Respuesta :

Answer:

25 containers

Explanation:

The computation of the number of kanban containers required is shown below:

= (Lead time demand + Safety stock) Ă· Container size

where,

Lead time demand is

= 2,000 units Ă— 4 days

= 8,000 units

Container size = 400 units

Safety Stock is

= 1 day Ă— 2,000 units

= 2,000 units

So, the number of kanban containers required is

= (8,000 units + 2,000 units) Ă· (400 units)

= 25 containers

We simply applied the above formula
