1.
True or False: Inventory cannot be viewed in MES.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement is true because MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is primarily focused on real-time production activities such as scheduling, tracking, and monitoring. It does not typically include inventory management functionalities. Inventory is usually managed in separate systems such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Therefore, inventory cannot be viewed directly in MES.
2.
What serves as the main system of record in the overall SSI landscape?
Correct Answer
B. SAP
Explanation
SAP serves as the main system of record in the overall SSI landscape. SAP is a widely used enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that integrates various business functions and serves as a centralized database for storing and managing data. In the context of the SSI (Smart Systems Integration) landscape, SAP would be the primary system used for recording and tracking information related to manufacturing processes, supply chain management, and other business operations.

If a sample is entered in the DED at 9:14pm, what time will the Sample screen default to?
Correct Answer
A. 9:00pm
Explanation
The sample screen will default to 9:00pm because the sample was entered at 9:14pm, which is closer to 9:00pm than to 9:29pm.
4.
Select the true statement.
Correct Answer
B. Consumption against a production order can be entered as early as one day prior to the start of the production order and until the production order is completed or 48 hrs post-production
Explanation
The correct answer is that consumption against a production order can be entered as early as one day prior to the start of the production order and until the production order is completed or 48 hrs post-production. This means that the system allows for the entry of consumption data before the actual production begins and also allows for the entry of consumption data up to 48 hours after the production is completed. This flexibility allows for accurate tracking and recording of consumption during the production process.
5.
True or False: You can save a partially completed DED and access it later to finish the entry.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
This statement is false. In DED (Data Entry Device), a partially completed entry cannot be saved and accessed later to finish it. Once a DED entry is started, it must be completed in one session and cannot be saved for later.
6.
True or False: MES alerts users when quality samples need to be taken.
Correct Answer
B. B. False
Explanation
MES stands for Manufacturing Execution System, which is a software system used in manufacturing to track and control production processes. While MES can provide real-time data and analysis for quality control, it does not directly alert users when quality samples need to be taken. The responsibility for initiating quality sampling typically lies with the quality control department or the operators themselves, who follow predetermined protocols and schedules for taking samples. Therefore, the statement that MES alerts users when quality samples need to be taken is false.
7.
Select the true statement.
Correct Answer
A. Raw ingredients / packaging materials are scrapped on the MES Consume screen
8.
Which scenario best describes “Batch Fully Consumed” functionality.
Correct Answer
A. Select “Batch Fully Consumed” when all containers for a specific batch have been emptied
Explanation
The "Batch Fully Consumed" functionality should be selected when all containers for a specific batch have been emptied. This means that all the products or materials in the containers of that particular batch have been used or consumed completely. This option is used to indicate that there is no more material left in the containers and the batch can be considered as fully consumed.
9.
True or False: You can perform a reverse consumption in order to scrap ingredients that have already been consumed.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement is true because reverse consumption refers to the process of undoing the consumption of ingredients. This means that if you have consumed certain ingredients, you can reverse that action and scrap those ingredients instead.
10.
True or False: MES allows the correction of consumption errors as they occur by the operator.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
MES stands for Manufacturing Execution System, which is a computerized system used in manufacturing industries to manage and control production operations. One of the key features of MES is its ability to allow operators to correct consumption errors as they occur. This means that if an operator makes a mistake in recording the consumption of materials or resources during the production process, they can immediately correct the error within the MES system. This feature helps to ensure accurate and real-time data collection, leading to better decision-making and improved efficiency in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the given answer "True" is correct.

You are adding animal feed to an existing batch. What information must be entered manually in MES?
Correct Answer
E. Both C and D
Explanation
In MES, when adding animal feed to an existing batch, the information that must be entered manually includes the batch number and the quantity of the material added. These details are crucial for tracking and recording the specific batch and amount of feed that was added. By entering this information, the system can accurately keep a record of the feed inventory and ensure proper traceability.
