Scenario: Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major supplier in the automotive
industry. The company is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants across the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production scheduling systems, as well as custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.
The company 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 planning 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 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 Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations. 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 diving their planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.
Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.]

You have been asked to select a set of principles most appropriate for guiding the team to define a robust solution.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
Complete the sentence. A set of architecture principles that cover every situation perceived meets the recommended criteria of__________.
Scenario: Reveille Bugle
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
For over 100 years, Reveille Bugle has been manufacturing brass bugles and other musical instruments.
North America has been the primary market for Reveille's products. However, the firm has now expanded into European markets and will soon establish a market in Latin America. A future expansion into the Asia Pacific region is also planned.
The firm is organized into several business units that each focus on manufacturing particular families of instruments such as brass, woodwind, and percussion. Each business unit has acquired other producers to create its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted in a complex environment with a high diversity of business and manufacturing systems.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program at Reveille Bugle has been functioning for several years. It has made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key standards. The CIO and the COO are joint sponsors of the EA program. By all measures, the EA program is mature, with an active Architecture Board and a well-defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the TOGAF 9 Architecture Content Framework. The EA process framework is well coordinated with the PMO, Systems Development, and Operations functions.
The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales & Marketing organization according to four geographic market sectors: North America; Europe, Africa, and Middle East; Latin America; and Asia- Pacific. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve the ability of Marketing to collect more meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to better address market needs with effective marketing campaigns and global product presence.
A Request for Architecture Work has been approved. As the architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed a concern about whether the firm will be able to adapt to the proposed architecture and how to manage the associated risks.
