Book : Lean Production for competitive advantage
Author : Nicholas John M
The daily demand of an item is 1600 units. The average processing time is 30 seconds per unit. Containers (carrying 240 items) on the average wait for 5 hours before being processed.
Currently 8 containers (kanbans) are being used for this parts. Assume a production schedule of one 8-hour shift per day.
What % safety margin of stock is being carried?
If the demand increases to 1900 items, with 8 kanbans, what would happen to the % safety margin of stock?
Homework Answers
