Question

ABC Manufacturing uses a Kanban system for a component. The daily demand is 800 units. Each container has a combined waiting and processing time of 0.34 days. If the container size is 50 and efficiency (safety) factor is 9 percent, how many Kanban card sets should be authorized (round up)?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 (rounded up to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Number of kaban= Daily demand*lead time in days * ( 1 + safety stock)/quantity in a container

= 800*0.34* (1+9/100)/50

272 * 1.09/50

272* 0.0218

=5.9296

=6 ( nearest whole number)
