A manufacturing plant uses Lean process.
You plan to outsource a painting operation to a subcontracting vendor.
You create a service item named SP-01 to represent the painting service.
You need to create a subcontracting activity for the painting service.
Solution: 1.) Create a vendor warehouse for the subcontracting vendor 2.) Create a vendor resource and add it to a new work cell for outsource painting 3.) Create a production flow transfer activity and specify the vendor warehouse as the target warehouse Does this solution meet the goal?

A. B.B.
The proposed solution to create a subcontracting activity for the painting service involves the following steps:
Step 1 involves creating a vendor warehouse for the subcontracting vendor. This is a necessary step to enable the subcontracting vendor to receive the raw materials required for the painting service and to store the finished goods after the painting operation is completed.
Step 2 involves creating a vendor resource and adding it to a new work cell for outsource painting. A vendor resource is an external resource that is used to perform work on a production order. In this case, the vendor resource represents the subcontracting vendor who will perform the painting operation. Adding the vendor resource to a new work cell for outsource painting will enable the system to schedule the painting operation at the subcontracting vendor's facility.
Step 3 involves creating a production flow transfer activity and specifying the vendor warehouse as the target warehouse. This step is necessary to transfer the raw materials from the manufacturing plant to the subcontracting vendor's warehouse, where the painting operation will take place. The production flow transfer activity also ensures that the finished goods are transferred back to the manufacturing plant after the painting operation is completed.
Therefore, the proposed solution meets the goal of creating a subcontracting activity for the painting service by setting up the necessary infrastructure to enable the subcontracting vendor to perform the painting operation efficiently. Answer A is correct.
