Question

Lead time for computers is 5 days with daily demand of 25 and safety stock of 5 computers. If management wants to use 11 kanbans how many computers should each one hold? lead time 5 days daily demand 25 units per day safety stock 5 units number of kanbans 11 Excel Access

Answer 1

Number of kanbans = (daily demand*lead time + safety stock)/size in kanban

N = (d*L + S)/C

Here,

N = 11

d = 25

L = 5 days

S = 5

C = (d*L + S)/N

= (25*5 + 5)/11

= (130)/11

= 11.82

Answer is: 11.82 (if rounded, then 12)
