Enterprise Architecture Modeling, Design and Transformation: Defining the Missing Links
Outline -
• Propose a unifying conceptual framework guiding the
“front-end” of planned enterprise change (transformation)
management process
• Enterprise architecture design process (enterprise architecting)
• Choice of enterprise architecture for emphasis
• Enterprise architecture modeling strategies
• Transition moves available for enterprise transformation
• Show how the framework links together a number of the
key design decisions that need to be considered
simultaneously, under alternative combinations of major
contingency condition
Comparative Analysis of Supply Chain Management Practices by Boeing and Airbus: Long-Term Strategic Implications
Research Goals and Approach:
Goals -
• Develop an improved understanding of emerging supply chain management
strategies and practices in the commercial aerospace industry
• Explore the longer-term implications of the findings for supply chain management
practices in the aerospace industry in the future/
Approach -
• Conduct a comparative analysis of supply chain management practices by Boeing
and Airbus
• Focus on two large development programs -- the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the
Airbus A380 Navigator
• Concentrate on the common set of suppliers supporting both programs to develop a
sharp “compare-and contrast” perspective, looking at Boeing & Airbus from the
vantage point of these common suppliers
• Capture bottom-up “supplier’s voice” to complement “top-down” perspective, while
controlling for any “embellished” top-down view from the two companie
Roadmap for Building Lean Supplier Networks (Roadmap Tool)
This tool represents a "how-to" implementation guide that lays out a structured process for evolving lean supply chain management capabilities in order to build lean supplier networks. The Roadmap Tool is linked to the Transition-to-Lean Roadmap (TTL) at the enterprise level and follows a process architecture similar to that used in the TTL. It defines major building blocks and specific implementation steps. It also identifies key interactions and major feedback loops. In addition, the tool provides implementation aids ("Roadmap Explorations"). For example, for each major building block, it defines inputs, outputs, barriers, enablers, potential metrics, and tools and methods. At the same time, it discusses a number of issues and questions that are commonly faced in such an implementation effort (e.g., why, what, who, how, where, when) and identifies potential tensions or conflicts that can be anticipated and proactively addressed. Finally, the Supplier Networks Transformation Toolkit Roadmap Tool can be used to accelerate on-going lean supply chain transformation efforts. It can also be used by companies just starting their journey to develop lean supplier networks
