An assembly station is asked to process 100 circuit boards per hour. It takes 20 minutes to receive the necessary components from the previous work station. Completed circuit boards ae placed in a rack that will hold 10 boards. The rack must be full before it is sent on to the next work station. If the factory uses a safety factor of 10%, how many kanbans are needed for the circuit board assembly process?
A JIT system uses kanban cards to authorize movement of incoming parts. In one portion of thesystem, a work center uses an average of 100 parts per hour while running. The manager hasassigned an inefficiency factor of .20 to the center. Standard containers are designed to hold sixdozen parts each. The cycle time for parts containers is about 105 minutes. How many containersare needed?
