporate Board expects the Target Architecture to produce an
additional saving of at least 30% over current operating costs through energy efficiency initiatives,
virtualization of servers and workstations, and expanded telecommuting and desk-sharing. This
Green initiative is intended to become a model for future investments at all company facilities
worldwide.
Refer to Global Mobile scenario
You have been engaged as a consultant to advise the Chief Architect on the best ways to approach
to the implementation planning activities for this significant business transformation.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer? (Is this the right answers to choose?)

According to TOGAF, Which of the following are the architecture domains that are commonly
accepted subsets of an overall enterprise architecture?

Scenario: AGEX Inc.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
AGEX is a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a
series of acquisitions.
Each new 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, AGEX has begun implementing a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to
consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The
Corporate Board is concerned that the new ERP system must be able to manage and safeguard
customer information in a manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in
which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company
expands its online services offered to clients and trading partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its
charter is to coordinate efforts between the ERP implementation team and the business unit
personnel who will be involved in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional
Architecture Review Board to oversee and govern the architecture.
After reviewing the available alternatives, and based on recommendations from the ERP vendor,
AGEX has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture program.
The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the AGEX Inc. Scenario
You are serving as the Chief Architect.
You have been asked to recommend the approach to take in the Preliminary Phase to ensure that
the Corporate Board’s concern is addressed.
Based en TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Which one of the following statements about the structure of the TOGAF 9 document is true?

Scenario: Zephyr Enterprises
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Zephyr Enterprises specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale
commercial wind energy production systems. Zephyr has manufacturing facilities located in Palm
Springs, California, Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Ontario. Each of these plants supplies a
different manufacturer that builds and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom
engineered to meet each manufacturers design specifications.
Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics.
However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods
for precision application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in
weight, increase in strength, and greatly improved blade longevity. Zephyr has pioneered the
development of a proprietary automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades.
Patents have been filed to protect the process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.
Zephyr has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional
Architecture Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor
the Enterprise Architecture program.
Zephyr has used TOGAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated
manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade
assemblies. They have recently updated to TOGAF 9 and have adapted the Zephyr Enterprise
Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of Zephyrs IT architects have been trained
and certified on TOGAF 9.Recently, an architecture project was completed that defined a standard
approach for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final
quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly. The Manufacturing Architecture Board
approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.

An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy
the new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has
expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.
Refer to the Zephyr Enterprises Scenario
You are the Lead Architect for this activity.
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the Chief Engineer’s
concern.
