a)
To determine: To calculate number of kanbans when the time needed to get the material increases to 45 minutes.
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 calculate the number of kanbans when expectation of output decreases to 125 squidgets.

It takes Susan 30 minutes to solder 10 circuit boards to fill a container and 2 minutes to transport the container to the next station, where John works. John's process takes about 45 minutes. The facility uses a safety factor of 10 percent. Currently, 5 kanbans rotate between Susan and John's stations. What is the approximate demand for circuit boards? 5. Bill works as a sorter for UPS. He can sort a tub of 50 packages in 20 minutes. He typically sorts 100 packages an hour. A truck arrives with more tubs each hour. UPS uses a safety factor of 5 percent. How many kanbans are needed for the package- sorting operation?arrow_forward
