Medium Resource Optimization | Solve |
*TechMotive Corp.*, an electric vehicle manufacturer, relies heavily on Dynamics 365 SCM. With the upcoming launch of their new *E-Volve* car model, they anticipate a surge in production demand. The production line for the *E-Volve* shares certain critical resources (machines and technicians) with two other car models. To ensure efficient resource allocation without disrupting existing production schedules, they need to optimize their Dynamics 365 SCM configurations.
Given the following insights, which Dynamics 365 SCM strategy should *TechMotive Corp.* prioritize?
1. Demand forecasts for the *E-Volve* model are updated weekly, but resource scheduling in the system is done on a monthly basis.
2. Currently, resource allocation is done based on first-come, first-serve (FCFS), without considering the strategic importance of a particular model.
3. Technicians' schedules are often adjusted manually due to last-minute changes, but these adjustments are not always reflected promptly in Dynamics 365 SCM.
4. Their Dynamics 365 SCM does not have real-time machine telemetry integration, so unplanned downtimes are not immediately reflected in the schedule.
A: Implement real-time telemetry integration for machinery to get instant updates on their status and potential downtimes.
B: Adjust Dynamics 365 SCM to align demand forecasting updates with resource scheduling frequency.
C: Transition from an FCFS resource allocation to a priority-based allocation considering the strategic importance of each model.
D: Automate the adjustment of technician schedules in Dynamics 365 SCM to reduce manual entries and improve real-time accuracy.
E: Combine telemetry integration and adjust resource scheduling to weekly intervals while implementing priority-based allocation.
