Consider a stamping press that is used to fabricate the following products which are next welded after leaving the press area. Product Daily Volume Process Time Setup Time A 40 units 2 min 45 min B 50 units 1 min 50 min C 80 units 2 min 50 min D 90 units 1 min 45 min Assume that the press is available only one shift (8 hours per day) and that it loses 50 minutes each day to maintenance and unexpected downtime. You are setting up a signal kanban system between welding and press for product A. Assuming a safety factor of 0.5, what parameters would you use? (Assume that overtime is expensive and you have no other presses where you could offload any of these products.) (If a cycle of one day is not sufficient, you may consider a longer cycle. ) Consider a stamping press that is used to fabricate the following products which are next welded after leaving the press area.
