Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 112
You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item.
This 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 = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
- B. Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
- C. Create a route with a runtime = 10, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
- D. Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Option A is correct because it accurately reflects the Lean setup's production flow with the specified runtime and process quantity. The other options either miscalculate the runtime or the process quantity in relation to the Lean throughput, failing to mirror the original production flow effectively.
