The chain has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework.
The CEO of the chain has stated concerns about the inefficiencies of the current systems and identified the need to change. He has defined a strategic vision that will enhance the business by providing its franchisees new services to help them compete with other retail outlets and online retailers. This strategy is part of the long-term commitment to enhance the brand image and increase revenue for the chain.
The Chief Architect engaged the services of a leading consulting firm that specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed to implement the CEO's vision. This recently completed with approval of a strategic architecture encompassing the entire chain, including detailed requirements and recommendations. Based on the recommendations from the study, the decision has been made for the chain to adopt a packaged suite of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the franchise.
The changes will help provide the chain with improved products, and more efficient operations. The stores will also act as delivery and return locations for a large online retailer which will further increase the number of potential customers.
The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to improve its ability to target advertising and new products to specific regions.

    Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect in a multinational automotive and clean energy company. The company designs and manufactures electric vehicles, battery storage, and solar panels. The company has multiple manufacturing facilities, in North America, Europe, and in Asia. Most of the facilities are wholly owned by the company, but two in Asia are jointly owned with local partners.
    The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board. The TOGAF standard is used for developing the automated manufacturing process and systems used to design, manufacture and test the new design. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co- sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
    A challenge that the company is facing is to scale up the number of vehicles coming off the production lines to meet customer demand. At the moment there are supply chain shortages for key custom-designed electronic components used in the vehicles.
    In response to this, the research arm of the company has pioneered the development of a revised design using common off-the-shelf components that will allow for a significant increase in overall vehicle production. This new design is ready to go into production.
    As part of putting the new design into production, adjustments to the automated assembly processes need to be made. A pilot architecture project at a single location has defined an updated approach for controlling the automated systems used to perform final assembly and quality assurance. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
    Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new automated system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and quality.
