------------------------------------------------ ToyMax seeks to determine the number of Kanban containers needed for a newly established work cell. The cell requires 600 parts over an eight-hour day. The production lead time for the parts needed by the cell is 3 hours, and the cell supervisor recommends a safety stock equal to 50% of the cell’s daily production. Assuming a container size of 100 parts, how many containers are needed for the new cell?

Answer :

Answer:

5.25 containers are needed

Explanation:

Given:

Total Demand for 8 hour = 600

Safety stock = 50%

Container size = 100

Lead hour = 3 hour

Computation of container required:


Demand for an hour = 600/8 = 75

Safety stock = 50% of 600 = 300

Needed container = [(Demand for an hour x Lead hour) + Safety stock ] / 100

= [(75 x 3) + 300] / 100

= 525 /100

=5.25


Therefore, 5.25 containers are needed
