Dante Manufacturing is a big supplier in the automotive industry, head quarter in London with main plants in New York, Milan, Toronto and Tokio. Each one of these plants has been operating its own Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRP II) system, production scheduling and custom applications for production automation. Dante ' s objective is to minimize waste production improving production operations. During an analysis of the process improvements was determined that a significant improvement on waste production could be achieved replacing the outdated MRPII system with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) located in London. Dante has well-developed governance and processes based on TOGAF 9. The Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing operations is the business sponsor and issued a Request for Architectural Work. The architectural activity for the implementation of the new ERP platform is kicked off and the architectural vision is produced. Some concerns on the security, reliability, responsibility and time to manage change of driving the MRP II and production scheduling by a central system located in London are raised by the team of architects working on the project and by senior management of the various organizations. These last in particular, stressed the need to align the information management with the business.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a company that manufactures a variety of small electromechanical devices. The company is organized as independent operational divisions.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice and uses TOGAF standard for the basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of management frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.

Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.

The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A. Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment.

The implementation process is estimated to take four years. Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The implementation and Migration Plan v0 1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables are now complete.
