A JIT system has the following processes (C is the final assembly and D is the
warehouse). All the processes employ Kanban. The container size is 250 units and
safety coefficient 0.1. There are 8 operating hours per day.
Process C produces in lot size. The setting up time each time changing lot is 15
minutes. Total time for setting up a day should be less than or equal to 1 hour.
Warehouse D withdraws from C a constant quantity of products which is equal to
the lot size of C. The consuming rate is 4000 units/day. A triangular Kanban is
employed to signal process C to start produce when the stock reaches the reorder
point. Lead time of signal Kanban is 1.0 hour.

 1) If process C uses maximum number of set up time per day allowable, what is the lot size of
process C? Where should we put the triangular Kanban?

2) Process C withdraws parts from B also with constant quantity, which is its lot size. Process B
withdraws parts from A in constant cycle of 1.0 hours. How many withdrawals Kanban C
should have?

3) A supplier delivers material to process A 4 times per day. The supplier production lead time is
0.6 day. What is the supplier Kanban cycle a-b-c? What is the total number of supplier
Kanban?

Answers/Works
1. If process C uses maximum number of set up time per day allowable, what is the lot size of
process C? Where should we put the triangular Kanban?

Safety inventory per day = 4000 x (0.1) = 400 (unit)

Process C uses maximum number of set up time per day

Time maximum set up 60

= = 4 (times)
time set up 15

So, n max = 4 times/ day

¿ 4000 units per day units units units containers

Lot =1000 =1000 /250 =4
4× per day lot lot container lot
Triangular Kanban:

 Lead time (LT) = 1 hour
units 4000 units/day
Demand ¿ 4000 = =500 units /hour
day 8 hours /day

2. Process C withdraws parts from B also with constant quantity, which is its lot size. Process B
withdraws parts from A in constant cycle of 1.0 hours. How many withdrawals Kanban C
should have?

DT ∗(1+ S) 500×(3.5+1+1.5) ×(1+ 0.1)

Withdrawals Kanban C ¿ = =13.2 kanbans=14
C 250
kanbans
N = number of Kanbans
D = Usage rate
T = lead time
S = Safety stock (percentage)
C = Containter capacity

3. A supplier delivers material to process A 4 times per day. The supplier production lead time is
0.6 day. What is the supplier Kanban cycle a-b-c? What is the total number of supplier
Kanban?
1000( ( 3.5/60+1+1 ) × ( 1+0.1 ) )
Withdrawals Kanban C ¿ =9.06=10 Kanbans
250
Lead Time (LT) = 0.6 day

A supplier delivers material to process A 4 times per day => a=1, b=4

We have:
a
c × ≥ leadtime
b
0.6 × 4
c≥ ≥2.4=¿ c =3
1
Supplier Kanban cycle a – b – c: 1 – 4 – 3

 Total number of Supplier Kanban =

Daily demand ×(Orderinterval¿ the supplier + production lead time of the supplier )+ safety inventory
capacity of units per parts box

¿
4000 ( 14 + 0.6)+ 400 =15.2 kanbans → 16 kanbans
