Respuesta :

Answer:

Kanban container size = 52 units

Number of kanbans needed = 8

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Calculation for Economic Production Quantity :

Q^2 = 2 × Annual demand × Setup cost ÷ (Annual holding cost ×(1 - (daily demand ÷ daily production)))

Q^2 = 2 × 20,000 × 20 ÷ ($400 × (1 - (80 ÷ 320)))

Q^2 = 800,000 ÷ 300

Q = Kanban container size = 52 units

Number of kanbans needed = ( Demand during lead time+safety stock ) ÷ container size

= ((5 × 80) + 50) ÷ 52

= 8.65

= 8 kanbas
