A manager wants to determine the number of containers to use for incoming parts for a kanban system to be installed next month. The process will have a usage rate of 88 pieces per hour. Because the process is new, the manager has assigned an inefficiency factor of .23. Each container holds 58 pieces and it takes an average of 70 minutes to complete a cycle.   How many containers should be used? (Round up your answer to the next whole number.)   Number of containers               As the system improves, will more or fewer containers be required?   multiple choice More Fewer

Lean Production

The word lean refers to the “slim “that is used in manufacturing for the systematic designing that focuses on minimizing the waste in the manufacturing or production with the constant productivity of the operation. Lean manufacturing was rooted from Toyota Production system a Japanese manufacturing company that works on the approach of minimizing the non-value-added activities and making the production lean.
