A manufacturing plant uses Lean processes. You plan to outsource a painting operation to a subcontracting vendor. You create a service item named SP-01 to represent the painting service.

You need to create a subcontracting activity for the painting service.

Solution:

✑ Create a vendor resource and work cell for outsourced painting; add the vendor resource to the work cell.

✑ Create a production flow process activity using the painting work cell and the service item for picking.

✑ When the service is required, create a purchase order to the subcontracting vendor and add a line for the service item and the vendor price.

Does the solution meet the goal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To create a subcontracting activity for the painting service, the solution must ensure that the activity is properly linked to the subcontracting process. Creating a vendor resource and work cell, adding the vendor resource to the work cell, and creating a production flow process activity are necessary steps. However, to complete the entire subcontracting process correctly, a purchase agreement with the subcontracting vendor should be established before creating a purchase order. This ensures that the terms of the subcontracting relationship, such as pricing and service expectations, are clearly defined. Therefore, the solution does not fully meet the goal as it lacks the critical step of forming a purchase agreement first.

Don't we need to create purchase agreement first and link it to the activity?
