Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing — Question 47

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 = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes).
• B. Create a route with a runtime = 10. a process quantity = 6. and the operation's hours/time = 1.
• C. Create a route with a runtime = 1. a process quantity = 1, and the operation s hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes).
• D. Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes).

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it sets the route's runtime to 1, which aligns with the Lean throughput, while maintaining a process quantity of 6 to match the desired flow. Options B, C, and D either incorrectly adjust the runtime or process quantity, which would not accurately reflect the Lean setup's requirements for the Discrete operation.
