    Enterprise Architecture Modeling, Design and Transformation: Defining the Missing Links

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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)

    Get PDF
    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
