a)
To determine: To compute the number of kanbans when demand is maximized up to 200 circuit boards on hourly basis.
Introduction:
Lean production is a system for the management in which it focuses on reducing waste, checking the quality, and all the efforts are put to fulfill the market needs. All the activities starting from manufacturing to distribution are managed efficiently through the lean system.
b)
To determine: To compute the number of kanbans when lead time gets increased up to 30 minutes.
