Chapter 16, Problem 10P
In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuit boards has a demand for 200 units an hour. Two feeder cells supply parts A and B (o the assembly cell (one A and one B for each board). Standard containers that look like divided trays are used. A container will hold 20 As or 10 Bs. It takes 10 minutes to fill up a container with As and 20 minutes to fill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is 5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used. Set up a kanban

A supplier provides parts to a manufacturing company that demands frequent deliveries. At the present time it takes six hours to make a round trip between the supplier’s warehouse and the customer, including loading, travel, and unloading time. The lot size is 12 pallet loads on a truck, and the manufacturer uses 2 pallets per hour.a. How many trucks are needed to ship the pallets to the manufacturer?b. What is likely to happen if the truck breaks down?c. How can the supplier ensure that the customer does not run out of parts even in the face of delivery problems or other uncertainties?d. What will happen to the supplier if the manufacturer runs into trouble and shuts down for a period of six hours?
In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuit boards has a demand for 250 units an hour. Two feeder cells supply parts A and B to the assembly cell (one A and one B for each board). Standard containers that look like divided trays are used. A container will hold 24 As or 10 Bs. It takes 10 minutes to fill up a container with As and 24 minutes to fill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is 5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used. Set up a kanban control system for the assembly process.
DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF KANBAN CONTAINERS
Hobbs Bakery produces short runs of cakes that are shipped to grocery stores. The owner, Ken Hobbs,wants to try to reduce inventory by changing to a kanban system. He has developed the following dataand asked you to finish the project.Production lead time = Wait time + Material handling time + Processing time = 2 daysDaily demand = 500 cakesSafety stock = 12 dayContainer size (determined on a production order size EOQ basis) = 250 cakes

- Jitsmart is a retailer of plastic action-figure toys. The action figures are purchased from Tacky Toys, Inc., and arrive in boxes of 20. Full boxes are stored on high shelves out of reach of customers. A small inventory is maintained on child-level shelves. Depletion of the lower-shelf inventory signals the need to take down a box of action figures to replenish the inventory. A reorder card is then removed from the box and sent to Tacky Toys to authorize replenishment of a container of action figures. The average demand rate for a popular action figure, Agent 99, is 18 units per day. The total lead time (waiting plus processing) is 2 days. Jitsmart's safety stocky policy variable, a, is 0.05. What is the authorized stock level for Jitsmart? units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)arrow_forwardA 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.
