Short answer

D Create a route with runtime 6, process quantity 1, and operation hours/time 0.0167 (1 hour/60 minutes).

Question

You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item. This item has the following Lean setup: • The setup uses a Lean schedule group with a throughput ratio = 2. • The process activity tied to production flow has the following runtime activity times: time = 3 min, per quantity = 1. • The work cell capacity has a model type of Throughput and an average throughput quantity of 60 per a capacity period of standard workday (8 hour day). • The throughput is 10 per hour. You need to set up a Discrete operation to mirror the item’s production flow activity. What should you do?

Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
Create a route with a runtime = 10, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/ 60 minutes). Correct Answer

Key Takeaways

Throughput ratio 2 doubles the per-quantity runtime (3 x 2 = 6 min for process quantity 1); runtime is in minutes so hours/time must be 0.0167.

To convert the Lean production flow activity into a Discrete route, create a route with runtime 6, process quantity 1, and operation hours/time 0.0167 (1 hour/60 minutes).

Common mistake: Keep hours/time at 0.0167 (not 1), and keep runtime 6 for process quantity 1; inverting runtime and quantity yields the wrong route.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

As in the related item, the Lean activity's throughput ratio of 2 doubles the runtime to 6 minutes for process quantity 1. Route runtime is in minutes while the operation hours/time field is in hours, so 1 minute = 1/60 = 0.0167 hour. Option D matches exactly.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A uses hours/time = 1, treating 6 minutes as 6 hours.
Option B and Option C use incorrect runtime/process-quantity pairings.

Community Comment Notes

Community consensus is D (100); this is the same lean-to-discrete conversion as the earlier item, presented with different option letters.

I believe the answer is "D." Throughput ratio of 2 indicates product consumes two resources, in other words runtime 3min*2=6min for process quantity of 1. Since our runtime is in minutes, the operation hours/time must be 0.0167. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/set-up-use-discrete-manufacturing-routes/create-operations-relations +throughput ratio link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/production-control/tasks/define-lean-schedule-groups#associate-product

Same like #60 and also #138. But in 138 you cant select correct answer????

Same Question than Question #60 of Topic 1 with other answer.
