MB-330 Implement and Manage Supply Chain Processes Practice Question
You are setting up a Kanban board. Which parameter must be defined to control the number of active Kanbans at any given time?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates frequently confuse Kanban quantity policies with production flow models or generic replenishment parameters when asked to control active card counts.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Fixed Kanban quantity.
The 'Kanban quantity' or the 'Fixed Kanban quantity' is the setting that limits the number of cards in circulation. This is the heart of Lean manufacturing in D365, ensuring that work-in-progress (WIP) remains at a level that avoids bottlenecks. Controlling this quantity helps maintain a steady flow of production, preventing the shop floor from becoming overwhelmed with inventory that cannot be processed efficiently.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Production lead time.
Why it's wrong here
Lead time measures the duration of production, not the number of units or cards in the process. While lead time is a key performance metric for Lean, it does not control the quantity of Kanbans allowed in the system, making it an incorrect parameter for limiting WIP.
- ✓
Fixed Kanban quantity.
Why this is correct
The fixed quantity parameter dictates how many Kanban cards are permitted for a specific production flow. This is the primary control mechanism to limit inventory levels on the shop floor. By setting this correctly, you balance supply and demand while preventing excessive work-in-progress accumulation.
- ✗
Storage dimension group.
Why it's wrong here
Storage dimension groups track inventory locations and warehouses, not the quantity of production cards. Using these to define Kanban limits is impossible, as they lack the quantitative fields necessary to constrain production flow, illustrating a misunderstanding of how Lean production parameters are applied to work cells.
- ✗
Warehouse work template.
Why it's wrong here
Warehouse work templates are used for directing warehouse staff in picking and put-away tasks. They have no relationship to the Kanban replenishment system or the configuration of work-in-progress quantity limits, as their scope is limited purely to physical warehouse movement execution, not production quantity control.
