Answer:
4 containers
Explanation:
Given
Average daily demand, d= 750 units
Average time for waiting during production and materials handling, w = 0.15 days
Processing time per container, t = 0.1 days
Container capacity, c = 50 units
Policy variable, α = 5% = 0.05
Number of containers required for component B is calculated as follows;
Total Production/Container Capacity.
Total Production = d(w + t)(1 + α)
Total Production = 750 * (0.15 + 0.1) * (1 + 0.05)
Total Production = 196.875
Number of containers = 196.875/50
Number of containers = 3.9375
Number of containers = 4 --- approximated
