As a lead product design engineer at a plastics manufacturing company, you have implemented a new process that uses a single tool to produce three finished goods simultaneously. Now you need to set up the planning item number and formula correctly to manufacture the three items. The following are the three actions that you should perform:
A. Create item number for planning item and the associated formula: To manufacture the three items, you need to create a planning item number and the associated formula. A planning item is an item that you use to plan production for one or more finished goods. The planning item represents the item that you produce with the tool. The associated formula includes the required raw materials and their quantities that you need to produce the planning item.
B. Add minimum and maximum quantities on formula: When you create the formula, you should add minimum and maximum quantities to the formula. The minimum and maximum quantities specify the minimum and maximum amounts of raw materials that are required to produce the planning item. By adding these quantities, you can ensure that you have enough raw materials to manufacture the finished goods.
C. Add a coverage group to the formula: You should add a coverage group to the formula. The coverage group specifies the coverage time for the raw materials. The coverage time is the period for which the raw materials are expected to last. By adding a coverage group to the formula, you can ensure that you have enough raw materials to manufacture the finished goods during the coverage time.
The following actions are not required to manufacture the three items:
D. Assign co-products to the formula: A co-product is an item that is produced along with the main item. Co-products are typically produced in a fixed ratio to the main item. In this case, the three finished goods are produced simultaneously, and there are no co-products involved.
E. Specify each of the finished good items as co-products: In this case, there are no co-products involved, so you don't need to specify each of the finished good items as co-products.
