Pauline Found Manufacturing, Inc., is moving to kanbans to support its telephone switching-board assembly lines. Determine the size of the kanban for subassemblies and the number of kanbans needed. Setup cost = $30 Annual holding cost =$120 per subassembly Daily production = 20 subassemblies Annual usage = 2,500 (

$$\text{50 weeks}\times\text{5 days each}\times\text{daily usage of 10 subassemblies}$$

) Lead time = 16 days Safety stock = 4 days’ production of subassemblies

The term "assembly line" refers to progressive assembly linked by some material handling device. True or false?

Hartley Electronics, Inc., in Nashville, produces short runs of custom airwave scanners for the defense industry. The owner, Janet Hartley, has asked you to reduce inventory by introducing a kanban system. After several hours of analysis, you develop the following data for scanner connectors used in one work cell. How many kanbans do you need for this connector?

Whoever performs the packaging function is severely underutilized. Can you find a better way of utilizing the four- or five-person crew than either giving each a single job or allowing each to manufacture an entire table? How many tables could be manufactured per day with this scheme?

Carol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plant producing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas. The plant has an average inventory turnover of only 12 times per year. She has therefore determined that she will reduce her component lot sizes. She has developed the following data for one component, the safety chain clip: Annual demand = 31,200 units Daily demand = 120 units Daily production (in 8 hours $) = 960 units Desired lot size (1 hour of production) = 120 units Holding cost per unit per year = 12 Setup labor cost per hour =$20
