A company implements Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for their Lean manufacturing environment.

There has been an engineering change to a fixed quantity product that is in production.

This change will add an additional processing step as the second step.

The existing version must be phased out and replaced by the new version.

You need to ensure that the engineering change takes affect at the end of the month.

Solution: 1.) Add a new version to the existing production flow.

Set the expiration date to the end of the month.

2.) Create an activity for the new process step and add it in the proper sequence 3.) Create a Kanban rule that incorporates the new activity.

Set the expiration date to the end of the month.

4.) Edit the existing Kanban rule.

Set the expiration date to the end of the month.

Specify the new Kanban rules as the replacement rule Does the solution meet the goal?

The proposed solution to implement the engineering change in a Lean manufacturing environment using Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management consists of the following steps:

  1. Add a new version to the existing production flow and set the expiration date to the end of the month.
  2. Create an activity for the new process step and add it in the proper sequence.
  3. Create a Kanban rule that incorporates the new activity and set the expiration date to the end of the month.
  4. Edit the existing Kanban rule, set the expiration date to the end of the month, and specify the new Kanban rules as the replacement rule.

The goal of the solution is to ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. Let's analyze each step of the proposed solution to see if it meets the goal:

Step 1: Adding a new version to the existing production flow and setting the expiration date to the end of the month seems to be a valid step. By setting the expiration date, the existing version of the product will be phased out, and the new version will take over at the end of the month.

Step 2: Creating an activity for the new process step and adding it in the proper sequence is necessary to ensure that the new step is performed in the correct order. This step is also valid.

Step 3: Creating a Kanban rule that incorporates the new activity and setting the expiration date to the end of the month seems to be a valid step. Kanban rules are used to control the flow of materials and information, and setting the expiration date will ensure that the new activity is incorporated in the production process until the end of the month.

Step 4: Editing the existing Kanban rule, setting the expiration date to the end of the month, and specifying the new Kanban rules as the replacement rule is a valid step. This will ensure that the new Kanban rule is used in place of the existing one, and the new process is followed until the end of the month.

Therefore, the proposed solution seems to meet the goal of ensuring that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. The correct answer is A. Yes.
