question 22

Multiple Choice

You have been called in as a consultant to set up a kanban control system. The first thing to do is to determine the number of kanban card sets needed.

The tote trays used as containers can hold 8 units of stock, and the lead time it takes to replenish an order is 2 hours. You found that the number of kanban cards needed is 47. Your client now tells you that they miscalculated the demand and the true demand is 300 per hour. All other things remain the same. What is the most appropriate answer from the choices below?

• A) Number of kanban cardsets will stay the same
• B) Number of kanban cardsets will decrease.
• C) Number of kanban cardsets will be 94
• D) Number of kanban cardsets will be 47
• E) Number of kanbancardsets will be 23.5 (rounded to 24).
