You are asked to analyze the kanban system of LeWin. a French manufacturer of gaming devices. One of the workstations feeding the assembly line produces part M670N. The daily demand for M670N is 1,750 units. The average processing time per unit is 0.004 day. LeWin's records show that the average container spends 1.050 days waiting at the feeder workstation. The container for M67ON can hold 375 units. 16 containers are authorized for the part Recall that p is the average processing time per container, not per individual part. a. The value of the policy variable, a, that expresses the amount of implied safety stock in this system is O (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.)
