Optimizing Automotive Manufacturing Systems through TOGAF Modelling

Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the viability of implementing the Open Group Architecture Framework to enhance the efficiency and performance of automotive manufacturing systems. The automotive industry remains confronted with challenges pertaining to the enhancement of manufacturing processes, the reduction of product development time, and the adjustment to swift technological progressions. The primary obstacles encountered in implementing process innovation, the complexity of the IT infrastructure, and the absence of system integration constitute the most significant challenges. The primary aim of this study is to present a resolution through the application of the TOGAF framework. By implementing this strategy, system synchronization will be enhanced, IT infrastructure will be simplified, and process innovation will be able to respond to market fluctuations more rapidly. The existing business processes are streamlined and consistent with the strategic progress of vehicle manufacturing firms. Nonetheless, business processes involving architectural applications continue to diverge from market demands and fail to align with evolving business requirements. In the context of automotive manufacturing, the TOGAF modeling methodology will be applied to analyze the data architecture, application architecture, strategic elements, and information technology infrastructure. Advise stakeholders in the automotive industry, facilitating the integration of TOGAF principles into endeavors to redesign systems. This will reduce the attainment of innovation, adaptability, and efficiency, all of which are critical for sustaining competitiveness in a dynamic marketplace. By applying TOGAF principles to the automotive manufacturing system, Enterprise Architecture can support ever more complex business requirements.
