A Review of Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Performance Management in the Transportation Sector Digital Transformation

This paper reviews the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) for strategic performance management in the transport sector's digital transformation, focusing on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) theory. EA is essential for strategic planning and performance management in the transport industry, which is vital to the economy. The study analyses academic publications, industry reports, and case studies to assess EA's benefits, drawbacks, and novel solutions in transportation. The Balanced Scorecard framework, which measures and manages performance holistically, should be used to align EA projects. EA and the Balanced Scorecard theory may provide a solid foundation for strategic performance management in the transportation sector's digital transition. It aligns goals, objectives, and KPIs with strategic vision and mission. EA also helps identify important capabilities, processes, and IT systems to accomplish desired results. It also improves decision-making by offering an integrated perspective of the organisation's resources, capabilities, and dependencies. In the transportation industry, EA for strategic performance management faces obstacles, including imprecise communication, insufficient governance, and limited planning. Innovative solutions, including improved communication channels, stronger governance systems, and enhanced planning techniques, are recommended to tackle these issues. This review analysis sheds light on the transport sector's digital transition using EA and the Balanced Scorecard theory. It advises researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to use EA to improve performance management and maintain transportation industry growth.

Contributions of enterprise architecture to software engineering: A systematic literature review

AbstractEnterprise architecture is a growing trend that aims to help deal with the complexity of socio‐technical systems such as human organizations, as well as their information technology and systems areas. Nevertheless, the contribution of enterprise architecture to the field of software engineering remains unclear. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to see how enterprise architecture is used in software development and maintenance practice. To this end, we first carried out a search in the SCOPUS database and then organized the papers according to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge to determine what areas of software engineering are covered by each research study. To understand how enterprise architecture is used, we established a classification based on ISO 42010 and TOGAF. From the systematic literature review, we noticed that the early stages of development are the most impacted by the enterprise architecture. On the other hand, we observed that enterprise architecture is of assistance in the areas of engineering management, engineering processes, and engineering models and methods; these tasks are carried out by teams or managers using different, often agile, development methods or standards. In turn, we found that the most common categories are architecture descriptions; these are often used to facilitate communication and information‐sharing between different stakeholders, in addition to frameworks, which will help to establish common practices in the organization related to the joint use of enterprise architecture and software development.

Application of Enterprise Architecture and Artificial Neural Networks to Optimize the Production Process

Production optimization is a complex process because it must take into account various resources of the company and its environment. In this process, it is necessary to consider the enterprise as a whole, taking into account the interaction between its key elements, both in the technological and business layer. For this reason, the article proposes the use of enterprise architecture, which facilitates the interaction of these layers in the production optimization process. As a result, a proprietary meta-model of enterprise architecture was presented, which, based on good practices and the assumptions of enterprise architecture, facilitates the construction of detailed optimization models in the area of planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and routing. The production optimization model formulated as a mathematical programming problem is also presented. The model was built taking into account the meta-model. Due to the computational complexity of the optimization model, a method using an artificial neural network (ANN) was proposed to estimate the potential result based on the structure of the model and a given data instance before the start of optimization. The practical application of the presented approach has been shown based on the example of optimization of the production of an exemplary production cell where the cost of storage and the number of unfulfilled orders and maintenance are optimized.

The development of information technology that has occurred to date has made information technology necessary in an organization's business in various fields. Information technology support is very much needed in the current era of globalization because it can increase business effectiveness and efficiency. Utilization of technology optimally and in line with business processes is the main thing in developing the application of information technology. Senior High School (SHS) is one of the educational agencies in Indonesia that is developing following the development of technology. SHS institutions realize how important it is to apply technology in supporting their business processes. At present, the SHS institution has been helped with technology such as the use of Excel in all recording in schools, but the SHS institution itself has not implemented optimal and integrated information technology in every field of school activity which often occur in data loss, delivery of information both in terms of learning as well as school activities that require a long time, and not integrated the school system. The application of information technology that will be used by a school must be by the goals of the school so that the application can help the school well in achieving school business goals, the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) in the application of information technology to help analyze information technology planning by SHS institutions. This study will use The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) to assist in application planning. The final results of this study proposed six application blueprints namely Academic System, Non-Academic System, Procurement Management, Financial Management, HR Management, and Data Management which are tailored to the business process and the needs of the SHS institution.

Proposed Enterprise Architecture design for Agroforestry and Ecotourism towards Industry 4.0

Management of forest resources can generate income for individuals or companies including agroforestry and ecotourism. In times of a pandemic like recent times, the application of technology with the Industry 4.0 framework is needed the most and is no longer a privilege. However, the implementation of Industry 4.0 technology requires large investment or cost so that a collaborative ecosystem is required from several stakeholders such as forest planter, crop planters, livestock and ecotourism business actors with suppliers, customers and policy makers. In its application, even for Information Technology (IT) system in general, the use of Enterprise Architecture is a mediator between business language and IT language. With all of that background and a literature study approach, this research will propose an Enterprise Architecture design with an Industry 4.0 framework in the agroforestry industry and ecotourism that can be used together to form an integrated ecosystem from various stakeholders, both for companies of various scales and small farmers if supported by the government or a larger company for better efficiency and common interests.

Towards generic platform to support collaboration in freight transportation: taxonomic literature and design based on Zachman framework

ABSTRACT To operate more efficiently and sustainably, logistics service providers (LSPs) adopt collaborative approaches. Digitalisation present opportunities to realise such approaches and solve the related issues. In this perspective, we conducted taxonomic literature based on Zachman framework to obtain a holistic view from which we develop a digital platform for supporting horizontal collaboration in road freight transportation (DCRFT). Our contribution aims to build a generic system able to consider many varieties of related forms, approaches, requirements and rules. By this methodology, we demonstrate step by step the use of Enterprise Architecture to define a reference architecture of DCRFT including a decision framework for the management of collaborative networks and a system model based on emerging technologies especially fog cloud, IoT and Big data.

Enterprise architecture for high flexible and agile company in automotive industry

Abstract In the last two decades, the alignment of Information Technologies (IT) and the business needs are continuous requirements. These needs arise from continuous development of a specific solution for a specific problem, without ever worrying if, in the future, such solutions can be integrated to others. In order to line up the IT with the business needs in terms of development of information systems, the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) approaches start to be explored. The existence of an EA allows the communication infrastructure, applications, security plans, data, network services and other domains to be somehow correlated. The support for EA’s development also benefits the maintenance, since the out of date or inoperability can be avoided. This short paper describes the approach that is being followed to implement an EA on an agile and flexile automotive company, the Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal. In order to achieve this goal, an investigation is being conducted over what has already been done in the company to align with internal guidelines. Later on, a survey and analysis will be conducted on what is already implemented and correspondent business objectives alignment. From the current state of the existing architecture, a plan for EA improvements will be analyzed and proposed.

Implementing MBSE – An Enterprise Approach to an Enterprise Problem

AbstractModel Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is now widely accepted throughout the industry, from commercial to aerospace and defense. However, while we understand and accept the principles of MBSE, successful adoption and implementation is still a challenge within the industry. The migration from document‐based systems engineering processes to MBSE requires more than purchasing tools and a one‐week course on Systems Modeling Language (SysML). MBSE does not change the practice of Systems Engineering as defined in the INCOSE SE Handbook or ISO/IEEE 15288, but it does affect the way in which systems engineering processes are implemented and supported within and across organizations. Organizations adopting MBSE must address issues such as new skill and competency requirements for systems engineers, model and data management over the lifecycle of the system, and integration with other engineering tools and processes, among others. It is not a tool problem or a modeler problem. It is an enterprise problem and requires an enterprise approach. The approach must be defined and guided by an enterprise architecture, which is broader than just the engineering tools and their interfaces. It includes the enterprise strategic vision, capabilities, operational concepts, organizations, and material solutions required to achieve MBSE adoption, how they relate to one another, and their evolution over time. This paper provides a broad overview of the fundamentals of MBSE adoption and the broader effort of digital engineering transformation, presenting the digital engineering environment as a system‐of‐systems. It presents the use of enterprise architecture as a roadmap for MBSE adoption within the industry.

An integrated research for architecture-based energy management in sustainable airports

Abstract Energy Management (EM) has become crucial and much more complicated for airports with the introduction of various energy sources, technologies and different comfort requirements. Regarding the aviation industry as one of the major sources of global warming and air pollution, this situation becomes highly critical. However, the review of literature on Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) for airports shows that the proposed solutions are usually domain-specific, platform-depended and away from suggesting complete solutions and architectures. Therefore, the main argument of this study is that a holistic and integrated approach should be adopted for EM in airports and we claim the notion of sustainability through the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA)-based EM. In this paper, we present the results of a two-faced research study. Action Research (AR) and Design Science Research (DSR) methods are combined to adopt an integrated approach. At the first phase, an EA is developed and evaluated, and then, this is followed by the second phase with three cases to find the potential energy savings in Istanbul Airport. Along with the findings, the primary and secondary contributions of this research brought to the EM knowledge domain are presented. Consequently, there is an important potential for energy saving in the terminal buildings, which would be approximately 70% of the total airport energy consumption. There is also a nearly 250.000 $/year potential saving, and also 121.397 $/year for the daylight time and period. This research can be seen as an initial attempt to the enhancement of sustainable airports, and therefore, it has showed the potential for using EAs as a means to improve EM in airports. We hope that this study may help researchers to obtain an overview of existing and possible approaches to sustainability through the use of EAs for EM practices.

Performance expectancy and use of enterprise architecture: training as an intervention

Purpose– Enterprise architecture (EA) aligns information systems with business processes to enable firms to reach their strategic objectives and, when effectively employed by organizations, can lead to enhanced levels of performance. However, while many firms may adopt EA, it is often not used extensively. The purpose of this paper is to examine how performance expectancy (PE) and training affect the degree to which organizations use EA.Design/methodology/approach– The paper employed a survey method to gather data from IT professionals, senior managers, and consultants who work within organizations that have adopted EA. Covariance-based structural equation modeling was used to analyze the research model and test the hypotheses.Findings– The paper found PE to be a significant predictor of EA use. In addition, training is also shown to enhance use of EA while also playing a mediating role within the relationship between PE and use of EA.Research limitations/implications– The study is limited by the focus only on training as an intervention. Other mediators and/or moderators such as top management support and organization culture may also play an important role and should be examined in future studies. Nonetheless, the study demonstrates the critical role that training can play in facilitating widespread use of EA within organizations.Practical implications– Widespread use is a critical success factor for organizations that want to gain the maximum possible benefit from EA. To achieve extensive use, the study suggests that organizations that adopt EA should consider implementing a formal and robust education and training program.Originality/value– This study extends the research on information technology training by examining the role of training as an intervention within the technology acceptance paradigm. The paper also contributes to the literature regarding post-adoption innovation diffusion by demonstrating the efficacy of organizational training in promoting widespread usage.

Towards an enterprise architecture for public administration using a top-down approach

The use of Enterprise Architectures is becoming increasingly widespread in the private sector. Borrowing insights from enterprise reference architectures developed during the last decade, IT vendors and companies belonging to specific industries are establishing reference data and process models advancing the standardisation of their businesses and creating a more integrated environment for their activities. Although public administrations share the same problem of non-standardisation, which is being magnified rapidly in a changing and demanding environment, little has been done so far in the direction of integration. This article builds a basis, shows initial directions and attempts to stimulate interest in a PA enterprise framework. Following a top-down approach and employing concepts from the fields of public administration, enterprise integration and generic process and data modeling, the outline of the ArchPad enterprise architecture for Public Administration is presented.
