Concept Introduction: Kanban system: Kanban card is an indicator used by various departments of a firm or a company to inform about the shortage of components being faced. It is a card that is used when raw material or any item is completely finished.

Gestalt, Inc. uses a kanban system in its automobile production facility in Germany. This facility operates 8 hours per day to produce the Jitterbug, a replacement for the obsolete but immensely popular Jitney Beete. Suppose that a
certain part requires 150 seconds of processing at machine cell 338 and an average container of parts averages 1.6 hours of waiting time there. Management has allowed a 10 percent buffer for unexpected occurrences. Each
container holds 30 parts and 5 containers are authorized. How much daily demand can be satisfied with this system? (Hint: Recall that p is the average processing time per container, not per individual part)
The average processing time per container of parts, p, is 0.156 day. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places)
The average waiting time per container of parts, w, is
day. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places)
Better eliminate waste of over processing is a direct benefit related to a pull system.

- A manufacturer of instrument gauge clusters (gauges) uses a Kanban system to control material flow. The gauges are transported in a container that holds four. The demand at a downstream fabrication center is approximately 12 gauges per hour. It takes approximately three hours for the gauges to be replenished by an upstream work center. Due to variations in fabrication times, management has decided to keep 2 percent of the needed inventory as safety stock. Given the data above, how many Kanban cards are required?
