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: -> Edit the existing production flow and set the expiration date to the end of the month.
-> Using the existing production flow, create a production flow and version.
Set the expiration date to the end of the month.
Create an activity for the new process step and add it in the proper sequence.
-> Create a Kanban rule that uses the last day of the month as the effective date.
-> Edit the existing Kanban rule.
Set the expiration date to the end of the month.
Set the new Kanban rule as the replacement Kanban rule.
-> Activate the new production flow.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. B.A.
The given scenario involves implementing an engineering change in a Lean manufacturing environment using Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The change involves adding an additional processing step as the second step, and the existing version of the product needs to be phased out and replaced by the new version by the end of the month.
The proposed solution involves editing the existing production flow and setting the expiration date to the end of the month. Additionally, a new production flow and version are created using the existing production flow, and an activity is created for the new process step and added in the proper sequence. A Kanban rule is also created that uses the last day of the month as the effective date. Finally, the existing Kanban rule is edited, and the new Kanban rule is set as the replacement Kanban rule. The new production flow is then activated.
This solution does not meet the goal. The expiration date is not a relevant concept when it comes to production flows, and hence editing the existing production flow and setting the expiration date will not be effective. Creating a new production flow and version is a good approach, but simply setting the expiration date to the end of the month is not sufficient to ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. Creating an activity for the new process step and adding it in the proper sequence is a necessary step, but it is not sufficient to meet the stated goal.
Creating a Kanban rule that uses the last day of the month as the effective date is a good approach, but it is not enough to ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month. Similarly, editing the existing Kanban rule and setting the expiration date to the end of the month is not sufficient to meet the stated goal.
Activating the new production flow is a necessary step, but it is not sufficient to ensure that the engineering change takes effect at the end of the month.
Therefore, the proposed solution does not meet the goal, and the answer is B. No.
