Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing — Question 42

You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item.
The item has the following Lean setup:
✑ The setup uses a Lean schedule group with a throughput ratio=2
✑ The process activity tied to production flow has the following runtime activity times: time=3 min, per quantity=1
✑ The work cell capacity has a model type of Throughput and an average throughput quantity of 60 per a capacity period of standard workday (8-hour day)
✑ The throughput is 10 per hour
You need to set up a Discrete operation to mirror the item's production flow activity.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a route with a runtime =1, a process quantity =6, and the operation's hours/time =1
• B. Create a route with a runtime =1, a process quantity =10, and the operation's hours/time =1
• C. Create a route with a runtime =6, a process quantity =1, and the operation's hours/time =1
• D. Create a route with a runtime =10, a process quantity =6, and the operation's hours/time =1

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it establishes a route that aligns with the throughput requirements of the Lean setup, converting the production flow accurately. Option A creates a mismatch in processing capacity, while C and D do not reflect the necessary throughput and process quantity needed to mirror the original Lean configuration.
