Daily demand units Production lead time Safety stock Kanban size units How many kanbans are​ needed? nothing kanbans ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

Answer 1

14 kanbans

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

d = 150 units

lt = 3.00 days

Safety stock = 1.50 days

c = 50 units

Demand during lead time = d * LT

Demand during lead time = 150 * 3

Demand during lead time = 450 units

Safety stock = d * 1.50 days

Safety stock = 150 * 1.50

Safety stock = 225 units

N = Demand during lead time + Safety stock / C

N = 450 units + 225 units / 50 units

N = 675 / 50

N = 13.5

N = 14 kanbans

So therefore, the unit of 14 kanbans are needed.
