Product A B с D E F G H I J Total Daily Demand 1600 1000 800 600 400 200 100 50 25 25 4800 The final assembly area works eight-hour workdays. a. Products are produced in batches of 50 units, which is also the container size. In terms of number of batches, what is the daily production schedule for the 10 prod- ucts? b. The lead time for all products is two hours per con- tainer. Using a 20% safety margin, how many kanbans are needed for the products? c. If inventory were proportional to the number of kanbans, by what percentage would inventory decrease if the cycle time per 50-unit container were reduced by one hour? d. Assume case (c): What is the benefit of reducing the batch and container sizes to 25 units?
