What is the relationship between the number of kanban cards in a process and theinventory level?a. There is no relationship between the two.b. There never can be more inventory in the process than what was authorized viakanban cards.c. The inventory of the process grows with the square root of the number of kanban cards.d. The inventory of the process can be reduced by adding more kanban cards.
A Kanban is a Japanese term for a production supervisor who is responsible for controlling the flow of production in many just-in-time sys
A machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 2 seconds, or 30 units per minute. Assume there is ample demand.
Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 1,000 unties of A and 1,000 units of B. What is the utilization of the machine?
answer: _____percent
