Question
•• 16.3 Pauline Found Manufacturing, Inc., is moving to kanbans to support its telephone switching-board assembly lines. Determine the size of the kanban for subassemblies and the number of kanbans needed.
Setup cost = $30
Annual holding cost = $120 per subassembly
Daily production = 20 subassemblies
Annual usage = 2,500 (50 weeks × 5 days each × daily usage of 10 subassemblies)
Lead time = 16 days
Safety stock = 4 days’ production of subassemblies.

Question NO. 4
Convinced by the efficiency of hybrid model, Sony, started to produce LED filaments of its Soy TV's
itself while outsourcing all its other components. Initially, Sony can only produce these LED filaments at a
very steady rate of eight hundred per day. Three hundred TVs are assembled daily in eight hours shift, 250
days a year. Due to difference in TVs demands and its production, LED filaments are only produced in
batches of 2,000 units. Your are required to estimate;
Annual production of LED filament batches in numbers
b. Starting with zero inventory, if usage and production remains the same what would be the inventory
levels after 76 hrs.
Calculate average inventory levels when each production cycle starts with zero inventory.
d. The same equipment that is used to make the LED filaments could also be used to make another
filament used in the firm's other products. That job would require four days, including setup time.
Setup time for making a batch of the LED filament…

The filters are ordered from a supplier in Trenton, New Jersey. Peet's manager is interested in applying some inventory theory to determine the best replenishment strategy for the filters. Peet's pays $2.80 per box of filters and estimates that fixed costs of employee time for placing and receiving orders amount to about $20. Peet's uses a 22 percent annual interest rate to compute holding costs. How large a standing order should Peet's have with its supplier in Trenton, and how often should these orders be placed?
