Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect working at a vehicle manufacturing
company. The company specializes in buses and coaches. You are part of an
Enterprise Architecture (EA) team that has responsibilities across multiple divisions of
the company. EA provides the company with a comprehensive framework to develop
and manage their manufacturing infrastructure, processes for component production,
and design and testing systems.
The company has a corporate strategy that focuses on switching to electric power for
its vehicles. It has invested heavily in a new standardized design, production efforts,
and major components to use across all its product range. The company has multiple
manufacturing plants in North America, Europe, and in Asia.
Customer demand has caused a backlog of orders because many customers want to
have more environmentally friendly public transportation. There are not enough
electronic components available, which is making it hard to produce products and
meet customer demand. To address this issue, the company has started making the
battery packs themselves and has hired new suppliers.
The EA team is working on a project to improve the process and systems to design,
produce, and test the battery pack. As part of putting the new battery pack into
production, changes to the assembly processes need to be made. A trial has been
completed at a single location. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the project, and the
Architecture Board have approved the plan to roll out these changes to all plants.
Preliminary Architecture Contracts are being developed to detail the work needed to
put in place the new processes for each location. The EA team leader has called a
meeting to discuss the contracts. It is emphasized that the Architecture Contract will
serve as the key connection between architecture and implementation organizations.
The company mixes internal teams with a few third-party contractors at the locations.
The Chief Engineer is worried that the implementation and deployment will not be
consistent and of satisfactory quality.
The company has an established EA practice. It uses the TOGAF standard as the
foundation for its work including the internal EA framework. Additionally, the company
uses various management frameworks such as business planning, project
management, and operations management.
