[All C_TS422_2023 Questions]

Your company produces a finished good based on a forecast and expects it to be in stock when customers order it. If customers order more than the forecasted quantity, this must NOT have any impact on the production program. Which planning strategy do you use?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Make-to-stock production (10) is a planning strategy that supports the production of a finished good based on a forecast and without any reference to sales orders. This strategy is used when the finished good has a stable and predictable demand, and the company wants to maintain a certain level of safety stock to meet customer orders. If customers order more than the forecasted quantity, this does not affect the production program, as the system does not generate any additional planned orders or purchase requisitions for the finished good. Instead, the system reduces the planned independent requirements by the sales order quantity, and the excess demand is covered by the safety stock or the available stock. This strategy allows for a smooth and continuous production process, and avoids frequent changes in the production plan.Reference:Make-to-Stock Production | SAP Help Portal,Planning Strategies | SAP Help Portal,SAP S/4HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing Certification Guide, page 52.

D all the way! Planning without final assembly is the way to go. That way, the company can adapt to changes in demand without disrupting the whole production process. This is some serious supply chain strategy stuff!

But wouldn't planning with final assembly also provide some level of flexibility?

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser! I'm going to go with B. Planning with final assembly - it's the only one that sounds like it could handle the unexpected demand without messing up the production plan.

I think Make-to-stock production (10) would not be able to handle the unexpected demand without impacting the production program.

D is the correct answer. Planning without final assembly allows the company to adjust production without impacting the existing program. Make-to-stock is not the right approach here.
