Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing — Question 6

A company is looking to use Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
The company is in the process of redesigning and retooling an existing manufacturing plant to support a large long-running contract. They want to be able to forecast capacity to easily ramp up for additional products.
You need to set up the environment.
Which type of manufacturing should you implement?

Answer options

• A. Lean
• B. Discrete
• C. Job shop
• D. Process

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Discrete manufacturing, as it is best suited for managing distinct items that can be counted, such as those needed for a large contract. Lean focuses on minimizing waste, Job shop is more flexible for custom jobs, and Process manufacturing is used for continuous production of goods, which does not align with the company's need for capacity forecasting and product ramp-up.
