Question

Drag and Drop Question A company plans to implement Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Match each manufacturing strategy to its definition. To answer, drag the appropriate manufacturing strategy from the column on the left to its definition on the right. Each manufacturing strategy may be used once, more than once, or not at all. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Exhibit

Explanation

Approach. Each definition maps directly to a well-defined manufacturing paradigm: Make to Stock (MTS) drives production from forecasts - goods sit in inventory awaiting orders, optimizing lead time at the cost of potential overstock. Make to Order (MTO) only triggers production when a confirmed customer order exists, eliminating excess inventory risk but extending lead times. Configure to Order (CTO) sits between the two - a standard base product is pre-built or pre-staged, but specific options/features (e.g., color, modules, accessories) are assembled to the customer's specification before shipment, balancing lead time and customization. In Dynamics 365 SCM these strategies affect how production orders, item coverage groups, and BOM configurations are set up.

Concept tested. Manufacturing execution strategies (Make to Stock, Make to Order, Configure to Order) in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management - specifically how each strategy determines the timing of production relative to customer demand and the role of inventory or customization in fulfillment.
