Question 8.8 . ( TCO 3 ) You have been called in as a consultant to set up a Kanban control system . The first thing you do is to determine the number of Kanban card sets needed . Your research shows that the expected demand during lead time for a particular component is 1,200 per hour . You estimate the safety stock should be set at 5 % of the demand during lead time . The tote trays used as containers can hold two units of stock and the lead time to replenish an order is 10 hours .

Question 9.9 . ( TCO 7 ) In a work center , machine A has a 10-minute setup time per batch and a 2 minute per unit run time . Machine B performs the identical function but has a setup time of 30 minutes and a 1-minute run time per unit . The work center makes products in batches ranging from one unit to 100 units . Assuming capacity is not a limitation on either machine , on which batches should machine B be used ? ( Points : 10 ) All batches should be run on machine B . Batches of more than 20 units should be run on machine B . Batches of fewer than 80 units should be run on machine B . Batches with up to 50 units should be run on machine B
. No batches should be run on machine B .
