Part 1
Gestalt, Inc. uses a kanban system in its automobile production facility in Germany. This facility operates
88
hours per day to produce the Jitterbug, a replacement for the obsolete but immensely popular Jitney Beetle. Suppose that a certain part requires
150150
seconds of processing at machine cell 33B and an average container of parts averages
1.61.6
hours of waiting time there. Management has allowed a
1010
percent buffer for unexpected occurrences. Each container holds
3030
parts, and
88
containers are authorized. How much daily demand can be satisfied with this system?
(Hint:
Recall that
p overbarp
is the average processing time per container, not per individual part.)
