64 The Ham Bone Sandwich Company makes rib-shaped barbecue pork sandwiches that are frozen, boxed and shipped to large retailers. You have been asked to reduce inventory by establishing a kanban system. The daily production (demand) rate is 380 boxes. The production lead time is 3 days. They want to keep 1.5 days of safety stock on hand in finished goods (the safety stock factor) in order to respond quickly to spikes in demand. The kanban size is 80 boxes (which is roughly one pallet's worth of sandwiches).How many kanbans do they require? (Display your answer to the most appropriate whole number.)

A work centre uses an average of 50 parts per hour. A standard sized container holds 20 parts. On average it takes 30 minutes for a contained to complete the circuit from a kanban being received until the container is returned full. If the policy is to use a safety stock of 10% (% of usage during the lead time), how many kanbans should be used? (rounding up to provide a relatively loose system).Multiple Choice4312

A producer of refrigerator compressors wants to implement a just-in-time production line to support demand from a neighboring appliance manufacturer. Demand from the appliance manufacturer is for 235 compressors a day. The production lead time is 6 days and the producer wants to have a 15% safety stock factor. This producer has also cut setup costs such that the optimal production quantity is 33 units.How many kanbans does this producer of compressors require? (Display your answer to the most appropriate whole number.)

A downstream process that uses 150 parts/day (on average). The lead time to obtain new parts once the signal start from the Point of Use (POU), arrive to the upstream (or supplier) and the parts are delivered to the POU is 10 days. The Safety Stock in percentage is 15% (to compensate demand variation or delays). Every container is of 75 parts. Calculate the number of Kanban needed for the process: 20 27 25 23

Durabright wants to establish kanbans to feed a newly installed work cell for its line of LED traffic signal lamps. The daily production (demand) rate for this new family of products is 65 units. The supplier lead time for the bulb housing, used by all products in this product family, is 8 days. They want to keep 2.75 days of safety stock of this housing on hand (the safety stock factor).The kanban size for the bulb housing components is 95 units. How many kanbans do they require?
