Verizon LTE 12:26 PM psu.instructure.com Question 1 Nature's Best Bakery produces cakes for a large supermarket chain. The last stage of their process is icing the cake. If Nature's Best Bakery runs 3-eight hour shifts, what would be the Takt time for icing 600 cakes? O 2.00 minutes O 2.40 minutes O 2.80 minutes O 3.20 minutes Question 2 1 pts Jolly Ice Cream Company is looking into a new flavor and process. They anticipate that the daily demand for this ice cream will be 1,800 pints. If they run 2-eight hour shifts, what would be the required Takt time? .53 minutes .59 minutes .67 minutes 0 .75 minutes

Explanation / Answer

Answer to Q.1

Takt time = Available time in a day/ number of cakes = 24 hours/ 600 cakes = 24 x 60/600 minutes = 2.4 minutes

TAKT TIME = 2.4 MINUTES

Answer to question 2:

Takt time = Total time in a day / number of pints = 16 hours / 1800 = ( 16 x 60 ) / 1800 = 16/30 = 0.53

TAKT TIME = 0.53 MINUTES

Answer to Q.3

Reduced lead time = 1 day

Daily demand = 40 blades

Hence, demand during lead time = 40 x 1 = 40

Safety stock @ 20% = 20% of 40 = 8

Hence total inventory to be catered to using Kanban card = In process inventory + safety stock = 40 + 8 = 48

Size of container = 5 blades

Hence, number of Kanban cards required = 48/5 = 9.6 ( 10 rounded to nearest whole number )

NUMBER OF KANBAN CARDS WHICH WOULD BE REQUIRED = 10

Answer to Q.4

Demand during lead time = 500 bottles/ hour x 0.5 hour = 250 hour

Safety stock = 20% of demand during lead time = 20% of 250 = 50

Hence Reorder point = Demand during lead time + safety stock = 250 + 50 = 300

Container size = 25 bottles

Therefore , number of Kanban cards which will be required = 300 / 25 = 12

12 NUMBER OF KANBAN CARDS WILL BE REQUIRED

Answer to Q5.

Hourly demand = 250

Lead time = 4 hours

Demand during lead time = 250 x 4 = 1000

Safety stock level @10% = 100

Total inventory = Demand during lead time + safety stock = 1000 + 100 = 1100

Number of containers = 4

Hence, Volume of containers = 1100/4 = 275

VOLUME OF CONTAINER = 275

TAKT TIME = 2.4 MINUTES
