Exam MB-320 topic 2 question 41 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's MB-320

Question #: 41
Topic #: 2

You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item.

The 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?

A. Create a route with a runtime = 1. a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes).
B. Create a route with a runtime = 10. a process quantity = 6. and the operation's hours/time = 1.
C. Create a route with a runtime = 1. a process quantity = 1, and the operation s hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes).
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).

The correct answer is 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). This setup will match the throughput ratio of the Lean setup, which is 2. Since the Lean process activity has a runtime of 3 minutes per quantity, the Discrete operation should have twice the runtime, or 6 minutes per quantity. The process quantity is set to 1 to match the per quantity value of the Lean process activity. The operation’s hours/time is set to 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes) to represent the time it takes to complete one unit of work in the Discrete operation.
