  Correct Answer:

  

  Explanation:

  Box 1: Product dimensions

  There are five product dimensions: color, configuration, size, style, and version. You combine product dimensions in dimension groups and assign dimension groups to product masters. The combinations of product dimensions determine how

  product variants are defined.

  Product dimensions are characteristics that serve to identify a product variant. You can use combinations of product dimensions to define product variants. You must define at least one product dimension for a product master in order to create

  a product variant.

  Note: Limited-edition bicycle process

  The limited-edition bicycles are made up of an Adventure Works custom frame with all other parts created by local artists and manufacturers.

  Each bicycle has a unique set of new items that make up the bill of materials (BOM) because all parts are created to specification.

  Limited-edition bicycle BOM assembly process

  The prototype process for the limited-edition bicycles is shown in the following graphic:

  Box 2: Style, color, and configuration

  Customers must be able to place sales orders for the item in the chosen frame configuration, including style and color.

  Note: The version product dimension

  Version is a product dimension that is intended to help you maintain and track multiple versions of a product throughout the supply chain. Version tracking is essential to the success of manufacturers that operate in a world of constantly

  shrinking product lifecycles, increased quality and reliability requirements, and increased focus on product safety.

  As a standard product dimension, version will behave similarly to the existing product dimensions (size, style, color, and configuration). Therefore, you can use it for other purposes besides tracking product versions.

  Note:

  Adventure Works occasionally reuses components from existing bicycles, but most limited-edition bicycles are made of handcrafted components designed to specifications.

  Each limited-edition bicycle is built, and hand signed by a single Adventure Works artisan.

  The limited-edition bicycles must use the same parts used for previous limited-edition bicycles, except for the unique paint colors. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/pim/product-dimensions

• Question 12:

  HOTSPOT

  A company implements Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company is setting up a production line to make a new product.

  The new production line will run three shifts five days a week. Each shift produces 100 widgets. Each machine performs specific functions that represent a sequenced step in the manufacturing process. The process requires the use of a

  qualified machinist. One of the machinists who floats among machines requires time off for appointments every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.

  You must be able to track the availability of the floating worker and each machine, as well as schedule production orders for the new line based on capacity to perform the work.

  You need to configure the route.

  Which configuration option should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

  Correct Answer:

  

  Explanation:

  Box 1: Resource group

  Operations resources are the machines, tools, workers, facilities, physical areas or vendors that perform the activities of a project or a production process.

  Resource groups

  A resource group is a set of operations resources that represents the granularity at which you want to schedule resources when you use the operations scheduling method. Therefore, resource groups typically correspond to the physical

  organization of work cells that is demarcated by yellow lines on the production shop floor.

  Note: Resource capabilities

  A capability is the ability of an operations resource to perform a particular activity. You can assign one or more capabilities to an operations resource. The scheduling engine will then allocate resources by matching the resource requirements

  of each activity to the capabilities of the available operations resources.

  Box 2: Working times template

  Working time templates define the working hours throughout a week and are used to generate working times for a period of time.

  Incorrect:

  * Calendar deviations can be used to adjust capacity on certain days based on personnel or other events. For example, a machine may only be running at 60% one day because of downtime for maintenance.

  Explanation:

  Box 1: Vendor's calendar

  Cornmeal is purchased from one supplier that ships only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

  Calendar for a vendor

  To indicate the working days of a vendor, you can assign a purchase calendar to the vendor on the Purchase order defaults page for a vendor.

  Box 2: Coverage group calendar

  The bakeries must have enough cornmeal to meet demands for Friday production of muffins.

  Calendar for a coverage group

  A coverage group indicates a common set of parameters used for replenishment of the items that belong to the given coverage group.

  Box 3: Warehouse calendar

  Ingredient transfers occur frequently between the different bakery facilities.

  Calendar for a warehouse

  You can assign a calendar to a warehouse to indicate the open dates for receiving and shipping. If no calendar has been assigned to a warehouse, it is assumed that it is open all days.

• Question 15:

  HOTSPOT

  A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

  The company plans to use the Asset management module to maintain its installed base of milling machine fixtures.

  The module must be configured to handle the following requirements:

  An oil sampling must be taken from each machine at regular intervals.

  All calibration types (tooling, instrumentation, and tolerances) that share a required performance skillset must be managed together.

  The company is unable to perform in-house preventive maintenance skills on the pneumatic tapping machines. Therefore, the company hires outside services for it.

  All maintenance must be scheduled at the same time for efficiency and cost savings.

  You need to configure the system.

  Which option should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

  NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  Hot Area:

  

  Correct Answer:

  

  Explanation:

  Box 1: Maintenance job type

  An oil sampling must be taken from each machine at regular intervals.

  An asset type is attached to every asset. Asset types define the maintenance job types (and therefore, the maintenance jobs) that can be performed on assets. When you create a work order, you must select a maintenance job type. You can

  select only the maintenance job types that are related to the setup of the asset type that is used for the asset.

  Incorrect:

  * Maintenance job type variants can be set up on a maintenance job type. Maintenance job type variants define variations of a job type, such as sizes (small, medium, or large), periods (weekly, biweekly, one month, or three months), and configurations (low standard, flexible, or high performance).

  Box 2: Maintenance job type category

  All calibration types (tooling, instrumentation, and tolerances) that share a required performance skillset must be managed together.

  Maintenance job type categories are used to collect a group of maintenance job types for overview purposes. Examples of maintenance job type categories might include Calibration, Inspection, Overhaul, and Instrumentation.

  Box 3: Maintenance round

  The company is unable to perform in-house preventive maintenance skills on the pneumatic tapping machines. Therefore, the company hires outside services for it.

  Maintenance plans are used for preventive and reactive maintenance on individual assets. Maintenance rounds are used for preventive maintenance on a group or a set of assets.

  Note: Preventive maintenance overview

  In Asset Management, you can create maintenance plans and set them up on assets and functional locations. You can also set up maintenance rounds on functional locations. Maintenance plans on assets are active regardless of where the

  asset is installed. Maintenance plans and maintenance rounds on functional location are active for the assets currently installed at the location. Instead of setting up maintenance plans on assets, or setting up maintenance rounds on

  functional locations, you can create maintenance rounds that include multiple assets on which you need to perform related types of maintenance jobs in the same work routine. Maintenance rounds created from assets - instead of created on

  functional locations - means that you can select a number of assets for one maintenance round, which are not installed on the same functional location.

  Note: All maintenance must be scheduled at the same time for efficiency and cost savings.

• Question 16:

  HOTSPOT

  You are a lean manufacturer using Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Lead times and time fences are configured for all items.

  A sales representative is going to place a large order for a product. There are currently not enough raw materials available to manufacture the items.

  The order must have an accurate delivery date based on product availability at the time of order entry. The system must also create any production jobs and run any necessary explosions.

  You need to configure a mechanism to meet these requirements.

  What should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

  Correct Answer:

  

  Explanation:

  Box 1: Immediate replenishment

  Immediate replenishment lets you replenish inventory immediately after a location directive line fails to allocate inventory. The replenishment is based on a single line in the setup of the location directive. If inventory isn't on hand in the unit of

  measure that is specified by that line, replenishment of that unit of measure occurs immediately.

  Immediate replenishment provides an alternative to the method where the allocation of inventory is based on more lines in the location directive, and where the demand is summed at the end of the allocation and replenished in the unit of

  measure that is specified by the last line in the location directive.

  The benefits of using immediate replenishment are that replenishment can be limited by specific units and the quantity can be directed to specific locations.

  Where it applies

  Immediate replenishment is used during wave execution if allocation fails for a location directive line that a replenishment template is set for.

  Box 2: Business event

  Business scenario

  For example, you have a warehouse that has separate picking areas for the "box" and "each" units of measure. You want to optimize the picking process by picking as many boxes as possible and then picking any remaining quantity that is

  less than a box from the "each" area.

  In this case, you can use immediate replenishment.

  Incorrect:

  * Master planning Calendars and master planning, Delivery date of a planned purchase order The receipt date of a purchase indicates the date when you will receive the goods. It will be an open date in the calendar. The calendar that will be taken into account to indicate which days the purchase orders can be received are the following, in order from highest to lowest priority:

  Vendor's calendar

  Coverage group calendar

  Warehouse calendar for the receiving warehouse

  Note: At its core, Master planning allows companies to determine and balance the future need for raw materials and capacity to meet company goals. Master planning assesses the following:

  What raw materials and capacities are currently available?

  What raw materials and capacities are required to complete production? For example, what must be manufactured, purchased, transferred, or set aside as safety stock before you can complete production.

  Master planning uses the information to calculate the requirements and generate planned orders

  Capacity shortage reaction If the calculated start date is in the past, the start date is set to today. Automatic planning tries to load the kanban jobs on the period that is related to this date. If this process is not possible, automatic planning proceeds according to the capacity shortage reaction setting in the Lean production flow model.

  * A kanban is an essential part of a pull system of supply, which is a critical element of lean production/supply. When a kanban has been consumed, it should be passed (triggered) to the source of supply to replenish it. This source of supply is defined through the production flow activities to which the kanban is linked.

  Kanban rules in Supply Chain Management are tied to production flows as the foundation that defines the activities of a kanban. Kanban rules can be set up to support a variety of make-to-stock and make-to-order scenarios.
