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)

(Average daily demand) = ( (average period demand in the Periods in MRP Window) × (vendor split percent) x (demand split percent for the consuming location)) ÷ (days built per period)

The system calculates the number of kanban cards by dividing the kanban size by the container size.
