Determine the size of the Kanban for the subassembly line and the number of kanbans needed based on the data below (10 points) . Setup cost = $30 .Annual Holding Cost $120 per monitor subassembly. Daily production = 20 monitors subassemblies. Annual Usage 2,500 (50 weeks * 5 days each * daily usage of 10 subassemblies) Lead time = 16 days Safety stock = 4 days, production of subassemblies .

Number of kanban=D*L(1+safety stock)/EOQ=
D=Daily production
L=Lead time
So=20*16(1+4)/31=51.6=52approx
Size of kanban=DD*(LT+SS)/number of kanban-1=20(16+4)/52-1=400/52-1=8-1=7
