(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Total number of Kanbans required

Concept Introduction:

In the Just-In-Time (JIT) system, the material is purchased and goods and services are generated in a sufficient amount. JIT is a part of the inventory and production management. It is very reliable in satisfying the actual demand of the customers and can reduce waste and error at the same time.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The total number of the Kanbans can be calculated by the following formula.

  K=D(p+t)(1+γ)C

Where,

  Daily demand (D)=17units/dayProcessing time+waiting time (p+t)= 3.75Container Size (C) = 4Safety factor (γ) = 5% or 0.05

Now, putting the values in the formula.

  K=D( p+t)( 1+γ)CK=17( 3.75)( 1+0.05)4K=17( 3.75)( 1.05)4= 66.934= 16.73=17

Hence, the total number of Kanbans required is 17.

(b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Maximum authorized router inventory

Explanation of Solution

The maximum authorized router inventory is calculated by the following formula.

  Maximum authorized system= K×C= 17×4= 68

Hence, the maximum authorized inventory is 68.

(c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The average inventory of routers

Concept Introduction:

In the Just-In-Time (JIT) system, the material is purchased and goods and services are generated in a sufficient amount. JIT is a part of the inventory and production management. It is very reliable in satisfying the actual demand of the customers and can reduce waste and error at the same time.

(c)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The average inventory of the router is calculated by the following formula.

  Average inventory of routers  = K×C217×42= 34

Hence, the average inventory of routers is 34.

Now, the total number of Kanbas is 13.

  Maximum authorized system= K×C= 13×4= 52

  Average inventory of routers  = K×C213×42= 26

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. An event hall that hosts public lectures, book readings, poetry slams, and other similar events uses a one-week periodic review inventory system for the throat lozenges that it stocks for its patrons. A two-day lead time is needed for any order, and the event hall is willing to tolerate an average of one stock-out per year. (a) Using the event hall's service guideline, what is the probability of a stock-out associated with each replenishment decision? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is normally distributed with a mean of 50 units and a standard deviation of 12 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) (c) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is uniformly distributed between 45 and 95 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
