A fabrication cell at Spradley's Sprockets uses the pull method to supply gears to an assembly line. George Jitson is in charge of the assembly line, which requires $500$ gears per day. Containers typically wait $0\mathrm{.}20$ day in the fabrication cell. Each container holds $20$ gears, and one container requires $1\mathrm{.}8$ days in machine time. Setup times are negligible. If the policy variable for unforeseen contingencies is set at $0\mathrm{.}050,$ how many containers should Jitson authorize for the gear replenishment system?

Jitson should authorize $$ containers. $($Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.$)$

Using the number of containers calculated in the above step, calculate the total safety stock of gears across all the containers for Spradley's Sprockets.
