Kanban Equation 3: Fixed Number of Cards and High Demand

This equation calculates the kanban quantity for a fixed number of containers when an item has high demand.

The number of cards is fixed at 10 in the Kanban Size Calculation Parameter Definition program.

The maximum and minimum number of cards are the same in the Kanban Size Calculation Parameter Definition program for the fixed number of cards.

(Kanban size) = (high daily demand) × [(lead time delivery (days)) + (scan delta days)] + (safety stock)

(Kanban size) = 110 × (2 + 1) + 50 = 380 units

(Container size) = (kanban size) ÷ (number of cards) = 380 ÷10 = 38 (quantity per card or container size)
