Markland First National Bank of Rolla utilizes kanban techniques in its check processing facility. The following information is known about the process. Each kanban container can hold 25 checks and spends 24 minutes a day in processing and 2 hours a day in materials handling and waiting. Finally, the facility operates 24 hours per day and utilizes a policy variable for unforeseen contingencies of 0.20. a. If there are 29 kanban containers in use, the current daily demand of the check processing facility is units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number)

The following formula is used to calculate the number of bins for a given part needed for a single Kanban loop between two cells in a production system: N = D * (Tw + Tp) * (1+r) / c Where: N = Total number of bins for a given part D = Planned usage rate for the part (parts per day) Tw = Average waiting time for replenishment of parts (fraction of a day) Tp = Average production time for a container of parts (fraction of a day) c = Capacity of the standard container (number of parts) r = Risk factor set by management (expressed as a decimal fraction) At Company A, the boxing station at the end of an electric switch production line has a planned daily usage rate of 150,000 switches per day and receives the switches to be boxed from the preceding station in containers which hold 3% of the day’s demand. It takes 90 minutes for the preceding station to fill a bin and 9 minutes for the filled bin to be delivered to the boxing station. How many such bins are needed for the Kanban loop to work…

The demand for screens for a computer manufacturer is 10,000 per week. The lead time is 5 days, and this manufacturer wants to hold 2 days of safety stock. If the container size of computers is 200, what is the Kanban number? If the lead time improves to 4 days, what is the Kanban number? If the lead time moves out to 6 days and the manufacturer wants 3 days of safety stock, what is the Kanban number?
A fabrication cell at Spradley's Sprockets uses the pull method to supply gears to an assembly line. George Jitson is in charge of the assembly line, which requires 394 gears per day. Containers typically wait 0.5 day in the fabrication cell. Each container holds 45 gears, and one container requires 0.9 day in machine time. Setup times are negligible. If the policy variable for unforeseen contingencies is set at 0.03, how many containers should Jitson authorize for the gear replenishment system? Jitson should authorize containers.

Gestalt, Inc. uses a kanban system in its automobile production facility in Germany. This facility operates 10 hours per day to produce the Jitterbug, a replacement for the obsolete but immensely popular Jitney Beetle. Suppose that a certain part requires 60 seconds of processing at machine cell 33B and an average container of parts averages 1.4 hours of waiting time there. Management has allowed a 12 percent buffer for unexpected occurrences. Each container holds 27 parts, and 5 containers are authorized. How much daily demand can be satisfied with this system? (Hint: Recall that p is the average processing time per container, not per individual part.) The average processing time per container of parts, p, is 0.045 day. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) The average waiting time per container of parts, w, is day. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Lieutenant Commander Data is planning to make his monthly (every 30 days) trek to Gamma Hydra City to pick up a supply of isolinear chips. The trip will take Data about two days. Before he leaves, he calls in the order to the GHC Supply Store. He uses chips at an average rate of five per day (seven days per week) with a standard deviation of demand of one per day. He needs a 98 percent service probability. If he currently has 35 chips in inventory, how many should he order? What is the most he will ever have to order?
