MB-335 study plan

MB-335 · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Configure production prerequisites

  • Map the production-control and inventory parameter set (item model groups, storage and tracking dimension groups, coverage settings) onto a single product you configure end to end

  • Create a released product variant with the correct storage, tracking, and reserved dimension groups and explain in writing why each choice is required

  • Configure a bill of materials (BOM) with at least three lines, including one phantom line, and verify the calculated cost rolls up as expected

  • Build a route with two operations and attach a route version to the released product

Your checkpoint

A one-page configuration sheet listing every dimension group, coverage group, and BOM/route setting used, with a one-sentence justification for each

Week 2

Configure production prerequisites

  • Set up production prerequisites: production units, calendars, working times, and resource groups tied to the operations created in week 1

  • Configure a resource with capacity and a cost category, then link it to a route operation

  • Define a default order type and production parameters at the site and legal-entity level

  • Test that a production order can be estimated and scheduled against the configured calendar without errors

Your checkpoint

A working sandbox scenario where one production order estimates and schedules cleanly, captured as an annotated screenshot set or written test log

Week 3

Configure products & Configure production prerequisites

  • Configure a product master with variant dimensions (size, color, style) and generate variants for at least two combinations

  • Assign product attributes and attribute types, and build a product variant matrix

  • Create a product configuration model with one attribute and two components, then test the configuration from a sales order line

  • Reconcile the week 1 prerequisites against the new variant product so both products share consistent dimension groups

Your checkpoint

A comparison table of the two configured products showing dimension groups, variant setup, and configuration model usage

Week 4

Configure products & Implement production methods

  • Build a product configuration model with at least three components, a constraint expression, and a calculated field

  • Write and test a table constraint and an expression constraint, and document which one fires first

  • Configure a route with route groups and attach operation relationships so the sequence is enforced

  • Explain in writing how configuration selection flows into BOM and route selection for a production order

Your checkpoint

A configuration model with constraints that rejects an invalid combination and accepts a valid one, plus a short write-up of the test results

Week 5

Implement production methods

  • Implement lean manufacturing concepts: production flows, activities, and kanban rules for a simple value stream

  • Configure a kanban rule with a fixed quantity and a scheduled rule, then trigger both

  • Set up a BOM version and route version with activation dates and verify the correct version is selected on a given date

  • Configure subcontracting or a phantom BOM path and trace how it explodes into the parent order

Your checkpoint

A value-stream diagram with the configured production flow and kanban rules annotated, plus a record of each kanban being triggered

Week 6

Configure production control

  • Configure production control parameters: production order defaults, ledger posting, and costing settings

  • Create and run a production order through estimate, schedule, release, start, report as finished, and end

  • Configure scrap and yield settings and verify their effect on material consumption

  • Set up a costing sheet or cost group structure and confirm the finished good cost matches the BOM and route

Your checkpoint

A full production order lifecycle log with the cost breakdown before and after reporting as finished

Week 7

Configure production control & Implement additional supply chain management features

  • Configure master planning so planned production orders are generated for a demand signal, and review the planned order type

  • Set up a quality association on a production order and process an inspection order

  • Implement inventory and warehouse features that support production: locations, work centers, and input/output locations

  • Configure a batch or serial number policy and trace a produced item through reporting as finished

Your checkpoint

A planning and quality scenario document showing a planned order converted to a production order and passing inspection

Week 8

Configure products & Configure production prerequisites & Implement production methods & Configure production control & Implement additional supply chain management features

  • Re-run every week's deliverable in a fresh environment without referring to earlier notes

  • Build a personal error log of every configuration mistake found and the fix for each

  • Complete a timed set of practice questions weighted toward domains 2 and 4, then review every missed item

  • Summarize each domain in five bullet points that you could explain to a colleague

Your checkpoint

A consolidated one-page cheat sheet per domain plus a scored practice-test result with a remediation list

Milestones

Week 2: You can create, estimate, and schedule a production order against a configured resource and calendar without errors

Week 4: A product configuration model with constraints correctly accepts valid and rejects invalid combinations, and you can explain how that selection drives BOM and route choice

Week 6: A production order completes the full lifecycle and its cost matches the expected BOM and route calculation

Week 8: You can rebuild the core scenario from scratch unaided, and your weighted practice score is at or above your target passing margin
