Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 68

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 = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation’s hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/60 minutes).
• C. 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).
• D. 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).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it accurately reflects the required setup for the Discrete operation that corresponds with the Lean production flow's metrics. The runtime must account for the total processing time of the Lean setup, and the operation's hours/time should be the runtime divided by the standard minutes in an hour. The other options either miscalculate the runtime or the operation time, making them incorrect.
