    45

    Explanation:

    Number of Kanbans = demand during lead time + safety stock: size of container

    Number of Kanbans = [ (1977 * 6) + 1.5 * 1977] / 328

    = (11,862) + (2,965.5) / 328

    Number of Kanbans

    =14,827.5/328

    = 45

    Therefore we would need 45 kanbans for this connector.
