Number of Kanbans Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

No. of Kanban = (Demand_per_Year*Lead Time*(1+Safety_Factor))/Container Size
N_K = (D*T*(1+X))/C
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

No. of Kanban - No. of Kanban represent is the number of kanban cards needed before you replenish inventory.
Demand_per_Year - Demand_per_Year is the number of goods that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given year.
Lead Time - (Measured in Day) - Lead Time is the length of production from beginning to end.
Safety_Factor - Safety_Factor or Buffer factor is defined as the safety policy that determines what percentage of stock should be kept on hand.
Container Size - Container Size is the total capacity of the containers.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Demand_per_Year: 10000 --> No Conversion Required
Lead Time: 432000 Second --> 5 Day (Check conversion here)
Safety_Factor: 25 --> No Conversion Required
Container Size: 100 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_K = (D*T*(1+X))/C --> (10000*5*(1+25))/100

Evaluating ... ...

N_K = 13000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13000 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

13000 <-- No. of Kanban

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
