Question
You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item. This 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?
Options
- ACreate a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 10, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
- BCreate a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
- CCreate a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 0.0167
- DCreate a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.

Explanation
Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1. 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 and operation's hours/time are set to 1 to match the per quantity and time values of the Lean process activity. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/production-control/tasks/define-lean-
