Your company has set up a change-controlled environment within Oracle Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to manage product data. To comply with regulatory requirements, you need to ensure that only authorized users can approve specific types of changes. In this scenario, which Oracle PLM functionality should you leverage to establish this control? Change Order Templates Status Controlled Lifecycles Electronic Signatures with Workflow Constraints Privilege-Based Access Control.
Your company, X-Tech, has developed a set of complex products with numerous subcomponents that are frequently updated with new revisions. X-Tech uses Oracle Product Management Cloud to manage the product lifecycle. As a Product Manager, you need to ensure that any changes to component designs within a product family are effectively communicated to relevant stakeholders, and incorporated across the various products that use these components, ensuring data consistency. What feature would you leverage in Oracle PLM Cloud to ensure changes are managed effectively? Item Classifications Change Orders Product Structures (BOM) Product Portfolios.
Your company is implementing Oracle Product Lifecycle Management, and you are responsible for configuring the system to ensure that new supplier components are reviewed by both the Supply Chain Manager and the Quality Analyst before being approved for use. The company wants the process to be automated such that the Supply Chain Manager must always approve first, followed by the Quality Analyst. How should you configure the supplier-user approval workflow to meet this requirement? Create two parallel approval groups and add the Supply Chain Manager and Quality Analyst to each respective group Create a serial approval group with the Sypply Chain Manager followed by Quality Analyst Configure an automated rule that routes the approval to the Quality Analyst only if the Supply Chain Manager approves the component Create a serial approval group with the Quality Analyst followed by the Supply Chain Manager.
The company has introduced a new policy where all proposals must include a preliminary market analysis before being escalated to the development stage in the Oracle PLM Cloud system. As an implementation professional, how can you ensure that this step is included as part of the proposal phase in Oracle PLM? Develp a training program for employees to remind them to attach their market analysis to every proposal Modify the proposal object to include a mandatory field for attacching the preliminary market analysis Create a checklist item for market analysis that must be manually checked off by the proposal creator before submission Require a mnual sign-off the marketing department for each proposal that includes a review of the market analysis.
As the Lead Oracle Quality Implementation Specialist, you are configuring a system for a client who wants to ensure that each product batch is tested for five specific quality attributes before it is approved for sale. However, there is a need for a conditional sixth test, which is only required when a batch fails one of the initial five tests. Which configuration in Oracle Quality would allow you to meet this complex quality control requirement? Configure a quality collection plan with six tests and set the sixth test's trigger based on the failure of any of the initial five tests Use a single quality test plan with mandatory testing for all six attributes and manually ignore the sixth test unless one of the first five fails Develop a static quality test where all batches are subjected to the sixth test to maintain standardization Create a quality plan with only five tests and initiate a new, separate quality plan for the sixth when necessary.
While setting up a NIR process, the company wants to ensure that the item request approval is contingent upon the successful risk assessment by the Risk Management team. The risk assessment is external to the Oracle Product Lifecycle Management system and could take an indeterminate amount of time. How should you configure the workflow to accommodate this requirement? Establish a workflow status checkpoint after the initial approval and before the final approval that requires manual intervention to proceed after the risk assessment completion Integrate an automated system trigger that awaits a signal from the Risk Management external system, processing with the workflow upon receiving successful risk assessment confirmation Create a timeout escalation within the workflow that automatically approves the request after a specified period if the risk assessment is not completed Implement a workflow step that assigns a task to a Risk Management role with sufficient privileges to pause the workflow indefinitely until the risk assessment results are manually entered.
