A production system uses kanban cards to control production and movement of parts and uses 30 pieces of
a certain part. Standard containers hold 15 parts. The waiting time for parts containers is about 42 minutes.
Management has assigned a safety factor of .20 to this work centre. How many containers should be used
to support this operation?
What is the difference b/w a just time system (JIT) and Kanban system
If the kanban system is being employed, when will it be implemented?

- Kanban and takt time. A work center uses kanban containers that hold 300 parts. To produce enough parts to fill the container, 90 minutes of setup plus run time are needed. Moving the container to the next workstation, waiting time, processing time at the next workstation, and return of the empty container take 140 minutes. There is an overall demand rate of nine units per minute.a. Calculate the number of containers needed for the system.b. What is the maximum inventory in the system?c. A quality team has discovered how to reduce setup time by 65 minutes. If these changes are made, can the number of containers be reduced?d. What is the takt time for this process?arrow_forwardState and explain how the kanban squares are operated, and give example also ?arrow_forwardA company is in the business of machining parts that go through various work centers. Suppose work center A feeds work center B with parts. The following times (in minutes) are given for each work center. A standard kanban container holds 50 parts that are transferred from work center A to work center B. The demand rate at work center B is four parts per minute. a. How many kanban containers are needed for this situation? b. If move time is cut in half, what does this do to the number of containers needed? How much will this change reduce inventory?arrow_forward
- The welding department supplies parts to the final assembly line. Management decides to implement a kanban system and has collected the following data: The daily demand is 2000 units.
