    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
