Hartley Electronics, Inc., in Nashville, produces short runs of custom airwave scanners for the defense industry. You have been asked by the owner, Janet Hartley, to reduce inventory by introducing a kanban system. After several hours of analysis, you develop the following data for scanner connectors used in one work cell. How many kanbans do you need for this connector? Daily demand 1 comma 400 connectors Lead time 3 days Safety stock 1.00 day Kanban size 500 connectors Number of kanbans = nothing kanbans (round your response to the nearest whole number).

Number of kanban connectors needed is 11.2 containers

Given that,

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Number of kanban connectors needed = (Lead time demand + Safety stock) Container size

By putting the value, we get

= [(1,400 3) + (1 1,400)] (500)

= (4,200 + 1,400 ) (500 )

=  11.2 containers

11.2 containers

Explanation:

The computation of the number of kanban connectors needed is given below:

= (Lead time demand + Safety stock) ÷ Container size

where,

Demand during Lead time demand is

= 1,400 units × 3 days

= 4,200 units

Container size = 500 connectors

Safety Stock is

= 1 day × 1,400 units

= 1,400 units

So, the number of kanban connectors needed is

= (4,200 units + 1,400 units) ÷ (500 units)

= 11.2 containers

We simply used the above formula
