Tej Dhakar's company wants to establish kanbans to feed a newly established work cell. The following data have been provided. Note : This is a level production system. Daily demand 150 units Production lead time 3.00 days Safety stock 1.50 days Kanban size 50 units How many kanbans are needed? nothing kanbans (round your response to the nearest whole number).

13.5

Explanation:

The calculation of Number of kanbans needed is shown below:-

Demand during lead time = Daily demand * Production lead time

= 150 * 3.00

= 450

Safety stock = Safety stock * Daily demand

= 1.50 * 150

= 225

Number of kanbans needed = (Demand during lead time + safety stock) : Kanban size

= (450 + 225) : 50

= 675 : 50

= 13.5

So, for calculating the number of Kanbans needed we simply applied the above formula.
