Exam 400-007 topic 1 question 227 discussion

The architect should initially focus on A. Modularity.

I think ans is D In just-in-time manufacturing, fast data transmission and low latency are critical. This is because the supply chain and manufacturing processes are time sensitive, and delays can have a direct impact on business efficiency. Low latency infrastructure enables real-time information exchange and is a key component of successful just-in-time manufacturing.

In a just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing model, the focus is on optimizing supply chain efficiency and ensuring components are available precisely when needed. Given that the car manufacturer does not produce all components in-house, the architect should prioritize a modular network design that can seamlessly integrate with external suppliers, partners, and production systems. Modularity ensures the network can adapt to the dynamic needs of the JIT model, such as connecting new suppliers or handling varying workloads.
