OR students considered a production cells that uses two components X1 and X2. Every complement is produced at the rate of 350 per hour. Because the two components are different sizes, they have different-sized containers: The container for X1 holds 25 units, the container for X2 holds 30 units. The operation supplying X1 takes 15 minutes to fill the container; the operation for X2 takes 8 minutes to fill the container. Total move and wait time between each operation and the assembly is 10 minutes. a. How many Kanbans are needed between each operation and the production cell? Assume a 10% safety margin. b. If the production cell decide to use a number of containers for X1 as X2 what is the new container size for X1?
