Abstract

Abstract: Organizations use several standards and frameworks to sustain their supply chain performance improvement to be able to compete and cope with the fast changing market, where data-science and information became decisive to success, and continuity is crucial. Based on Business-IT alignment and Service Oriented Architecture "SOA". The research suggests a model that converges The Open Group Architecture Forum TOGAF framework with Lean Six Sigma "LSS" for performance and tasks improvement in industries and services Extended Supply Chain Operations. A TOGAF's Architecture Development Method "ADM" phases, iterations, features and information architecture mapped to LSS's DMAIC stages for a systematic processes wastes removal, knowledge creation and data-mining to develop a unified model that sustains supply chain efficiency and performance, pushes them to a new level of edge technology infrastructure of service-bus, Data-Center and Data-Hub, advantages of resiliency, business continuity and savings. Supply Chain measures identified as possible activities, based on knowledge accumulated and active ADM-phases. A literature review was followed to collect the common features, characteristics, principles and tools listings in the new model to achieve a full converged model of a continuous optimization nature.
