A food processing company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and manufactures yogurt. The active culture (a key ingredient) has a variable potency that affects the required quantity in each batch order. The company needs to adjust the quantity of the active culture based on its batch attribute for 'potency percentage' to ensure a consistent final product. Which feature should be configured to automate this ingredient quantity adjustment?
A manufacturing firm is implementing Engineering Change Management. They need to establish a formal review process for all proposed changes to their core products. The process requires that a cross-functional team, including members from engineering, production, and quality assurance, must approve a change before it can be converted into an engineering change order. Which TWO components are essential to configure this approval workflow? (Select TWO)
A company produces industrial machinery and subcontracts the powder coating operation for the machine's chassis. The company ships the raw steel chassis to the vendor, who then applies the coating and ships it back. To manage this, a functional consultant creates a route operation for the subcontracted work and links it to a service item. How should the bill of materials (BOM) for the finished machinery be configured to ensure the raw steel chassis is consumed from the company's inventory when it is shipped to the subcontractor?
A company is configuring Planning Optimization for its multi-site operations. To improve performance, they want to ensure that the planning run for their European sites only considers demand and supply within Europe, while a separate run handles North America. Which configuration is most critical for segregating the planning runs by region?
A plastics manufacturer uses a resource group of three identical injection molding machines. To optimize scheduling, they need to ensure that production jobs can be scheduled on any of the three machines based on availability. However, certain complex molds require a specific machine that has been upgraded with higher pressure capabilities. What should be configured on the resources and routes to support this requirement?
True or False: When using the Production floor execution interface, time registration for production jobs requires a worker to be associated with a time registration group and a calculation group before they can post journals.
A company sells configurable server racks. A customer can choose the height of the rack, the type of cooling fan, and the number of power distribution units (PDUs). The sales price must be calculated based on these choices. For example, a taller rack costs more, a premium fan adds a fixed amount, and each PDU adds a per-unit cost. How should a consultant implement this pricing logic within a constraint-based product configuration model?
A company wants to absorb factory overhead costs into their manufactured product costs. They have identified two main overheads: a factory-wide electricity cost, which should be applied as a percentage of the total raw material cost, and a machine maintenance cost, which should be applied as a fixed hourly rate for every hour a machine resource is used. In the costing sheet setup, which TWO node types should be used to model these overheads? (Select TWO)
A production planner is reviewing the production schedule using a Gantt chart. They notice that a high-priority production order is scheduled to start late due to capacity constraints on a bottleneck resource. The planner identifies a lower-priority job scheduled earlier on the same resource that can be postponed. What is the most direct action the planner can take within the Gantt chart to reschedule the orders?
A company implements lean manufacturing and uses scheduled kanbans to supply a production line. To avoid overloading the work cell, they want to limit the total processing time of all kanban jobs planned for any single day. If the total planned time exceeds 8 hours for the work cell, no new kanbans should be scheduled for that day. Which Kanban rule configuration achieves this?
