Answer:

360

Explanation:

Kanban is a method that is used to mange workflow in order to assist in visualizing the work and maximize the efficiency of a workers as well as making the workers agile.

The formula for calculating the number of Kanban is given as follows:

Number of Kanban = (Dd × LT × (1 + SS)) ÷ QC   .................. (1)

DD = Daily required production level = 250

LT = Lead Time (in minutes) = 30

SS = Safety Stock  = 20% = 0.2

QC = Number of squidgets in a container = 25

Substituting the values above into equation (1), we have:

Number of Kanban = (250 × 30 × (1 + 0.2)) ÷ 25

                                = (250 × 30 × 1.2) ÷ 25

                                = 9,000 ÷ 25

                                =  360  

Therefore, the number of kanbans to be circulated between Sandy's process and the previous operations is 360.

Cameron Tiller is paid one and one-half times the regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week and do
kozerog [31]

Answer:

His regular earnings ( based on regular rates) is $480 while his total earnings for the week ended March 15 is $738.

Explanation:

Regular rate = $12 per hour

Rate for hours in excess of 40 hours per week

= (3/2) × $12

= $18

Rate for hours for Sunday is double

= 2 × $12

= $24

During the week ended March 15, 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday

Period in excess of 40 hours during the week

= (9 × 5) + 4 - 40

= 9

Total regular earning = 40 × $12

                                   = $480

Additional earnings = (9 × $18) + (4 × $24)

                                 = $162 + $96

                                 = $258

Total earnings = $480 + $258

                        = $738
