Resilient business enterprises are able to survive strategic disruptions like technology disruptions and come back more successful. They succeed because they develop and effectively implement the resilience strategies of mitigation, adaption, and transformation. This paper proposes an integrated resilience framework that is based on a combination of enterprise architecture and business architecture frameworks. At the core of the proposed framework is a meta-model and a method. The framework guides the development of a unified vision of how a business enterprise can address a specific strategic disruption and transform itself in a successful way. The framework articulates the vision through the lens of business blueprint views that guide the formation of transformation initiatives. Through the mapping capabilities of the framework, the transformation initiatives cross over the boundaries between organization structures and domains. In the last section we demonstrate our proposed method and meta-model with the help of a case study.

The chemical industry has sustained the development of global economies by providing an astonishing variety of products and services, while also consuming massive amounts of raw materials and energy. Chemical firms are currently under tremendous pressure to become lean enterprises capable of executing not only traditional lean manufacturing practices but also emerging competing strategies of digitalization and sustainability. All of these are core competencies required for chemical firms to compete and thrive in future markets. Unfortunately, reports of successful transformation are so rare among chemical firms that acquiring the details of these cases would seem an almost impossible mission. The severe lack of knowledge about these business transformations thus provided a strong motivation for this research. Using The Open Group Architecture Framework, we performed an in-depth study on a real business transformation occurring at a major international chemical corporation, extracting the architecture framework possibly adopted by this firm to become a lean enterprise. This comprehensive case study resulted in two major contributions to the field of sustainable business transformation: (1) a custom lean enterprise architecture framework applicable to common chemical firms making a similar transformation, and (2) a lean enterprise model developed to assist chemical firms in comprehending the intricate and complicated dynamics between lean manufacturing, digitalization, and sustainability.

Direktorat Metrologi merupakan instansi pemerintahan yang bergerak dibidang pelayanan masyarakat dalam melakukan pengujian alat ukur, takar, timbang, dan perlengkapannya (UTTP). Dalam melaksanakan tugas pokok yang tercantum dalam Peraturan Menteri Perdagangan Republik Indonesia (Permendagri) nomor 8/M-DAG/PER/2/2016 tentang Organisasi dan Tata Kerja Kementrian Perdagangan. Terdapat salah satu aktivitas utama yang dilakukan, yaitu program pasar tertib ukur yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan citra pasar tradisional melalui kebenaran hasil pengukuran pada pelayanan perizinan dan non-perizinan. Hal ini dapat dicapai dengan adanya teknologi informasi yang digunakan Direktorat Metrologi melalui sistem informasi Pelayanan Satu Pintu (PSP) yang digunakan untuk pengelolaan data penerimaan layanan kemetrologian. Namun dalam sistem informasi yang ada saat ini belum dapat memenuhi seluruh kebutuhan pada aktivitas bisnis yang dilakukan, sehingga sebagian aktivitas harus dilakukan secara manual. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut dan menyelaraskan antara aspek bisnis dengan aspek teknologi informasi, maka dibuat perancangan enterprise architecture dengan metode TOGAF ADM framework. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) terdiri dari beberapa fase yang dijadikan guidelines dalam melakukan perancangan enterprise architecture, yaitu preliminary phase, architecture vision, business architecture, information system architecture, dan technology architecture. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibahas strategi bisnis dan infrastruktur Direktorat Metrologi khususnya fungsi kepegawaian dan keuangan. Dengan menggunakan framework TOGAF ADM dapat menghasilkan architecture blueprint sebagai bahan untuk menyusun IT master plan Direktorat Metrologi.

This chapter presents the use of enterprise architecture to manage the growing complexity in aviation. Any aviation organization or air traffic management system can be considered as a complex enterprise which involves different stakeholders and uses various systems to execute its business needs. The complexity of such an enterprise makes it quite challenging to introduce any change since it might have an impact on various stakeholders as well as on different systems inside of the enterprise. That is why there is a need for a technique to manage the enterprise and to anticipate, plan, and support the transformation of the enterprise to execute its strategy. This technique can be provided by enterprise architecture, a relatively new discipline that focuses on describing the enterprise current and future states as well as providing a holistic view of it. The authors describe the modern enterprise architecture frameworks and provide an example of an application of one of them (European ATM Architecture framework) to identify and manage changes in aviation.

Pada era – digital ini, perkembangan teknologi informasi menjadikan TI sebagai cara bagi perusahaan untuk mencapai tujuannya. Tidak hanya membantu dalam proses pekerjaan namun juga dapat menjadi solusi dari sebuah permasalahan dan strategi bagi perusahaan. Dalam proses pengimplementasian TI, diperlukan perancangan dengan analisis yang mendalam sesuai dengan kondisi perusahaan. Hal ini bertujuan agar TI yang diterapkan dapat menjadi solusi, strategi, efektif dan efisien bagi perusahaan. Perkembangan TI ini juga mendorong perusahaan tipe manufaktur untuk terus berkembang. Pada salah satu perusahaan manufaktur di Bandung khususnya pada Fungsi Pengelolaan Fasilitas, mengalami kendala yaitu pada kontrol aset dan kebutuhan aplikasi. Hal ini menjadi pendorong perusahaan manufaktur tersebut untuk mengembangkan TI pada perusahaannya. Salah satu tools untuk menciptakan teknologi informasi yang sejalan dengan tujuan bisnis adalah dengan menggunakan Enterprise Architecture (EA). Melalui EA dapat memaksimalkan investasi penggunaan TI pada suatu organisasi. Pada penelitian ini, perancangan EA menggunakan framework The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF ADM). Penelitian ini dilakukan pada perusahaan manufaktur di Bandung dan berfokus mulai dari fase preliminary hingga fase business architecture, pada fungsi pengelolaan fasilitas dan menggunakan framework TOGAF ADM. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode descriptive dan bertujuan untuk memberikan perancangan arsitektur bisnis sebagai solusi pada fungsi pengelolaan fasilitas untuk mengoptimalkan proses bisnisnya dan dengan menggunakan TI.

In recent years, enterprise architecture (EA) has captured increasing interest as a means to systematically consolidate and manage various enterprise artefacts in order to provide holistic decision support for business/IT alignment and business/IT landscapes management. To provide a holistic perspective on the enterprise over time, EA frameworks need to co-evolve with the changes in the enterprise and its IT over time. In this paper the authors focus on the emergence of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). There is a need to integrate SOA with EA to keep EA relevant and to use EA products to help drive successful SOA. This paper investigates and compares the integration of SOA elements in five widely used EA frameworks: Archimate, The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), Department of Defence Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). It identifies what SOA elements are considered and their relative position in the overall structure. The results show that services and related elements are far from being well-integrated constructs in current EA frameworks and that the different EA frameworks integrated SOA elements in substantially different ways. The results can support the academic EA and SOA communities with a closer and more consistent integration of EA and SOA and support practitioners in identifying an EA framework that provides the SOA support that matches their requirements.

Despite the importance and the strategic role of Business Intelligence (BI) in organizations and its key impact on successfully executing corporate strategies, in most cases, strategic planning and performance management projects are done independently from BI projects, therefore a holistic and an integrated framework has been proposed in this paper for aligning Business Intelligence initiatives with corporate strategies. This framework as an interdisciplinary work borrows the approach of the Enterprise Architecture frameworks and its structured logical thinking about the organization and was refined through gathering and analyzing expert's opinions. This paper also uses a case study in one bank with the aim of clarifying the application of the proposed framework.

Often, in an enterprise engineering (EE) project, it is quite difficult to figure out what exactly needs to be done due to the rather generic (and often proprietary) character of the EE methods available. In addition, selecting appropriate elements from the multitude of available and emerging architecture frameworks (AFs) in order to model and manage the given EE undertaking is a non-trivial task. This chapter proposes a way to assist the inference of processes and to facilitate the selection and use of AF elements needed to accomplish EE projects. This is accomplished by assessing and organising AF elements into a structured repository (SR) using a generalised architecture framework (ISO15704:2000 Annex A) and by providing a “method to create methods” (a meta-methodology) for specific EE tasks that also guides the selection of AF elements from the SR. A brief introduction outlining the previously mentioned EE problems is followed by the description of the meta-methodology principle and of the assessment reference used. Next, a case study presents a sample application of the meta-methodology for a real EE project. The chapter closes with conclusions on the presented approach and a description of further work to refine and enrich the meta-methodology.
