ANSWERS ALREADY PASSED!!
Discrete manufacturing
The production of distinct items such as automobiles, appliances, or computers.
use a bill of materials (BOM) and production follows a route, such as an assembly line.
processes are not continuous in nature. Each process can be individually started or stopped and
can be run at varying production rates.
Lean manufacturing
a method that focuses on minimizing waste within manufacturing systems while simultaneously
maximizing productivity
Takes into consideration waste created through overburden and waste created through
unevenness in workloads.
Emphasizes what adds value, and reduces everything that doesn't add value.
Derived from the Toyota Production System.
In D365 - consists of production flows, activities, and kanban rules
Process manufacturing
Common in the food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods, cannabis,
and biotechnology industries.
The relevant factors are ingredients, formulas, and bulk materials
Blends products together in a batch.
Builds or produces a product that can't be taken apart or be reversed.
Involves variable ingredients.
,Has product outputs such as coproducts and by-products.
RM often measured in weight/volume
D365 - integrated functionality for planning, managing, and distributing; associated with
formulas and manufacturing recipes
Resources
anything that is used to create, produce, or deliver a good or service over and beyond the
materials consumed in the process.
can be of different types, including machines, tools, people, vendors, or locations.
BoM
defines the materials required, the resource defines where the item is produced, and the route
determines the sequence of events to build the finished product.
Operations
tasks or work processes that are put together with a route to produce a specific product. Each task
is associated with a time allotment to complete the individual task.
Production groups
to establish relationships between the production order and ledger accounts. The ledger accounts
will be used to post or to group orders for reporting.
Production pools
to group production orders for processing urgent production orders or for deleting and posting
groups of orders.
,Properties
special attributes that you can assign to your resources for use in the scheduling process. These
attributes are connected to the working time template.
Resource capabilities (requirements)
reflects the various operations that a resource may need to perform in the route
allows the allocation of resources to be deferred until production is scheduled.
1. Product masters
2. Product variants
1. Hold the definition and rules that specify how distinct products are described and behave in
business processes. Based on these definitions, distinct products can be generated.
associated with a product dimension group and a configuration technology.
2. The name for these distinct products
1. Storage dimensions
2. Tracking dimensions
1. Control how items are stored and taken from inventory. Allows you to manage inventory on a
detailed level.
2. Serial and batch numbers provide companies with the ability to trace their products through
Supply Chain Management, which is essential for quality assurance purposes and when you deal
with warranties for a product.
Product attributes
provide additional details that you want to record for a particular product or category.
, Master Planning (net requirements plan)
calculates net requirements. It's based on actual current orders and enables companies to control
inventory replenishment on a short-term, day-to-day basis.
determines the supply (materials) and capacity (resources) needs that will meet current demand
(the net requirements).
In most companies, this plan is extended to include the longest cumulative lead time among the
products to be received.
forecast planning - gross requirements
intercompany MP - net requirements across legal entities
Two-master plan strategy
uses two independent plans: the static master plan and the dynamic master plan. Whether a
company operates with one or two master plan strategies depends on how it deals with order
simulations in relation to its daily operations.
With the ability to run fast dynamic plans, companies can quickly respond to market conditions.
Trade agreements
fixed price or discount agreements that are set up for one or more customers or vendors for the
sale or purchase of single or multiple products.
use trade agreement journals to create and maintain trade agreements.
Trade agreement parameters
describe the trade agreement discount options.
The discount field- how discounts are handled for lines of a specific sales or purchase order,
