QUESTION $1$

Please answer Ch $8$ #$5$ below. How many Kan$-$Ban containers are required?

A formula and an example problem are provided for reference.

$($R$)$ LO$8-5$

The welding department supplies parts to the final assembly line. Management decides to implement a kanban system and has collected

the following data:

a$.$ The daily demand is $2000$ units.

b$.$ The production lead time is $4$ days $($this includes processing time, transport time, and waiting time$).$

c$.$ Management has decided to have $1$ day of safety stock.

d$.$ One container fits $400$ units.

How many kanban containers will be needed to support this system?

L$08-5$ Explain the concepts of single$-$unit flow, pull, kanban, and just$-$in$-$time and be able to compute the appropriate number of kanban cards

Number $of$ kanban cards $=\frac{\text{D}\text{e}\text{m}\text{a}\text{n}\text{d}\text{d}\text{u}\text{r}\text{i}\text{n}\text{g}\text{r}\text{e}\text{p}\text{l}\text{e}\text{n}\text{i}\text{s}\text{h}\text{m}\text{e}\text{n}\text{t}\text{t}\text{i}\text{m}\text{e}+\text{S}\text{a}\text{f}\text{e}\text{t}\text{y}\text{s}\text{t}\text{o}\text{c}\text{k}}{\text{C}\text{o}\text{r}\text{t}\text{a}\text{i}\text{n}\text{e}\text{r}\text{s}\text{i}\text{z}\text{e}}$
