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process improvements was determined that a significant improvement on waste production could be achieved replacing the outdated MRPII system with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) located in London.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. Refer to the scenario above As Lead Architect you have been asked to update the IT architectural principles to address the concerns raised by the project stakeholders and the senior management. According to TOGAF 9 (assuming the enterprise is using the example set of principles in TOGAF 9 Section 23.6), which of the following is the best answer? Choose one of the following answers
Answer options
A: Common Use Applications, Data is Shared, Data is Accessible, Data is Secure, Interoperability, Control, Technology Independence.
B: Business Continuity, Service-Orientation, Data is Shared , Data is Accessible, Data is Secure, Responsive Change Management.
C: Requirements-Based Change, Ease-of-Use, Data is Normalized.
D: Information Management is Everybody's business, IT Responsibility, Data Trustee, Technology Independence, Responsive Change Management. Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Information Management is Everybody's business, IT Responsibility, Data Trustee, Technology Independence, Responsive Change Management.
Explanation

The scenario outlines concerns regarding responsibility, time to manage change, and the alignment of information management with the business, a point specifically stressed by senior management. Option D provides the most suitable set of principles to address these issues. "Information Management is Everybody's business" directly addresses the senior management's key concern for business alignment. "IT Responsibility" and "Data Trustee" clarify roles and ownership, directly mitigating the "responsibility" concern in the new centralized model. "Responsive Change Management" directly addresses the concern about the "time to manage change". This combination provides a robust governance framework for the new centralized ERP system, targeting the most critical stakeholder concerns.

Why Incorrect

A: This option lists general principles but fails to address the specific, critical concerns raised about reliability, responsibility, and responsive change management. B: While addressing reliability ("Business Continuity") and change, this option completely misses the stressed senior management concern about business alignment and responsibility. C: This is the weakest choice, as its principles are either too generic or do not map to the primary concerns of security, reliability, and responsibility.
