Implementing Manufacturing and Materials Management: From Empty Plant to Costed Work Order · Module 5 · Units of Measure and Calendars

Forty minutes, against Halden Works. UOM classes and units covering the Halden Works product range, with base units justified — justified at the granularity you actually transact at. Standard conversions within at least two classes. One interclass and one intraclass conversion. A manufacturing calendar reflecting a stated working pattern, generated five years forward, with holidays and a shutdown. A three-shift rotating pattern for Bergen, and a single-shift pattern for Skien — two calendars, deliberately, because one calendar does not fit. Calendars assigned to all organizations. And evidence: a transaction converting between units, with the result verified by hand. Four acceptance criteria, and the second teaches the most. The hand-verified conversion matches the system result.
