d. (15 points) Consider the Hybrid Battery.
d. (15 points) Consider the Hybrid Battery. Suppose the same Battery Pack is used in the Avalon Hybrid as in the Camry Hybrid. Estimate the TAKT time of the line that produces Battery Packs for the Camry and Avalon Hybrid models. Now consider component X of the battery pack, called an NiMH battery module. There is one production line that makes battery modules that go into Battery Packs with a similar schedule to vehicle assembly (two eight-hour shifts per day for 5 days/week). Suppose cach battery pack consists of 34 battery modules, i.e. each Battery Pack is made from 34 units of the X component. The average lead-time (wait time in quelle production time) for one container of Component X is one week. The kauban container size for X is 345 units (battery modules): so each time Component X's kanban authorizes production 345 units of X are produced. A 15% minimum safety stock is desired to compensate for uncertainties, this means that the desired target inventory is at least 1.15 times the work-in-process inventory level computed using only the average data provided above (without uncertainties). Estimate the number of kanban cards required for Component X
