3.- A company that manufactures bath towels works in a regular way, very quiet and established since its foundation in 2017. Being a company that sells to retailers, its production is very small and controlled, month by month they produce 135 towels, of which 130 are conforming product. In July 2020 they worked 23 days. Their standard operating time per month is 5 hours per day, working from Monday to Friday. There are no meetings involved and there is only a scheduled break time of half an hour per day, and since the production machines are fully manual, no warm up time is required. Usually at the 100 hours worked, there is a "break", to review the production so far and check with customers that the 130 units per month will be needed. This waiting time (Waiting in Kanban) is 5 hours (equivalent to one working day), so it is planned to coincide with Monday or Friday so that employees do not need to wait physically in the plant and can do it from home, waiting for instructions to…
