DELMIA – Quiz-1

1. Choose 2 correct statements about Gantt charts.

 They show interdependencies between processes.

 They're one step in process planning.
 They can be used as a substitute for PPR model.
 They provide a time-related perspective on the process plan.
 They focus on value-added activities.
 They show the flow of materials, information, and worth along processes.

A Gantt chart provides a time-related perspective on the process plan, showing the duration and
interdependencies of the processes. The focus of a Gantt chart is on time, not on value-added activities or
the flow of materials, information, and worth along the processes. For the last two objectives a Value
Stream is used. Both Gantt charts and Value Streams can be tools for building a PPR model in process
planning, but they don't substitute the model and are not process planning steps.

2. Choose 2 correct statements about Value Stream.

 It's a step in process planning.

 It shows interdependencies between processes.
 It provides a time-related perspective on the process plan.
 It shows the flow of materials, information, and worth along processes.
 It focuses on value-added activities.
 It can be used as a substitute for PPR model.
A Value Stream focuses on the value-added activities and flow of materials, information, and worth along
the processes. For getting a time-related view, the Gantt charts are used. Both Gantt charts and Value
Streams can be tools for building a PPR model in process planning, but they don't substitute the model and
are not process planning steps

Choose the 2 most accurate statements about process planning in the digital factory.

 Process planning in the digital factory can be successfully substituted by

traditional planning methods, e.g., paper or Excel plans.

 Process planning in the digital factory can be done only for assembly,
fabrication, quality, and logistics.
 Process planning in the digital factory is done holistically and takes into
account all areas and aspects in connection with each other.
 Process planning is a minor task in the digital factory, which is not always
necessary.
 Process planning in the digital factory is based on scientific methods of
Taylorism and relies on modern IT technologies for complex production
planning and optimizations.

Process planning is a core task in the digital factory. It is based on scientific methods of Taylorism. Due to
the use of IT technologies, process planning in the digital factory can represent complex relations and
interconnections of different production areas, which allows for much faster and more efficient planning
compared to the traditional methods. All activities in production and beyond can be planned in the digital
factory holistically. 

Choose the 2 most accurate statements about processes in production.

 The process is a flow of materials in the factory.

 The process transforms the input into the output.
 The process provides the final output that can't be used further in production.
 The process is a sequence of steps needed to achieve a defined goal.

The process in production is defined as a sequence of steps needed to achieve a certain goal. To some
extent, processes can represent the flow of materials in the factory, but they also include resources needed
to execute the process and have clearly defined input and output. The output of one process can be the
input for the next process, which means it can be used further in production

What is a PPR model?

 Choose 2 correct statements.

 A 3D model of processes in the factory

 A consistent, complete data model that covers all planning aspects
 A network of processes connected to products and resources
 A detailed description of every single isolated process

A PPR (Product – Process – Resource) model is a network of processes which connects the processes to
products and resources. It can use 3D models of products and parts along with other data such as EBOM
and MBOM, but it is not necessarily a 3D model itself. It provides a comprehensive view of production by
showing all activities and their connections to each other.
