A company implements Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for their Lean manufacturing environment.
There has been an engineering change to a fixed quantity product that is in production.
This change will add an additional processing step as the second step.
The existing version must be phased out and replaced by the new version.
You need to ensure that the engineering change takes affect at the end of the month.
Solution: 1.) Edit the existing step number two activity to be the new engineering process 2.) Edit the existing production flow.
Set the expiration date due to the end of the month 3.) Edit the existing Kanban rule.
Set the expiration date to the end of the month 4.) Activate the production flow Does the solution meet the goal?

A. B.B.
The given solution proposes four steps to ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month in a Lean manufacturing environment where Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is implemented. Let's analyze each step and its effectiveness in meeting the stated goal.
Edit the existing step number two activity to be the new engineering process: This step suggests modifying the existing step number two activity to include the new engineering process. However, it is not clear whether the existing step number two activity is still required or needs to be deleted. Moreover, editing the activity directly may affect other products that use the same activity. Therefore, this step may not be an effective solution to ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month.
Edit the existing production flow. Set the expiration date due to the end of the month: This step proposes modifying the existing production flow by setting an expiration date to the end of the month. However, it is not clear how this modification will ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. Moreover, setting an expiration date may affect the production flow of other products. Therefore, this step may not be an effective solution to meet the stated goal.
Edit the existing Kanban rule. Set the expiration date to the end of the month: This step suggests modifying the existing Kanban rule by setting an expiration date to the end of the month. However, it is not clear how this modification will ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. Moreover, setting an expiration date may affect the Kanban rule of other products. Therefore, this step may not be an effective solution to meet the stated goal.
Activate the production flow: This step proposes activating the production flow. However, it is not clear how this will ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. Moreover, activating the production flow may not automatically include the new engineering process. Therefore, this step may not be an effective solution to meet the stated goal.
Considering the above analysis, it is evident that the given solution may not meet the stated goal effectively. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, i.e., "No."
