Question

ivernonions Industries uses a kanban system to manage production of the BR-549 subassembly. In an eight-hour day, they use 900 units and use containers that can hold 30 units each. It takes 120 minutes to fill and move a container of parts to the right place on the BR-549 line that is currently rated at a 15% safety factor. How many production hours of inventory are needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

production hours of inventory is 8.625 = 9  kanban

Explanation:

given data

d = 900 units per day = 112.5 unit per hour

c = 30 unit

time t = 120 min = $\frac{120}{60}$ = 2 hours

safety factor  x = 15 %

to find out

many production hours of inventory are needed

solution

we find here many production hours of inventory are needed that express as

N = $\frac{dt(1+x)}{c}$      ....................1

put here value we get

N = $\frac{112.5*2(1+0.15)}{30}$  

N = 8.625 = 9
