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.
Which of the following is the number of Kanban card sets necessary to
support this situation?
(Points : 10)
5,000
5,500
6,300
6,500
7,000
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.
