Hartley Electronics, Inc., in Nashville, produces short runs of custom airwave scanners for the defense industry. You
have been asked by the owner, Janet Hartley, to reduce inventory by introducing a kanban system. After several
hours of analysis, you develop the following data for scanner connectors used in one work cell. How many kanbans
do you need for this connector?
Daily demand
Lead time
Safety stock
1,600 connectors
3 days
0.50 day
Kanban size
500 connectors
Number of kanbans =
kanbans (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Bracket Manufacturing uses a Kanban system for a component. Daily demand is 1,100 units. Each container has a combined waiting and processing time of 0.65 days. If the container size is 90 and the alpha value (α) is 13%, how many Kanban card sets should be authorized? Round your answer up to the whole number.
