Kanban Equation 2: Fixed Container Size and Average Demand

This equation calculates the number of cards when the kanban quantity is fixed to the container size and demand is based on the average daily demand.

(Kanban size) = (average daily demand) × [(leadtime delivery (days)) + (scan delta days)] + (safety stock)

(Number of cards) = (kanban size) ÷ (container size) = 373 ÷ 25 = 14.92 = 15 cards

(Quantity per container) = (container size) = 25 units

Note: To create a fewer number of cards, increase the container size in the Kanban Size Calculation Parameter Definition program.
