Business Management
A bottling plant fills 2,400 bottles every two hours. The lead time is fourty minutes and a container accommodates 120 bottles. The safety stock is 10% of expected demand. How many kanban cards are required?
K = DL(1+S)
C
D = 2,400 bottles every two hours
L = 40 minutes
S = 10 percent
C = 120 bottles
K = 2,400×40(1+.1)
120
K = 2,400×40(1.1)
120
K = 2,400×44
120
K = 105,600
120
K = 880
