Which of the following are possible configuration steps when setting up the alert monitor in Advanced Planning?
Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

  1. Create an object selection variant for priority-category-related alerts.
  2. Assign the alert profile to the overall profile.
  3. Create an object selection variant for production-planning-related alerts.
  4. Assign the overall profile to the authorization profile.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

The alert monitor in Advanced Planning allows you to monitor and analyze the planning situation and identify any problems or deviations from the desired state. To use the alert monitor, you need to configure the following elements:
Overall profile: This defines the scope and content of the alert monitor, such as the planning objects, the alert types, the alert categories, and the alert levels. You can assign one or more alert profiles to an overall profile to specify the alerts that you want to monitor. Alert profile: This defines the criteria and parameters for generating alerts, such as the time horizon, the planning version, the planning mode, and the alert threshold. You can create different alert profiles for different planning scenarios or objectives. Authorization profile: This defines the access rights and restrictions for the alert monitor, such as the planning objects, the locations, the products, and the resources that a user can view or edit. You can assign an overall profile to an authorization profile to control which alerts a user can see or process. Therefore, to set up the alert monitor, you need to assign the alert profile to the overall profile (B) and assign the overall profile to the authorization profile (D). Creating an object selection variant for priority-category-related alerts (A) or production-planning-related alerts © is not a configuration step, but a selection option in the alert monitor to filter the alerts by different criteria.



Which options do you have to plan both quantities and capacities during line loading in repetitive manufacturing?
Note: There are 2 Correct answers to this question?

  1. Run MRP with quota arrangement
  2. Run PP/DS heuristic for repetitive manufacturing
  3. Assign planned orders manually in the planning table
  4. Assign planned orders manually in the planning table

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

Run PP/DS heuristic for repetitive manufacturing: PP/DS (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling) is a component of SAP S/4HANA that provides advanced planning and scheduling functions for complex production scenarios. You can run the PP/DS heuristic for repetitive manufacturing to automatically assign planned orders to production lines based on the available capacity, material, and sequence constraints. The PP/DS heuristic also optimizes the line utilization and minimizes the setup times and costs.
Assign planned orders manually in the planning table: The planning table is a graphical tool that allows you to view and manipulate the production plan for repetitive manufacturing. You can assign planned orders manually to production lines by dragging and dropping them in the planning table. You can also adjust the start and finish dates, quantities, and sequences of the planned orders. The planning table shows the capacity situation and the material availability for each production line. You cannot plan both quantities and capacities during line loading in repetitive manufacturing by using the following options:
Run MRP with quota arrangement: MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is a process that calculates the quantity and timing of material requirements based on the demand and supply situation. You can run MRP with quota arrangement to distribute the total requirements for a material among multiple sources of supply, such as vendors, plants, or production lines. However, MRP does not consider the capacity constraints or the sequence dependencies of the production lines, and therefore cannot plan the capacities during line loading. Assign planned orders manually in the planning table: This option is identical to option C and therefore cannot be a correct answer.

How can you achieve a feasible production plan in case of capacity constraints?
Note: There are 3 Correct answers to this question.

  1. Increase the capacity supply in a time-phased interval.
  2. Determine a time period with available capacity on the planning board.
  3. Execute an infinite production planning run for the critical resources.
  4. Reduce the planning Window.
  5. Form optimum sequence to reduce setup times.

Answer(s): A,B,E

Explanation:

Increase the capacity supply in a time-phased interval: You can use the capacity planning table or the capacity planning board to increase the available capacity of a resource by changing the shift sequence, the shift duration, or the number of individual capacities. You can also use the capacity leveling function to distribute the capacity requirements over a longer time horizon. This way, you can avoid capacity overloads and create a balanced capacity load. Determine a time period with available capacity on the planning board: You can use the planning board to visualize the capacity load and the capacity availability of a resource in a graphical Gantt chart. You can use the filter and zoom functions to focus on a specific time period and resource. You can also use the capacity evaluation function to display the capacity situation in a tabular or graphical form. This way, you can identify the time periods with available capacity and plan the operations accordingly.
Form optimum sequence to reduce setup times: You can use the setup matrix or the setup group key to define the setup times and the setup categories for a resource. You can also use the setup optimization function to determine the optimum sequence of operations that minimizes the total setup time. This way, you can reduce the capacity consumption and increase the throughput of the resource.

What does a line hierarchy in repetitive manufacturing represent?

  1. A production line with more than one work center
  2. A production line with prioritized work centers
  3. A production line with a parallel sequence in the routing
  4. A production line with an alternative sequence in the routing

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A line hierarchy in repetitive manufacturing represents the structure of a production line that consists of multiple work centers. A line hierarchy is a master data object that defines the sequence and the relationship of the work centers that are involved in producing a material. A line hierarchy can be split into different levels, such as line segments, processing stations, or takt areas, to reflect the complexity and the variability of the production line. A line hierarchy can be used for planning and scheduling operations, controlling material flow, and monitoring production performance. The other options are not correct for the following reasons:
A production line with prioritized work centers (B): This is not correct. A line hierarchy does not define the priority of the work centers, but the order and the dependency of the work centers. The priority of the work centers can be determined by other factors, such as the capacity availability, the production rate, or the scheduling parameters.
A production line with a parallel sequence in the routing ©: This is not correct. A line hierarchy does not represent the parallel sequence in the routing, but the linear sequence of the work centers. A parallel sequence in the routing means that two or more operations can be performed simultaneously on different work centers for the same material. A parallel sequence in the routing can be modeled by using alternative sequences or parallel sequences in the line hierarchy. A production line with an alternative sequence in the routing (D): This is not correct. A line hierarchy does not represent the alternative sequence in the routing, but the main sequence of the work centers. An alternative sequence in the routing means that there are different options for performing an operation on different work centers for the same material. An alternative sequence in the routing can be modeled by using alternative sequences or parallel sequences in the line hierarchy.

Which time elements can be reduced by a reduction strategy?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.

  1. Goods receipt processing time
  2. Move time
  3. Wait time
  4. Float after production
  5. Queue time

Answer(s): B,C,E

Explanation:

A reduction strategy is a method of shortening the lead time of an order by reducing certain time elements in the order scheduling. The time elements that can be reduced by a reduction strategy are move time, wait time, and queue time. Move time is the time required to move a material from one operation to another. Wait time is the time between the end of an operation and the start of the next operation. Queue time is the time before an operation can start at a work center due to the work center's capacity utilization. These time elements can be reduced by a percentage or a fixed value in the reduction strategy.
