Question 3

A business unit of a transnational manufacturer wants to implement a robust process for addressing integritycritical equipment deterioration incidents. Timely and complete resolution of such incidents is vital for the

business unit’s continuous safe and profitable operation. Treating each incident involves many employees from

different departments extensively collaborating and exchanging information. That information is spread across

multiple systems having their access limited to particular user groups. With the current manual process, some

incidents get forgotten and remain unresolved for years.

The project’s Sponsor is an Equipment Integrity and Reliability Advisor, who moved into this position from

another business unit. That business unit implemented a proprietary application to integrate the information and

to assist in tracking and managing the incidents. Having a positive experience with the application, the Sponsor

is suggesting to customize it and reuse in the new business unit.

The business unit’s Enterprise Architect (EA), who is responsible for assessing solution options and presenting

them to executive decision makers, has a few concerns with adopting the existing application. The application

uses point-to-point interfaces with other data sources whereas the business unit’s target architecture relies on a

data warehouse-based integration. Moreover, the two business units use different legacy systems, as well as

different front-end implementation technologies. Additionally, the existing application is monolingual, while the

business unit needs user interfaces and some data to be presented in two languages. With all of this, it may be

easier to build a new application from scratch than to customize the existing one. To understand which option is

better, the EA asks a business analyst (BA) to define business requirements.

The EA wants to understand whether the integration capabilities of the existing solution match the business

unit's IT landscape. The requirement definition that the EA needs should read as, "Each record of an incident

shall __________."

Options :

A : be associated with the unit of equipment to which it belongs."

B : include the associated equipment-s information from the asset management system."

C : contain the ID of the equipment to which it belongs."

D : be related to a unit of equipment using the Equipment ID stored in the asset management system."

Answer: B
