5) (15) ABC company manufactures three types of items at a work center on two machines. Since the setup times are relatively high compared with the processing times, ABC has been advised to implement the signal Kanban operating policy. The following data are available: Holding cost = 25% of the container cost, per year Setup Cost = 65 USD per hour. Item Container Cost ($) Daily Demand Processing time per container (hours) (Containers) Setup Time (hours) 1 500 300 0,1 0,2 2 1.000 100 0,15 0,4 3 1.500 200 0,25 0,5 Determine the optimal number of signal kanbans for the following situations: a) Minimum inventory level b) Minimum total cost consisting of setup and holding c) The company is also planning to make some investments in reducing setup times.
