Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 26

A customer produces light projection toys for holiday decorations throughout the year.
You are in the first month of a season. Production flows take one day to complete.
The floor supervisor reports that seasonal production targets will not be met. You review the Kanban schedule board and identify thousands of unplanned jobs.
You need to plan the jobs to be completed two weeks prior to the start of the next season.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Set the Automatic planning option for each unscheduled job to Yes.
• B. Manually schedule each unscheduled job forward from the date of the end of the season.
• C. Manually schedule each unscheduled job to the previous period of the end of the next season.
• D. Set the Automatic planning option for each unscheduled job to No.
• E. Manually schedule each unscheduled job on its due date.
• F. Manually schedule each unscheduled job to the next period of the start of the next season.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because enabling the Automatic planning option for unscheduled jobs will allow the system to efficiently schedule them in accordance with the production timeline. Option C is also correct as manually scheduling jobs to the previous period of the end of the next season ensures they are completed in a timely manner. The other options do not effectively address the need to meet production targets within the specified timeframe.
