What are some benefits of planning with planned independent requirements?
Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

  1. Reduced production times
  2. Reduced delivery times
  3. Option to use make-to-order production
  4. Option to forecast planning for production resources

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Planned independent requirements (PIRs) are demand elements that represent the sales or production program for a material. They are used to plan the production or procurement of finished products or assemblies in advance, based on the expected demand from customers or internal sources. Some benefits of planning with PIRs are:
Reduced delivery times: By planning with PIRs, you can ensure that the required materials and capacities are available when the actual sales orders arrive. This reduces the lead time for fulfilling the customer orders and improves the delivery performance. Option to forecast planning for production resources: By planning with PIRs, you can use forecasting methods to estimate the future demand for a material based on historical data and trends. This allows you to adjust the production or procurement plan accordingly and optimize the utilization of production resources, such as machines, labor, and materials.

Where do you maintain the work center that represents the production line for repetitive manufacturing?
Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question

  1. Production cost collector
  2. Repetitive manufacturing profile
  3. Routing
  4. Production version

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

The work center that represents the production line for repetitive manufacturing is maintained in two places: the repetitive manufacturing profile and the production version. The repetitive manufacturing profile is a control parameter that defines the basic settings for repetitive manufacturing, such as the planning type, the backflushing method, the confirmation type, and the production line determination. The production version is a combination of a bill of material (BOM) and a routing or a rate routing that specifies how a material is produced. The production version also contains the work center that represents the production line for the material. The production version is assigned to the material master and is used in the planning and execution of repetitive manufacturing.

Which materials have a negative quantity in a bill of material or in a recipe?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question

  1. Continuous flow materials
  2. Bulk materials
  3. By-products
  4. Co-products
  5. Waste products

Answer(s): C,D,E

Explanation:

Materials that have a negative quantity in a bill of material or in a recipe are those that are produced in addition to the main product during a production process. They are either sold or disposed of, and their costs are apportioned among the main product and the co-products. By-products are materials that have a low value compared to the main product and are usually not planned in advance. Co- products are materials that have a high value compared to the main product and are usually planned in advance. Waste products are materials that have no value and are discarded or recycled.

which of the following automation options can you use for production orders?
Note: There are 2 Correct answers to this question?

  1. you can use mass processing to set production orders to technically complete
  2. you can use the production scheduling profile to automatically set orders toI technically complete
  3. You can use trigger points to automatically create rework orders via confirmation.
  4. You can use mass processing to read PP master data for production orders

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

You can use mass processing to set production orders to technically complete. Mass processing allows you to perform the same action for multiple production orders at once, such as changing the status, printing, or confirming. You can use the Set to Technically Complete action to close the production orders that are finished and do not require any further processing. This action updates the order status to TECO and prevents any further changes to the order. You can use trigger points to automatically create rework orders via confirmation. Trigger points are predefined events that occur during the execution of a production order, such as reaching a certain operation or quantity. You can assign actions to trigger points, such as creating a notification, a rework order, or a quality inspection. For example, you can use a trigger point to automatically create a rework order for defective goods when you confirm an operation. The rework order is linked to the original order and inherits the relevant data from it3 .

What is the work center hierarchy in capacity planning?

  1. A group of work center in a parallel sequence that is used to split production quantities and work on them in parallel
  2. A group of alternative work centers providing a cumulative available capacity for production
  3. A group of work centers in a production line being used in sequence for production
  4. A group of alternative work centers for production, structured in hierarchy levels by priorities

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A work center hierarchy is a business object in PP/DS that defines the structure and sequence of resources that are used for a production process. You use this object to represent the logical and physical dependencies of the resources and to control the scheduling and sequencing of the operations or orders. A work center hierarchy allows you to model the production flow and capacity more realistically and ensure the technical feasibility of the production plan1 A work center hierarchy can also be used to cumulate the available capacity and capacity requirements of the resources in capacity planning. You can cumulate the available capacities from subordinate work centers to a superior work center level in order to determine the total available capacity for the superior work center. This way, you can use a work center hierarchy as a group of alternative work centers that provide a cumulative available capacity for production23
