Question 16

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?

Options:

Run MRP with quota arrangement

Run PP/DS heuristic for repetitive manufacturing

Assign planned orders manually in the planning table

Answer:

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.

Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Options:

Check material availability.

Schedule production orders.

Define integration with cost accounting.

Select master data.

Question 18

in your Plant, MRP is activated.

which options do you have to exclude a material from the MRP run?

Note: there are 2 correct answers to this question.

Options:

Use a specific material status

Use a specific material group

Use a specific MRP type

Use a specific MRP list

Question 19

Your project uses process orders for the production of liquid chemicals. What can you define to ensure that production flow only happens in suitable and physically connected tanks? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Options:

Resource matrix

Resource network

Resource hierarchy

Resource selection

Answer:

B, D

Explanation:

A resource network is a business object in PP/DS that defines the allowed directed connections between two or more resources. A directed connection means that the connection from Resource 1 to Resource 2 is not the same as the inverse connection from Resource 2 to Resource 1. You use this object to model existing production constraints more precisely, with the objective of creating a finite and technically feasible production schedule. Resource networks simplify the modeling of resource restrictions for consecutive operations or orders1

A resource selection is a business object in PP/DS that defines the criteria for selecting a suitable resource for an operation or an order. You use this object to specify the characteristics, attributes, and capacities of the resources that can be used for a particular production process. Resource selection allows you to optimize the resource utilization and reduce the setup times and costs2

A resource matrix is a business object in PP/DS that defines the relationships between different resources based on their characteristics and attributes. You use this object to determine the setup times and costs for changing from one resource to another. Resource matrix allows you to model the setup effort and expense more accurately and improve the production efficiency3

A resource 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. Resource hierarchy allows you to model the production flow and capacity more realistically and ensure the technical feasibility of the production plan.
