Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 69

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it accurately reflects the Lean setup's throughput when converting to a Discrete operation, ensuring the runtime and process quantity align with the production flow. Options A, B, and C do not maintain the correct runtime or quantities needed to mirror the Lean processing, leading to discrepancies in the operation's efficiency.
